Re: CO2 levels from Yeast Method CO2

["Phil Bixby" <constructive at mcmail_com>]

Hi folks

I have a similar setup - 25g tank with a diffuser supplying CO2 from a 2ltr
yeast/sugar bottle.

I've checked CO2 levels using ph/kH and the tables from the Krib and reckon
I get 20-25ppm CO2, which I've heard others report under similar
circumstances. The yeast lasts about three weeks. Plant growth, with 3W/gal,
is fine.

I wonder if there's a problem with your CO2 test method?

using individual 2 L. Yeast Reactors for CO2 supplementation. Since adding
the Yeast Reactors, the CO2 levels in each tank has shot up to anywhere
between 45-56 ppm CO2.

strain of "super yeast"?
