To those people who are using Up New Atomizer system (D-508 series) or similar, pic below, do take note on the CO2 safety nuts. It is quite weak, I have 3 atomizer and all of them are broken as seen in the picture below. You can clearly see the top part is broke.

I do see the nuts for newer mode D-519 series, the top part, have thicker plastic construction. Unfortunately I cannot use it on D-508 series due to different diameter.

I email up-aqua support about my problem and they going to send me replacement nuts. Thank you for the great support.

diy aquaponics tower | DIY CO2

13.18 in amano, Aquaponics, aquarium, by, co2, diy, in, lecture, malaysia, planted

diy aquaponics tower

I decided to use DIY CO2 for this setup to speed up my plants growth. Both non CO2 and daily Excel dosing does not give enough grow rate.

My DIY CO2 setup is pretty simple:
- 2 bottles of 1.5L soft drink (empty)
- 2 bubble counter
- 2 check valve
- Airstone
- CO2 hose

I did not use diffuser since it may not generate enough pressure to push CO2 through but I put airstone under filter inlets. That way most of the CO2 will be suck in by filter but it may cause airlock in some filter if lots of CO2 is created. Buble counter function as an indicator which bottle need to change. The check valve is to prevent CO2 from leaking out when one of the bottle being replace. I did not premix the solution together at the same time.


Simple sketch


Ive been researching through out the net about DIY CO2 recipe and found that wine yeast suppose to be used instead of normal bread yeast. Apparently alcohol is toxic to yeast and alcohol is by product when yeast consume Glucose to generate energy in Anaerobic condition. Wine yeast on the other hand can tolerate highest level of alcohol and acidity. Thus in theory wine yeast will give you longer CO2 generator


Aerobic condition:

Glucose + O2 --> CO2 + H2O + Energy

Anaerobic condition:

Glucose --> CO2 + Alcohol + Energy

Searching around for wine yeast and found out that it cost 10 times more than normal yeast from supermarket. So forget about the idea of using wine yeast and use instant yeast instead (Saccharomyces Cerevisiae) from Bake King

My recipe:

- 2 cup of sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon of yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
- 1000 ml of water

Honestly it really not bad. I was haunted by post on forums, people was saying that DIY CO2 have unstable output. On contrary, I was able to get good stable output at least 0.5 bps for a month.


Update (12 October 2011)
BPS output from 1 bottle through out 37 days.

diy aquaponics aquarium | Boyu CD 01 inline CO2 diffuser

14.22 in 01, 2009, ada, aq, Aquaponics, aquascaping, boyu, cd, co2, contest, diffuser, inline

diy aquaponics aquarium

I just bought Boyu inline CO2 diffuser. It can be use inside and outside tank. Just take out the strainer if you want to use it outside the tank. I heard it is very efficient and maintenance free. Not sure how true it is. My guess is brown algae probably will grow inside after a while.

I bought 2 of them from ebay, since none of the local fish shop carry this product. They do have similar product from ISTA but very expensive $27. It cost me S$8.60 for 2 but the delivery charges is S$11.90 which is more expensive than the product. The stamp duty on the mail is only HK$19.1 or S$3.75. Nevertheless, it is still cheaper than ISTA.

I like this product. For starter, it does not reduce the filter flow. Furthermore, I not need to worry about green spot algae. Probably because it is inside cabinet thus no light. However, after a while I can see some brown thing build up (diatome?). It is the same build up that normally hapen inside filter hose. Nothing to be worry about just use brush and clean it during regular filter maintenace. It is much easier to clean compare to green spot algae.

Aquarama 2009 has ended today. It was held at Suntec Singapore from 28 to 31 May 2009. I didnt take any event photo but you can take a look other people photos at Aquatic Quotient.

I did join the plated tank competition with William and we actually won the first price. The competition requires us to scape the tank on the spot. They give us 2 days to do the job. The most difficult part is when we need to carry all the hardscape to convention hall. Imagine carrying 70kg of lapis sand and rocks which is about the same total weight as lapis sand. Of course we did not carry it in one time. Forgot to mention that all this thanks to Benny (Aquatic Quotien Admin) that sponsoring us at the same time convince the organizer for late entry. Honestly when we aware of this competition, the entry was already closed.

One thing for sure the organizer doesn’t really know about planted tank. For example the tank was filled with water when we arrive. We end up have to use pail to throw the water away before we can start scaping. They also provide us wrong info on the tank size. Initial info was 100x50x50cm but endup 88(L)x45(W)x61(H)cm. They provide us with only 2x36W PL light which kind of too low for tank this size, not to mention 2ft height. They also provide us with CO2 which kind of contradict the light wattage. No solenoid for the CO2. No timer for the light, thus light have to turn ON 24 hours for 1 week. At the end of exibishion, the plant condition is really bad, leaves are start rotting everywhere.

Me and william with big tropy but we cant keep it though. It is only for publication (photo taken by StanChung)

This is the small tropy that we can take home (photo taken by StanChung)

Detail of the tropy:

diy aquaponics sand filter | How much CO2 Amano put in his tank

diy aquaponics sand filter

I just happen to watch ADA view #86 (http://www.adana.co.jp/en/sc/news/detail/414) and saw that the bubble counter is clearly exposed (circled in red). So I just wondering how many bps of CO2 injected to this 60cm tank. Note that bps is not accurate, different brand of bubble counter give different bps for the same amount of CO2. But never mind, out of curiosity I count how many bps from the video and suprise-suprise its 3 bps same as mine. Many people in the forum was surprise when I told them I inject 3 bps on my 2ft tank.

I also try to count the bps for 90cm tank from ADA view #85 (http://www.adana.co.jp/jp/sc/news/detail/412) but it was too fast, difficult to count from the video. However. based from my visit to Niigata on 2009, it was about 7 or 8bps. It is difficult to count once it is over 5bps.
