I don't think it is advicesable for DIY CO2 in 5ft tank. You might end up need couples of bottles.

Typically the number of bubble in the bubble counter will drop when it almost use up

okie thanks for your reply

btw how do we tell if the DIY co2 is used up ?

no more bubble before that you should see the number of bubble reduced.

You can do it with a scaled down to 5 liter can of my 'DIY CO2 - The Madhatter System'. Just go through the post on this board. My system supplies several of my aquariums, and they include a 6foot and also a 5foot high lighted aquarium.

when the sugar/yeast is about to be exhausted, the co2 generation is significantly lesser than a fresh one. usually, one will change the solution when one find the the co2 generation is too low. thus, some will make use of 2 or more generators in order to achieve a reasonably consistent co2 generation. bigger tanks will require more generators.

Recharging after observation of low production, though necessary, leads to inconsistent CO2 supply. The trick to attain consistency is to have 3 generators with weekly recharge of one and adjustment of the quantity of yeast which would be just sufficient to completely reduce the sugar in about 18 days.

Keeping the number of generators at 3, just vary the volume of the generators to cater for the size of the tank you want to supply CO2 to; larger the tank bigger the generators.

I might have the dubious distinction of having been a successful DIY CO2 user for large tanks and for years in experience.
