Check out this video at around time 2:27. Will your yeast bottles produce that much CO2 ? ... relax. no way to intoxicate your fish.

There is no way you are going to cause any problems in a tank that size with DIY CO2. Unless you dump the bottles into the tank. So don't.

Aquascape? I'm a crypt farmer.

If you've got bait, I've got wasabi!

I wish I could be like Mr. Sarcastic when I grow up! ;)

The Japanese in my signature says Shi-ta-ku-sa, I hyphenate to show the syllables and because our forum word filter messes with the first four letters. It means the small accessory plants used in bonsai pots to highlight the bonsai tree. Ghaz and I have been invited at least once to go to ADA Japan, but others who have posted on this forum have actually been there.
