Developing island

Long time never update the log, here is the latest so called aquascape. 

Christmas moss + java moss seems like mixed well together.

Left a little riccia, it will be hard to revive since I'm running low tech low light.

Some of styrogene trying to grow in sand.

Flame moss is growing slowly, windelow fern seems to be duplicating nicely.

Somehow the water is yellowish due to using cheap wood.

Enjoy!

My DIY Co2 Reactor

Using 80 sen small bottle. I create this reactor.

Normally how many Co2 melt in the water, how many escapes to surface?
well i believe more than 80% wasted... your sugar and yeast also wasted.. sohai betul right?

Now, The concept is trapping CO2 bubble inside bottle and using water flow to shoot directly inside that bottle to create Turbulence. the excess water mixed with co2 will forced out through sponge below the bottle. Co2 gas remain inside bottle because it cannot pass through the sponge...

Unexpected benefit is, the co2 bubble inside the bottle getting more and more, thus the excess co2 bubble has no enough time to mix with water will also forced out through sponge below in the form of very fine... tiny bubbles... better than ceramic diffuser...

Plant start pearl after 15 min install of this reactor..

After 2 hour... never pearl like this b4... really amazing.. AA Gun Warzone....
