Hi,

I am new to plant aquariums, I have a 25 Gallon tank with just algae eaters as of now, just a week old tank.

I set up a DIY Co2 with Yeast, sugar and baking powder. I used baking powder instead of soda will this create problems, I have connected the output gas to a fine stone and there is a steady stream of very fine bubbles.

Will there be a problem because I used baking powder instead of baking soda?

Hi Jacob,

The biggest problem you will face is that your tank is a week old with living critters. :(

The baking powder has an acid added, I do not think it will do too much harm to the yeast. :confused:
