Couple of things to note. Firstly with regards to a DIY catalyst a small piece of pure silver will work. Secondly, the clay or ceramic pot on the end is non ordinary clay ceramic it is impregnated with silver which breaks the peroxide existing the Oxydator into water and super O2.
Has anybody ever tested one of those ? How effective are they? Are we talking minuscule, or dramatic difference? I'm just curious if anyone has come across any good information on them weather it's positive or negative
Great DIY tip Mark. the catalyst contains a bid of silver that is decomposing hydrogen peroxide inside into oxygen and water building up pressure inside the container en pushing a bid of hydrogen peroxide into the water so don't forget to make a small hole in the cap and when bubbles stop coming out there is only water left inside or very diluted hydrogen peroxide. Tip if you buy the original hydrogen peroxide there is also 12% and higher for almost the same price, you can add Demineralized water to it to make 2 liter..
I wonder if it'd be possible to cut a piece of the catalytic part of one of those disposable cases for peroxide based contact lens cleaning solutions instead of buying a catalyst.
Hi Mark, brilliant idea! Thanks! But can i use 3% Hydrogen Peroxide instead of 6%? Do i need to use bigger bottle and bigger (or 2 small pieces) catalyst for a bigger aquarium or how does it work?
I've always wanted to buy one of the oxidator every time I see one on the online shops I always temp to buy it but the price for them are to high cost for me to justify myself buying few(x3) for my nano tanks. All the DiYs on utube estheticly awful. if u could would be grate if u could show on the posting the composition of the oxidator put together so myself and others who don't know the actual construction of it can have a clear picture. that is y I haven't tried to DIY an oxidator, wasn't enticing making one not understanding how it looks and work. eg.I've always thought the black clay base was an airstone, releases Micro oxygen bubbles& part filter. see what kind of dummy I am. So bubbles releases through the tiny 2pin holes that's on the plastic lid? THANkU !!
Hi. Thats how the oxydator works. The pressure slowly builds up in the jar and slowly pushes out the peroxide into the aquarium were it turns to oxygen.👍😀
Hi Mark, I am having a bit of a problem and would love your help!! I have an established tank with crystal reds. I decided to add some orange shrimp so they wouldn't hybridise. I acclimated them over 3 hours using the drip method. I added them to the tank and went to bed. I woke up and went to check on them and every single orange shrimp was dead!!! I was shocked and after testing can only assume the pH was too low (parameters to follow). All the original shrimps are all ok. Yesterday I bought some yon crystal reds and after acclimating for a short period there were 2 dead in the container. I decided at that point it might be the shop water so i added them in to the main tank. As of this morning I found another 3 of the new CRS dead, can onto see 1 new CRS alive and another 3 unaccounted for. I'm at a complete loss. Is there anything you can suggest as to the cause? My parameters are as of today (no water change): GH: 5, KH = 2, pH = 6.4 0 NO2. NO3 and NH4 and a temp of 21C. Many thanks
Well that is strange to lose all of them!! One thing it could be is they couldn't molt.Any change in there water parameters will trigger a molt if where you got them from had bad water this could have been the cause of death.not being able to throw off the old shell.
Hi. There is two pin holes in the plastic lid as the pressure builds up from the oxygen being released form the catalyst into the bottle it pushes out very small drips of hydrogen peroxide out into the aquarium water which then turns to oxygen.
Bloody genius!!! Good on you mate!!
Thanks Laszlo. :)

BTW there is an Oxydator user group on Facebook with lots of info on Oxydators both fresh water, marine and for ponds.
@@sezles1 Thanks for the Facebook group info! I'd have never thought to look for them.
@@bobdenton9581 Your welcome.👍
Bloody hell Mark,been watching your video's, some skill set you've got lol
Couple of nice Cod bottles in the side of shot 👍
You are the best mark 👌
Very helpful information like always 😉
Nice 👍🏻
Has anybody ever tested one of those ? How effective are they? Are we talking minuscule, or dramatic difference? I'm just curious if anyone has come across any good information on them weather it's positive or negative
awesome video mark !!
its a small stream of cold water ^^ hope this helps .. also looking forward to the building part tomorrow :3
Could you let us know what is the catalyst used in this oxydator ( any metal) ?
Can we do a diy for this catalyst?
Great DIY tip Mark.
the catalyst contains a bid of silver that is decomposing hydrogen peroxide inside into oxygen and water building up pressure inside the container en pushing a bid of hydrogen peroxide into the water so don't forget to make a small hole in the cap and when bubbles stop coming out there is only water left inside or very diluted hydrogen peroxide.

Do i need to use bigger bottle and bigger (or 2 small pieces) catalyst for a bigger aquarium or how does it work?
what did you use for the catylist?
great vid as always buddy. I have used the potato method as supplementary O2 in shrimp tanks. my question is, can you overdose the O2? thanks, David.
Hi mate. Yes you can that's why its very important to have a c02 meter so you can monitor the levels.

Thi Linh N Le So sorry guy's I completely edited out the build part. I'll upload it tomorrow ok!!! Sorry again .
all good there..
strange for u to edit out hehe, that's something u always show in it diys.
cliff hanger=)
Great video mark, but may i ask whether the hydrogen peroxide will leak out to the aquarium throught the 2 tiny hole in the plastic cap.
Hi. Thats how the oxydator works. The pressure slowly builds up in the jar and slowly pushes out the peroxide into the aquarium were it turns to oxygen.👍😀
MARK'S AQUATICS thank you your explanation... I nevee thought of it
No problem!👍😀
I would like to know what kind of catalyst do you put inside the diy oxygenator for it to release oxygen?
Hi . eBay item number:222464607093 These are quite large so you break a piece off and put that in your jar.👍😀
the gold fish are back in the mini pond?
No i made this video befor i went away forgot to publish it!! 👍😀
Thought I was going mad haha

Hi mark, where does the oxygen exit from? Is there a hole on the stopper or somewhere else?
Hi. There is two pin holes in the plastic lid as the pressure builds up from the oxygen being released form the catalyst into the bottle it pushes out very small drips of hydrogen peroxide out into the aquarium water which then turns to oxygen.
two little pin holes in the plastic stopper lid.👍😀
Ничего не понял но было интересно
what catalysts?
Hi Mark. Can you post link where I can buy catalysts for that oxygenator or any one if know?
322941343175 on eBay. Merry Christmas.
@@MARKSAQUATICS Thank you and Merry Christmas :)
Call me stupid but is the stopper glued into the glass weight
Hi Allan. Yes with hot glue.👍😀
allan leonnard glued together but obvious leaving gap or too so the oxygen can exit pass the holes into the water that's my thoughts.
Yes I'm grinding my teeth lol 😂
Hi bud where you buy hydrogen peroxide from
I get from Ebay. 6% food grade ok.
@@MARKSAQUATICS thanks m8
