- This is by far the best and easiest DIY CO2 that anyone can make. I call it the one bottle method and the only ingredients you’ll need is sugar and yeast.
Christel Kasselmann’s slightly more advanced method that I also like: pCVNW1mfIQ...

In my opinion, this is the best and easiest DIY Co2 method for planted aquariums!!
I literally was just going to search for easy DIY Co2... and BAM! There you are! Thanks a bunch! Also I'd love to see a video on some local fish around your country you love that are not very easily exported... and then some fish you prob would never get your hands on in your area that you would love to keep?
Hello, one question, what proportion of RGB and kelvin you recomended for light vivid2 thanks
I agree, I would of added a 2nd bottle as a scrubber for the foam , but I really like how your video is to the point, cheap and my favorite word Efficient , this video and all of your set ups got me to sub. I'm looking forward to more videos from you. (BTW the piano hinge on your lid made me pause the video and take a closer look, I love it as a small flap to access the tank as I also use that type of polycarb/plastic for lids, sweet idea! )
Question, is there such things as CO2 overdose to plants?
Question: is it safe for the fish? Without a limiter for the CO2?
For those of you wondering, took me a while to find what it was called. That nice bottle cap is called a brine shrimp cap. Great work ryo! My wife and I love your videos
You literally saved my life. I was spending the whole time looking for it on ebay and amazon while playing the video background, and regret didnt scroll down here before doing that.
thanks so much!
Thanks!
I purchased a IV bottle of water and an IV setup. You don't need any kind of license or anything to buy these. Yea I was a medic in a previous life (not literally if you believe in past lives, just a long time ago). That gives you the bottle with a cap that has a rubberized center that you can puncture with the spike from the IV setup. The IV line is not big enough so you will just cut the rest off and put a regular air line on. Cut the IV line about 2 inches from the spiked part and slide the airline over what is left of the original tubing. I made the mistake of not leaving enough of the original line because I just pulled on it thinking it would pop of like air line. It doesn't just cut it. You might also try heating the area here the lines overlap a bit because I think that would make them shrink down a little and seal. I also advise to just reuse the original hole from the spike over and not puncture it again because I think it leaks because of the pressure inside the bottle. I think it leaked through that hole the last time I pulled the spike out to refill the kit. But the hole is easy to see and re-spike in the same spot. Also the bottle is much thicker and studier than the drink bottle.
I've sometimes wanted some Co2 for a couple of weeks just to get new setups started easier, but I didn't want to invest in all of the equipment just for a temporary jumpstart. This seems like a great affordable solution. Thanks for this video!
Yes, it sure is a great solution!
Definitely a great affordable option. I used to do this method as well. Am going to do it again soon!
Oh my gosh such great ideas Ryo! Love the rolling plastic garbage can idea for water changing! So much easier than lugging the 5g Home Depot bucket from my fish room to outside as I was doing!! Love the little varnished table top too! Am sure you’ll find that very handy & useful! 👍🏻
Another way to prevent the foaming is perhaps to first dissolve the sugar in hot water on the stove and add gelatine. Let that mixture cool but put it into the bottle before the gelatine completely sets. The yeast will need more time to eat all the sugar and one bottle might last longer this way.
DIY co2 is a really great option in my opinion. I think adding a second bottle would be better to act as a diy bubble counter and to clean the particles so it wouldn't get into your tank.
You just made the difference between me getting plastic plants and growing live ones. Thank you!
Salute from Harlem,NYC. New subscriber here , I can only give my views and likes to genuine, humble, and humorous peeps
This will be a great help for me coz I'm planning to add co2 in my new setup. This vid is very informative and fun!❤️
Definitely going to try this idea. I think this could really help Jumpstart a new planted tank.
Man, I love your garden. I love that look, beautiful!
Very good. I may give this a try. And the improvements to your fish room are wonderful!
Also, your backyard garden looks beautiful!
Good going ! This is exactly how I set my diy co2 😅 - no check value , no second bottle to ‘clean’ the co2 . Someday , I am going to pay for my laziness 😄
Thanks Ryo! I'm going to try this out.
Always a pleasure watching your vids Ryo
Thank you Pete!
I used basically the same method years ago. I did a 2 liter bottle, basic tubing, and an air stone. Same mixture. This time I want to do a diffuser with diy co2 in the tank I setup recently.
Hey Ryo, great video as always!
I'd suggest you to add gelatin to sugar and water solution and put it in the fridge for a couple of hours. And then add east in water with small addition of sugar in it. That way your setup will last much longer before you need to restart it. :)
Really nice the trolley for the bucket! 100%!
Have one of the ready made Japanese yeast bottle C02 kits and it's great! Buce and crypts haven't die yet anyway! It seems a bit more subtle than other C02 methods though.
I'll give your method a shot for sure!
You can use a check valve/one way valve so that the foamy bubbles wouldn't came out on your tank..
A fish room tour would be nice. I’m looking forward to seeing the room finished.
Thanks for the video, it was very creative! 🥳 Goodluck for the competition and hi from Australia 👋😇
Thank you 🙏
Thankyouu very much, u r very creative, i will try it ❤❤❤
Wow I love your garden 😊
I'm going to give this easy lazy Co2 method a go, I will buy the stuff tomorrow. I wish you weren't so far away I have lots of plecos big enough and ready to rehome, and I know you'd love them and take good care of them!
Love the vid, I have a quick question tho, I used a 2 liter bottle with a two way airline separator with an airstone on both ends so I could supply two tanks at once, it's been one hour and no bubble count action yet! How long does it typically take to get started on average? And should I break it down and just use the one airline to like you did instead??? Thanks In advance! 🙏💯🔱
Love you videos very informative hope to travel back to Japan soon to check out some aquarium stores
Thanks for showing us your method! I noticed you don't use drop checkers on your tanks, is that because you use the bubble counters? Also, I vote yes for a low tech betta tank and a dutch style tank! 😊
This one can apply to reef tank? If i have problem with ph?
Hey is it possible to replace the yeast with baking soda?
Does the bottle have to be on the same level as the tank?
Pretty cool man , hope your room is doing well and yourself, peace from Mike in Welland Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
Nice video :) .I like the method from MJ aquatics
Wow! I love your idea. Thank you so much for sharing this! One question, do you know or have a video on how to use multiple tanks for one canister filter? I was thinking of using a 107 fluval and just two tanks. I'm trying to be conventional but I haven't had any new ideas.
hi , is this co2 DIY will make 1 liter of co2 per day ? thank you for answering
tried but mayb takes awhile for the other half empty (1.5 litre bottle) to fill up .only emits CO2 when i shake the bottle will buying a bubble counter and difusser help?
Love your Kamp Kenan shirt!
How do I tern it off during the night because I heard your ment to, I do not have a valve should I just pinch it closed with something but then I am worried it will explode.
Its looking great!! Can u send me the link for the cap of the bottle?
And hope it will be the dutch style because i am Dutch 🙏
Keep up the good work
Thanks for the DIY Co2, I've used it in the past but...hairgrass emergency 😂 The fishroom looks great!
7-11s in Japan are awesome. You’re so lucky.
Dude! I love you!
You should definitely use check valve for diy co2
since this is going to run 24/7 and that the flow can't be controlled, is it safe for the fishes at night when the light is off? i am using a small tank (30x25x25)
2 роки минуло, але відео актуальне досі. Дякую. Спробую для свого 10 л акваріуму :)
Минув день і я це зробив. Задоволений дуже. На ніч перекриваю, ще нічого не вибухнуло. Дуже круто вийшло. Зробив відео коротке. Кому буде цікаво залітайте. Це не реклама, все роблю виключно для себе.
Is this method risking my fish Comunnity? How many hours should it work for a day?
Very nice i recently got into bonsai trees a shelf of nice bonsai instead of the magazines would look epic .
there isn't any sunlight in that area so I don't think they would thrive. I'd probably also prefer to keep bonsai outdoors
Hello, also try adding gelatin powder.. your mixture will last for about a week.
Im making with jelly powder , its work, nd i love it
you dont have any valve, does that mean you dont turn your co2 off?
Is there any chance of burst??
Can you put the bottle lower than the aquarium ?
Finally how many days that CO2 bottle lasted? Please share it. I want to make it for my planted aquarium
hello brotherrr, you have to make 2 bottles of it, the one is purposed for cleaning so the foam not coming out from diffuser
Can i used brown sugar
Pretty cool
Is this room only for your aquariums? 😊
How to add oil in the bottle?
How many gallons is this iwagumi tank?
Love from Bangladesh 😍😍
I want this video part 2 with add oil than i make it for seeing your video
BTW, Coke bottles already have CO2 in them. Carbonated drinks' tangy/ acidic taste is due to carbonic acid (H_2CO_3). This acid breaks into water (H_2O) and carbon dioxide (CO_2). A suitable method would have been to add the yeast to the Coke bottle, as it already contains about 240g of sugar.
Really interested to try this. Might give it a shot in a spare tank.
Wow amazing idol.
your diy co2 was simple and easy to fixed and made...
Never thought about doing this! Genius brother!!
Is it safe for the fish?
Hi how come my CO2 stop after 2-3 days? I add 200g sugar and 4g yeast to 1000ml water in 1500ml bottle
Where do you get the CO2? Where do you fill it at? Where do I get the CO2 tank?
THATS EPIC!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
you got an update on this tank?
Hi Ryo
Your videos are great. You inspired me to try diy co2
But i have a question.
What do you do at night with the co2? Is two much bad for fish?
For me i jst disconnected the supply..
IM trying a dry start and doing this once its set! :)
Nice setup and good luck for the competition. 🤜🤛🤘
Thank you 🙏
Woun't the oil get into the aquarium?
my question is.. how long does it last?
Great DIY Ryo! Do you have an update on how the system is doing now?
Yup, I temporarily stopped using this as for me, it’s too troublesome to keep refilling. It lasted 1 full month though
Is it safe for fish?
Slowly but surely👍
Ii s dry ice cheaper, easier?
Thanks from nz
I just set up my own DIY CO2. It’s really easy to do. I used an air stone but the bubbles are too big, so a diffuser is a better way to go.
Hey Ryo! Everything is looking great! I was wondering, I remember when you added a drain outside of your studio room and ran it around the house to the drain outside. Then you just drained straight into from your tank. Is that an option in your fish room, instead of using the large container and trolly you built? Just wondering. Have a great day!
Yeah, I have a drain system in the fish room too. I use both the drain and the container depending on the tank I clean
@@RyoWatanabee cool. I really liked that idea of the drain system outside. Just gotta talk the wife into letting me do it. Lol
@@RyoWatanabee Can u do a tutorial how to do the drainage system..
you didnt add non return check valve too..
It's kind of essential to be able to control the amount on CO2 you're putting in the tank since most of us also have fish or invertebrates there that need to breath O2...
I use also second bottle only with whater
Hi. Is it possible for the brine shrimp cap (the cap that you used) to leak? I followed your instructions but even after 24 hours, it's still not working yet. I can't figure out what possibly went wrong.
Yeast could be dead
Have you tried adding gelatine to the mix? Mark-Jan from MJ Aquascaping suggests adding it to the mix to make the mixture last longer, but I wonder if there's a difference to a shorter lasting system, or a gelatine system, in terms of CO2 released, and plant growth. Haven't tried either method myself, but I probably will soon... :)
Also, there's this Söchting Oxydator to provide oxygen to the tank using hydrogen-peroxide, is this different from a CO2 system? They are a pretty cheap option otherwise...
If you're going to use the gelatine method, always check that the hardened gelatine stays put at the bottom and doesn't float in the following days. If it does float, it could create a gas pocket/cavity at the bottom of the bottle and could cause the bottle to explode.
May I ask, how do you get rid of ethanol released with the co2?.. and can you make a video of 1 month update on this tank?
I've done a few updates on this tank in already. Tomorrows video will also have an update of this tank.
Will this carryover the ethanol fumes to aquarium along with CO2 ?
No
As said by Ryo, 2 bottle setups are better than this one setup. Now sugar and yeast will be introduced into your aquarium... Depending on the yeast if I remember chemical study correctly alcohol can be created.... Fish and plant life don't like alcohol to live in I guess....
The second bottle will act as a filter for the cow system so only clean co2 will enter your aquarium.
I saw red aquarium plant beside the diy co2 tank. What is the name of the red plant ?
Rotala Macrandra
Does it matter if you use instant dry yeast or active dry yeast?
Sorry I’m not too sure about that and what the differences are. Maybe you could try it out. Just note, it can take up to a day or longer for co2 to start coming out depending on temp and how much you shake the bottle
i like your shoes. what brand are they?
To prevent foam going into aquarium, you need an extra 0.5L bottle filled with half of water connected to the big bottle.
How long did you have to wait before bubbles start to come out of the diffuser?
Mine took about one hour
great stuff brother. rookie mistake not putting the 2nd bottle on to act as a "washing filter". come on bra, ya got this. no skipping steps. even the simple ones.
oh and btw, try adding gelatin to your sugar mix to act as a reactive "base" to make the yeast live longer, thus giving you a longer reaction period. Some say almost 6 months if you can get the mix ratios correct.
Do you just run the first bottle through another bottle filled with water and then into the tank??? And say for this particular 1 liter reactor how much gelatin would you add???
I'm also curious about the questions asked
man im spend 140.00 for neo co2 my mistake level and warm at the eng nothing wan refill back cost 80.00 and im throw away went i know you method is work and super cheap..
Cool.
Why not a bigger, sturdy container for multiple tanks? Less maintenance is always a plus.
With your system you have more co2 on starting and after minus minus........
Serioustly...
Used with gel
