This is an old aquarium trick 😉 SUPER effective to fight algae and promote plants growth . very well done tutorial, plus the cost is basically nothing. And I repeat is SUPER EFFECTIVE💪
Thank you so much 👍
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.
This channel is most underrated with less views i don't know why, the contents in the video is very easy to follow with good technicals, for aquarium hobbyist DIY enthusiast your channel is providing great knowledge good luck wish ur channel grow
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.
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!
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 👍
Your solid. On point. No babble. Best diy I've seen yet.
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?
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.
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.
this video is brilliant. if only there was a way of fitting a solenoid and timer it would be perfect for me, but I can't be there daily to manually turn it on and off
This is best DIY aquarium channel ever i seen ❤️❤️, Please sir make sure to display your aqua scaping with fully grown plants in thumbnail then the view automatically attracted. And always show your all decoration in video as example.❤❤
Ok, thank you
Informative, concise and comprehensive. Thanks for this information without any irrelevant "filler" content. I'm off to do come DIY C02 😎
Thanks 😊
I love the DIY hacks that this channel has! They are simple but effective. I wish you the best!
Thank you
I have done DIY Co2 a lot of times before but stopped using them for no reason. I'm planning on doing it again soon. I already knew what I needed to do but this video is really informative. It showed you pretty much everything you need. Kudos to this Channel.
Thank you 😊
Such a brilliant guy is he
Super- i just bought planted aquarium and was worried how to provide co2 for plants- u really solved this issue..
Definitely gonna give try..
thanku thanku sooo much
Really brilliant idea👏👏👏👏👏👍
So nice of you
Awesome bro, I did it and within minutes after I setup the diy, I got the co2 bubbles. Now I need to check how long it produces co2
Very useful and effective video. I am just going to follow your process blindly. Thanks a lot Kaushik. Keep it up. God bless you 🙏
Thanks a lot
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!

tthank you my freind for your sharing idea's watching from PHILLIPINES🇵🇭
You’re welcome
Owemjiii. Whyyyy i just found daaa maaaan !! 😭 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 ive made this co2 system today, no bubbles yet but they will show tomorrow, i guess. This is a great channel for diy guys like me :D THANKS
You’re welcome
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!
Simply the best video.
Channel ho toh esa..straight to the point.
Thanks
Man you are awesome. Simple and straightforward. Just subscribed :)
Thanks and welcome
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...
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
Thank you for the information. I am going to adapt this to a grow-tent.
Best of luck!
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.
Great Video thanks 🙏🏻 I've one question,
What did you put in the Arga powder?
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 😊
Where i get the check valve? And whats the name and price? Pls tell me. Sir
It’s reality a fantastic idea
But one question is there
When we don’t need co2 supply,we have to disconnect the pipe- thats ok
But how to stop the process of co2 building up in that bottle- wont it burst if its not released..
Please see description
bro, your content is top tier!
Glad you think so!
I like how you enlightened us of how this DIY CO2 Generator can supply the needed CO2 for the planted aquarium tanks. It is also easy to follow for those who don't even know how to take care of their aquatic plants. thank you and Keep it Up!!!
Thank you
Thank you bro, it's a great video. explained very well
Glad you liked it
We can just keep refilling the bottle with yeast water at the top? When will we need to replace the bottom agar agar jelly layer?
Indians make best diy videos
Dear can i use stone instead of a diffuser?
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.
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.
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.
We can keep check valve or air controller
Helloowwww ..... feelinn blessed that i found this videoo but i have a doubt ,here the co2 will runn 24 7 with continuous flow .If i have to stop the cot flow then what m i supposed to do???
if we removed the tube from check valve the coz will get waste right???
You can keep it running 24/7 and run an air stone at night to keep the oxygen level in the aquarium water high. Also check description for more information. Thanks.
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.
Great Diy. Can we use normal gelatin instead of agar agar? I want to do this today and my local shop doesn't have agar agar.
Actually jelly made using gelatin melts at outside / room temperature (25°C-40°C). Gelatin works well in cold environments (
@@madebykm Thanks. I managed agar agar...diy working in 6 hours.
👍
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.
Thank you so much sir. It's working good. can you please tell me how to stop CO2 because I have to provide morning 4 hrs and in evening 4 hrs. I saw in your video to diffuse the CO2 need remove the air pipe from check valve outlet. But evn after removing the pipe CO2 ist still generating the bubbles. Can you please help me in this
The CO2 production cannot be stopped in this method. You can just stop the CO2 supply to the tank by disconnecting the CO2 tubing from the check valve. See the description for more information.
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.
Inspired Sir, only one quarry, If I detach the tubing of the co2 generator from the check valve then co2 gas will filled up at home, is this correct?
No problem, our atmosphere contains much more CO2 than that.
The amount of CO2 produced here is very small and it is nothing compared to the amount of CO2 present in our environment.
so gooooooooooooooood my friends😘, very thanks
Thank you too
Hello Kausik, today i have successfully created the diy co2 system including diy co2 diffuser by taking the help from your video, but one thing i need to know that, how many hours i need to turn my CO2 on, i use to turn my lights on for 8 hours, can you help me on this, thanks in advance.
You can either detach the CO2 tubing when the lights are OFF or keep the CO2 system running 24/7 and run an air-stone at night or when the lights are OFF to keep the oxygen level high in the aquarium water.
@@madebykm okay, actually i do have fishes inside of my aquarium, i use to run a small sponge filter 24×7 with very litter flow speed, so in that case do i need to off that sponge filter while i am running the co2 or i can run both of them 24×7??
You can run both 24/7, but reduce the flow of the sponge filter when the lights are on, and increase the flow when the lights are off.
Good morning, Many many thanks kaushik, i wish all the very best for you..and continue your good work, your channel is really very very helpful to us..thanks again.
Thank you 😊
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.
sir I'm using this method and measure each and every thing accurate but I don't know why but my liquid mixture can't turn into gelly I'm also put it into refrigerator please respond sir 😢
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 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❤
i wonder i didnt find this channel earlier.
Thanks 👍
Hi, I am new to this channel and recently saw this video. Very informative. You mentioned disconnecting when CO2 is not needed. Won't that leak the CO2 which is generated.
CO2 will be continuously produced in the bottle, so there will be no problem. Another option is to use an air stone at night to keep the oxygen level in the aquarium water high. Thanks.
@@madebykmis there any specific use of the check valve. I have a normal flow controller, can i use that
The check valve will prevent the backflow of water from the aquarium into the bottle.
Thanks for confirming 😊. Will post results once setup is complete.
Success!!! Thanks Kaushik for this amazing DIY . I used a cigarette filter as a diffuser.
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.
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?
You are the best.. love from kerala
Thank you 🙏
well explained.. Thanks bro
Welcome 👍
what is the use of the second bottle?
Bro do review of product available in market for aquascaping and stuff . Would love your insights and find cheap method to have a fun hobby
I will try my best 🙂
Great tutorial! I have a question and would be appreciated if you help. I made this system and it was working fine for 3 days with a DIY diffusor but then I bought a glass CO2 diffuser from the market. I detached the tubing from the DIY diffuser and CO2 gas leaked from the system as it should be and I attached the tubing to the new CO2 diffuser. It has been 16 hours now, I still see the bubbles in the second bottle (1 bubble in 5 seconds) but no CO2 coming out from the diffuser. Should I wait more?
These ceramic diffusers take some time to work, when enough pressure is created in the bottle, bubbles will come out of it. Also, check for leaks in the CO2 system, if there are any leaks, no pressure will be created and the diffuser will not work.
Also, if you use 1/2 teaspoon of yeast, CO2 production will increase and glass diffuser will work better. Please see the video description for more information. Thank you.
Hello Sir, Have a question hope u answer it, Do i have to add sugar again in yeast water when i change it or make it only with yeast ??
You'll need to add a bit of sugar to the solution to activate the yeast.
Very clear and well presented. Thank you!
Thank you
Nice info brother👌👌👌👌
😱 this is amazing!!!!! Thankyou so much
Sir , can you tell me that when I will change the jelly product from bottle after first time ? And , any type of agar powder works well ?
1. Every month, 2. Yes
Your chanel is very good for us. I wish you from the bottom of my heart...❤️❤️👍
Thank you 🙏
How much time to generate the co2 gas in the bottle ?
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.
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.
Thanks for the great video! I have a quick question, how do you prepare a new bottle when it's time to swap? Cause new bottle will need time to build up pressure too right? I'm worried about CO2 fluctuations here. Thanks again!
I always prepare the yeast-sugar solution at night, thus allowing sufficient time for the CO2 to be produced, and by the time the lights are on in the morning, the plants get the desired level of CO2. Thank you.
And I make a new bottle of jelly a day or two ahead of time, store it in the fridge, and use it when I need it.
@@madebykm Thanks you for taking your time to reply. That's good to know. I also have one more question, you said that we should change the yeast water (top part) every week for stability, my understanding is you keep the old jelly water part right? So how long do you keep that jelly part before you change them too? Many thanks!
I change the jelly every 30 days. Thank you.
@@madebykmHey just a quick update. I followed your ratio for the mix but I use a 2L Coke bottle so the mix doesn't fill up to even half way of the bottle. Do you think it will affect the pressure cause it has too much room left to build up pressure. I've been waiting for 12hrs yet I only see slow single bubble running out to second bottle. Second thing is my tubing run to CO2 diffuser is a bit long, should I try to move it closer like yours? Sorry for too many questions, appreciate your help man!
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.
Good video, thank you
Glad you liked it!
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.
Can you use the same amount of gelatin powder instead of the agar agar?
Hello sir,😊
I have seen your both co2 videos..
Which one is better agar agar powder method or jelly mix method ?
Both will work fine, but jelly mix method is a bit cheaper.
@@madebykm ok sir.
Thankyou.
can i keep the co2 diffuser out of the aquarium up and running (at night instead of disconnecting) when not in use?
Yes, you can put that diffuser in a glass of water.
@@madebykm thanks for your prompt reply. will do this whenever it is not in use because if i disconnect the pipe on night, then the next day it takes around 2-3 hours to build the pressure. so I think putting the diffuser in glass of water will help because next day it wont have to build the pressure. again thanks for the suggestion. you are a life savour as always
Thankyou for sharing this im making this today.
👍
Good work up 👍
Thanks ✌️
Thank you sir make video on DIY Light for Planted Aquarium
Sure 👍
How much time it will take to cool the mixture of sugar & Agar powder? Mime is not cooling since last 24 hrs
I think you didn't make properlu
For how many days we can use it? When to change it?
The jelly should be replaced every 30 days.
Dear Kaushik by resuming CO2 inserting tube in check valve does it take intial few hours time to give bubbles or do we have to shake the bottle?
It takes a few minutes to build up the pressure again.
@@madebykm Thanks ji
