Re: [APD] Algae blume due to CO2 DIY Yeast?

[Vaughn Hopkins <hoppy1 at surewest_net>]

Hi Nick,
I ran a 120 gallon tank with a DIY CO2 bottle for about 3 years, using 
a Fluval 304 filter.  I don't remember ever having this problem.  My 
CO2 bottle was a 3 liter size, with 3 cups of sugar and 3/8 teaspoon of 
baking yeast.
