I just set up a 2L DIY CO2 for my 29 gallon, medium planted, 65W PC tank.
The mixture I used was 2 cups of sugar, 1/2 tsp of yeast, and 1 tsp of baking soda.
The bubble rate is 67 bpm(bubbles per minute) and the output is connected to the intake of my AC50 filter.
The problem is that my drop checker is still blue after 5+ hours, meaning I don't have optimum co2 levels. Using the pH/kH relationship of my tank water (7.0 pH and 4 dkH), I have about 12 ppm.
How can I improve my co2 levels without adding another bottle?
