so i went through the painstaking process of converting my 40g biotope into a nasty geophagus planted tank. i have 4in on aquasoil in it and its pretty heavily planted right now. i made a HUGEEEEE co2 injection system using a 5 gallon jug, regulators, bubblecounter, check valve, t valves, 2 nano diffusers

recipe for my reaction system
25LBS sugar
22 Teaspoons dry activated yeast
4 gallons water

this thing is a BEASTTTTT. EASILY puts out as much as a pressurized....its nasty

i will post pics when i get home from UH
