Super bro.

Hi bro,
1. Is this safe?
2. Blast Aaha yedha Chances irukka?
3. Off Panna mudivuma?
4. 2 feet tank yedhana naal Vaum?
1. It is safe
2. Yes. Sometimes it happens.
3. No. It will run for 24 hours.
4. 10 to 15 days depends on the plant mass.
Very informative video, Thank you .
I have 160 litre tank, how much Co2 do I need?
Use a CO2 indicator to check the amount of CO2
amzn.to/4c1j4Xq
How much is the price of the caps and doest the air controller leak?
Please check the link in the video description for price. It doesn't, it is best to check for leakage.
Excellent bro awaiting for this long time.
1. How to stop during not co2 required time
2. Any smell or any harmmess for sensitive fishes and shrimps
1. You can close the controller or you can use an air pump.
2. No smell and it will not harm live stock if CO2 is in the right quantity. Use CO2 indicator.
How much we need to provide CO2 bro for 60p tank bro and light should be on while providing CO2 bro ?
Yes add CO2 only when the light is ON. Use a CO2 Drop Checker/Indicator to check the amount of CO2 in the water column.
Sir.i have been watching all your videos,i am from b'lore.sir apart from online where can we get bottle cap.please let me know.T-U sir.
It is available only online now.
@@AmudhAquascapesthanks for all your reply.
Hi bro how r u. Where we will get all those caps and other plastic materials
Please check the description. Buying link for all the items are there.
Ok brother thank you
Bro evlo naal idhu co2 produce pannum
For a 60cm tank it is coming for 23 days bro.
Hi sir can we use oxigen control value instead of pneumatic flow control valve
Yes, you can. Make sure that the air valve doesn't leak.
In this method the same quantity of material will use in diy system how many days it will work
2-3 weeks for a 30L Aquarium with medium plant mass.
I have done the same setup as per you instruction but co2 is not generated what to do?
Did you use baking soda or baking powder? If you used baking soda then check for leakage around the caps and joints.
I have used baking soda, and there is no leak, when i remove diffuser i can see bubbles coming when diffuser is fixed co2 is not coming
Is started after sometime, but over night all citrict acod water is transferred to baking soda and looks i have to again refill baking soda and citric acid? What could be the reason
Video ku mattum tha its all ok
Can I keep both the bottles below the fish tank? That is my tank is on the table. Please let me know.
It is always safe to keep the bottles below the table.
@@AmudhAquascapes thanks a lot for your time 👍
Also please let me know 1. How many times I should press the bottle in a day?
2. The bottle you've used is a normal Coke bottle?
3. How to stop the process at night time?
1. If you start it once you don't have to do it again.
2. Yes, they are coke bottles. Use only soda bottles they only can withstand the pressure.
3. You can stop it by releasing the pressure with the air control valve in the A cap. Instead you can put a air pump on timer (this is the better way).
Thanks a ton bro...
Sorry not connector what is the use of T connector?
After chemical reaction, the CO2 released goes to the citric acid bottle and builds the pressure through the T connector. Which prevents moving citric acid to baking soda bottle. You can know more here about the equilibrium www.co2supermarket.co.uk/diy-co2-kit-setup-instructions-guide-6.html
One time ready panni vecha ethana days varum bro.
up to 15 days for a moderate planted tank.
Diy co2 la night time air pressure lock pana does bottle blast bro or entha issues varatha
I think when the pressure is stopped the reaction also stops. Mine is running 24hrs. You can know more about the process here www.co2supermarket.co.uk/diy-co2-kit-setup-instructions-guide-6.html
@@AmudhAquascapes giving c02 for 24hrs leds to fish dead bro??
Good surface agitation will help the gas exchange or you can use an air pump when the light is off.
@@AmudhAquascapes ok bro thankyou, while pressure vinger from bottle A to B, baking soda is coming back to A is there any way to stop this? Issue
Hello Anna. I tried this setup, CO2 is getting generated (CO2 is released from tubes in big bubbles) but when I connect diffuser, it is not sending any CO2 out.. any suggestions?
Please check for leakage around the caps and joints using soap water or you can submerge the entire setup into a bucket of water. If the pressure won't build up, the CO2 diffuser won't work.
No Anna, leaks yengayum ila.. pressure build agi iruku.. my bottles became stone hard after reacting with full gas. When I use DIY diffuser with syringe, Co2 is coming.. I think something wrong with the diffuser.. is there any way to treat the diffuser?
Which diffuser are you using? Please use bleach to treat the diffuser and try again.

After 30 mins of waiting it started tiny bubbles. Working fine now.. I got it from kolathur. Thank you for your response 🙏
Sir I went through whole video you have not explained about connecter.
I replied to your other comment. 🙂

Nothing we can do bro. This happens sometimes for me also. There are a few disadvantages in DIY CO2. You can try a pressurized CO2.
A and B bottle ku naduvula extra oru NRV use Panna itha avoid pannalam bro but B bottle pressure la break Agatha alavuuku mattum Citric acid add pannunga.
