Some of your diy co2 mixture probably travelled up your airline into your tank. Do a water change and put another empty bottle in series with the diy mixture before the tank.

ya, what you do is get a smaller bottle, fill it with water, that way your diy is hooked into that smaller bottle, then onto ur main tank... don't forget to use  one way direction valve thingy, can't remember what its call atm...

Dont fill it with water, it has to be empty.

I always filled the second bottle partially with water to act as a bubble counter.

theres no rules that says it has to be empty, its better if its filled at less half way, it acts like bubble counter, + it collects all the dirty stuff from diy co2

Re: DIY Yeast CO2... Cloudy Water

Can I get more info on the bubble counter... How many bubbles am I suppose to get. Im assuming its some count per minute per gallon of tank. Whats optimal
