Thank you 😊
@@madebykm @Literally, OMG So much informative video, Genuinely Quality Rich Content
This is really unfortunate that this channel is underrated, aquarist caring for plants must watch this video. I too have started planted tank and obviously made this co2 generator for my plants.
Finally some one who explains things in simple and organised way with zero unnecessary talks....Keep up the good work..👍
Thank you 😊
Exactly, straight to the knowledge. I loved this video.
Same ingradients packed in a pack and named as Aquario Neo DIY CO2 kit, that brand is selling this same stuff explained in this video for $30 and refils for $20. Crazy. Thanks a lot Kaushik. You are a legend as always I am following you since 2 years and in this aquarium hobby. Read a lot books, reddit, videos but no one is like you. You are the best.
Thank you 😊
I agree, this is the single biggest underrated channel. I really don't know why. Thank you to the creator. 😊
Thank you too!
Your solid. On point. No babble. Best diy I've seen yet.
This was the best tutorial ever on the subject! I’m glad I’ve waited to set it up until seeing your video! 🙏🏼
Glad it was helpful!
probably the best tutorial for DIY Co2 for aquariums.
Thank you so much for one of the best simple and in-depth tutorials I've ever had the pleasure to learn from 👏👀🙇♂️
Glad it was helpful!
Informative, concise and comprehensive. Thanks for this information without any irrelevant "filler" content. I'm off to do come DIY C02 😎
Thanks 😊
This channel deserves more subscribers….
Thank you
I just came across your video as I'm considering adding co2 to my next Aquascape. Thank you for making an easy step simple DIY instructional video, I have found your video to be one of the best ones for a newbie like me to follow. I was always daunted by anything to do with co2 but wish to attempt a nice carpet in my next tank. Thanks again 😀
Welcome 👍
Good, easy to understand video. I use this for my 14 Liter Nano Tank. A very cheap and effective method to produce CO2. I don`t have a diffusor like your`s, I use an airstone hanging free in the tank. At day, when more CO2 is needed for my plants, I hang it down to the bottom of the tank. In the night, when no CO2 is needed, I lift the airstone to the water surface. So I don`t need to take the tube away every time.
66k views and 2k likes. You deserves more. If I can only hit the like button multiple times... your contents are great especially for those who are newbies. Thank you!
Thank you 😊
Very useful and effective video. I am just going to follow your process blindly. Thanks a lot Kaushik. Keep it up. God bless you 🙏

You deserve more subscriber! keep it up brother
Thank you
I just tried it for my planted tank. It works perfectly. It's 3rd day already and hoping for a longer supply of co2... Thank you so much.
Thank you for the feedback.
is it working gud
Where did you get the airline connectors and check valve?
You are the best.. love from kerala
Thank you 🙏
I have see this method before but no one explained it so well…..i love DIY….been using DIY co2 for about 2 years now and now i will make it with Agar Agar powder….Thanks and Regards
Glad it was helpful! You can also watch my other DIY CO2 video using jelly crystals...
@@madebykm did that already n liked it…..i am going to try both
Thanks :-)
Thanks dada...
Welcome 😊
Very good video. Keep it up brother
Thank you
Thank you
You've explained everything precisely and perfectly. But, i wanted to know one thing that jelly you've made with agar agar powder how long it's gonna last? Hats off to you and sincerely thanks. You're making significant impact on this community .
Please check description, thank you.
Good work up 👍
Thanks ✌️
Thank you Kaushik.. this looks like super useful, like all your other videos.. i have a few questions though
1. Do we not need to shake the yeast water to activate the yeast?
2. I tried using 2 bottles using a t-connector to generate Co2, but coz of the possible pressure difference, the co2 was getting generated from only 1 bottle... whats the solution to that?
3. How many times can i use the jelly in the generator bottle?
Hats off 😍
Thanks
Hi , the video on DIY co2 kit you posted is very easy to follow - thank you .
Can you please tell me what are the valves you used ?
I used aquarium check valves - amzn.to/3Ltf2ge It allows air to flow in one direction only and prevents water from siphoning out of the aquarium. Thank you.
Great video
Thanks
yr the best thank you
Thank you
Darun darun darun
Thank you 😊
Wow amazing
Thank you! Cheers!
Great idea. Tried it and its running for the past 3 days and I am pleased. I liked your idea about just changing the yeast water once a week to make the CO2 generation last longer.
Thank you 😊
good morning Bro, after how long the bubbles start forming.
only yeast and water no need add sugar
@@rommelfronda831 normally you need to add sugar, thats what will get the yeast going, start the fermentation process
@@rommelfronda831 you need a source of sugar because yeast consume sugars and create alcohol and CO2 as a byproduct, without sugar the yeast will do nothing
excellent vid brother
Thanks 👍
I want to say first and foremost thank you so much for the video. I’ve watched tons and yours is by far the best! I want to make sure I’ve done this correctly. I’ve had it set up for a couple hours now and I’m seeing bubbles in the bottle with water in it (no bubbles are forming in the diffuser 😕). But only 1 bubble every 21 seconds. I’ve checked for leaks and I don’t have any. Does it need more time to build up co2? Or should I make the yeast water again with more yeast? I halved the amount of each ingredient because the bottle I have is not large enough.
Yes, it will take more time for the pressure to build up and then the diffuser will work. You don’t have to make the yeast-water again, just add more yeast to the solution, CO2 production will increase. For more information, please see the video description. Thank you.
@@madebykm okay thank you. Another question. Is there supposed to be water inside the diffuser itself? I have the claves diffuser
Is it a glass diffuser? Usually there is water inside the CO2 diffuser.
Thanks for your wonderful video.
Instead of agar powder I used China grass after few day jelly getting dissolved with sugar+yeast water.
What to do in such case. Please guide❤
Hello, thank you for this well explained video. I just have a simple question; can we do the same with Plastic kitchen containers with large caps instead of coke bottles?
first of all, thank you for sharing! also, how do you change the content of the bottle (the yellow part that sits on the bottom)? or does it decrease (in terms of height) as it is consumed?
Every thirty days, the jelly needs to be replaced, and during that time, it will melt and crumble. You can easily remove it at that point by pressing the bottle.
That’s crazy smart.
Thanks 👍
Hey Kaushik!
You're doing an amazing job. And I totally agree that this channel deserves many more followers. I've been toying with the idea of DIY Carbon kit for my 77 litre tank. And I'm definitely up for trying your method, which btw is so cool and thoughtful. I just have one question though, can I attach the CO2 outlet to my existing power head filter, which I also use for O2, at the same time? Like there's O2 and CO2 being dispersed into the aquarium by the same power head.
Thank you. I request you to watch my DIY CO2 diffuser video. There I showed how to use a power filter to diffuse CO2 gas in a planted aquarium.
And when you use CO2 (when the lights are ON) you don't have to inject / disperse air into the aquarium. CO2 is not required at night or when the lights are off. At that time you can disperse air through a power filter or use an air pump / air stone.
Thank you for your prompt response, much appreciated. Tumi darun chele 😁 hope my Bengali is still good
Thank you 😊. Your Bengali is great 👍
Btw, have you got Instagram?
Hello Kaushik,
Thank you for this gr8 video, i hv prepared everything accordingly, plse can you tell me after how long the fermentation process will start and CO2 will be produced. It has already been half an hr and there is still no result
Wait a few hours, it will start. Also, see the video description for more information. Thank you.
great videos bro, there are people who uses very costly products and endorse their own products and makes videos of half an hour long....and call themselves hobbyists...those kind of people also have subs in lakhs, and people like you have only 1.8k..what a shame....you deserve much much more.
Thank you so much 🙏
Yeah true...
Hi sir. I have important question.
Thanks so much for your video, it helps me a lot.
1. How long (in hour) would you recommend the Agar-agar turns to jelly before i can put the yeast inside?
2. I've waited for 1 day, but the diffuser still didn't produce co2, whether glass or ceramic diffuser. Is this normal?
3. The yeast is leaking from the co2 generator bottle, how do i overcome this?
Thanks so much for your video again.
Same ingradients packed in a pack and named as Aquario Neo DIY CO2 kit, that brand is selling this same stuff explained in this video for $30 and refils for $20. Crazy. Thanks a lot Kaushik. You are a legend as always I am following you since 2 years and in this aquarium hobby. Read a lot books, reddit, videos but no one is like you. You are the best.
Can you please research on that same products from Aquario Neo DIY CO2 kit last for 50-60 days for 10-25 gallon tank without changing any yeast solution. Please reverse engineer that and make another banger video why its lasting that much and you can replicate this video in 3rd latest 2023 part.
All the best. Lots of love brother from Pune.
Ok, I will try, thanks 😊
ur a legend
Thanks
Thank you so much. I followed it step by step. Co2 is getting generated but what ever I have done so far, the gas is not passing through the diffuser. It is passing through all other makeshift bubbling tubes but not the diffuser. Can you help please
First, check if the CO2 system has any leaks. For this, you need to entirely submerge the CO2 system (with the CO2 diffuser attached to the system) in a bucket of water. If you see bubbles coming out of any joints, there is a leak, and you need to fix it accordingly.
But if you find that there are no leaks in the system, wait a few hours as these CO2 diffusers need some pressure to work. When enough pressure builds up in the bottle, the diffuser will work.
Hey Kaushik, I'm so grateful to you for all these amazing videos you've posted. I have learnt so much. I wanted to ask you if we can use Gelatin instead of Agar Agar powder and keep the proportions and the recipe exactly the same? Or, only Agar Agar can actually react with the yeast and not the Gelatin? Thank you brother.
Actually, using gelatin will not produce good results. This is because the jelly made using gelatin melts at outside / room temperature (25°C-40°C). Gelatin works well in cold environments (
You can also watch my other DIY CO2 video using Jelly Crystals.
Thanks, I'll check it out.
Hey, I live in Canada and it's much harder to find Agar Agar powder here and it's way more expensive than Gelatin powder. I do have fairly cooler temperatures in my house (well below 25°C). Can I go ahead and use the same measurements and the recipe as with Agar Agar powder? Thank you! 🙏🏽
Ok, then proceed with the unflavoured gelatin. And if you want to use gelatin-based jelly crystals powder (e.g. Jell-O), please follow my other DIY CO2 video.
Sir thank you for sharing the knowledge we will keep supporting your channel.
Sir but my jelly is converted to liquid in first week but it is providing enough CO2 .
Did you use agar agar, or gelatin? Also, check the Description for more information.
Indian is the most genius race in asia.. too many invention come from them.. tq bro for your inspiration..
Thank you 🙏
🙏 धन्यवाद
You’re welcome 😊
Another interesting video. 2nd Comment ! XD
Thanks again!
Great... from where I can get check valve..plz
Please see the video description for the product link
Very nice and beautiful...but agar agar powder kothai pabo r cheak valve
Thank you. Apni ei video-r description section e dekhun products er links deoa ache, okhan theke kinte paren.
One thing I noticed, in my experiences, is hot glue can sometimes fall apart when exposed to humidity for prolonged amounts of time, such as a DIY CO2 system… just saying. It may work for some people, and it is very useful for many things, but when water is involved it can become disintegrated or corroded, possibly causing a leak in the system. But I would just stick with the waterproof silicone to avoid that. 😀
Great tip!
Thanks for this great info. My ramirezi try to eat the bubbles of CO2 from the difusser, is not harmful to the fish? 👍
No, it’s not harmful at all. Fish sometimes play with the bubbles, they do the same in my aquarium also.
Really precise and clear video. I am right now cooling that hot sugar syrup and underestimated the time. I hope this works. Any idea if the typical diffuser can be used or i need a good airstone ?
You can see the video description for more information and also watch my DIY CO2 diffuser video. Thank you 😊
Yes, my diffuser is working fine... I saw your diy diffusers and that's what I will do for my next tank. THANK YOU again.....
👍
Please clarify, what you mean "change the yeast water every week". Should i just put water and yeast mixture? Or sugar,water and yeast mixture? Please help.
Agar agar ki jagah me jelly crystal mix use kar sta hu?
Haan
Please do a video of diy liquid co2
Ok 👍
danke
How much time to generate the co2 gas in the bottle ?
Agar Agar Powder or Jelly crystal ma sa konsa acha hai
Dono method hi achcha hai. Jelly crystals method thora sasta hai.
Hi Kaushik, Thank you for sharing such great videos. I made a CO2 reactor using the yeast and sugar method but whenever I try to bring the water pipe to the bottom of the tank the bubbles stop and CO2 stops. Also, the pressure is too less. Please help
You can use 1/2 teaspoon yeast instead of 1/4 teaspoon to produce more CO2 and increase pressure. Also, place the diffuser in a specific place inside the tank. When enough pressure is created, it will work perfectly. Also check the description box for more information. Thanks.
Thank You very much for this Video..
I have one question. how much time we need to run this co2 in 20 Gallon Aquarium with full plants ?
If I run CO2 for 12 hours will my fish die ?
CO2 must be supplied as long as the light is on. Even if you run this DIY CO2 24/7 there will be no problem. Just run an air pump at night to keep the oxygen level in the aquarium water high.
Can you make liquid carbon?
Will try…
i wonder i didnt find this channel earlier.
Thanks 👍
Create a video of RO SV for CO2 automation please
Ok, I will try
