Yes, I suppose I could do that, Big Vine. That sounds like it would work well.
(Confused? see previous post)
If anyone else happens to find me talking to myself here, could you tell me what you think about what the LFS guy just told me. He runs a place here in my area.
I just went in and bought a bunch of plants, asked him about his CO2 at home (he does DIY). He said he mixes it everyday and it runs about 8-9 hours. His "tip of the day" was to inform me that it would be best to make sure the CO2 mixture bottles are situated above the level of the tank; claiming that, if kept below, the tank water would be sucked into the tank and subsequently returned into the tank along with yeast, which would basically destroy everything.
That's when I asked if he kept an empty space between the end of the tubing (inside the bottle) and the water, upon which his response was to insist that the tubing needed to be submerged!
Please confirm my suspicions about this last part (the tube having to be submerged thing) as being one giant load of bull.
Here I am getting ready to hook my DIY CO2 today---later on---and now find myself second-guessing everything. lol
