	CO2 and Temp
moondog Moderator The Hobnob-lin Posts: 2676 Kudos: 1038 Votes: 4366 Registered: 30-Sep-2002	you could try getting one of those little clamp-able heat lamps just for your co2 mix that would probably keep the bottle warm enough to produce co2, although you would be looking at a little more electricity consumption since those heat lamps aren't the most efficient edit: or you could break down and get pressurized co2, although it might be overkill for your little tank Last edited by moondog at 15-Nov-2004 17:05 "That's the trouble with political jokes in this country... they get elected!" -- Dave Lippman

I'm pretty sure bread uses 85F for the starter, not that I ever measured to be exact . Ah well....looks like I'll have to hold off till summer, or use excel.... T'anks all . ^_^ [link=H2g2]http://hitchhikers.movies.go.com/upgrade.html" style="COLOR: #EB4288[/link] 2005 Don't Leave Home Without it[/font]

This sounds like the best answer to me. _____________________________________________________________ There is always a bigger fish...

Put the bottle with your yeast solution in a bucket full of water and stick a cheap aquarium heater in the bucket to keep the water warmer, which will also warm the yeast solution in the bottle. The CO2 production will resume shortly. Last edited by untitled at 15-Nov-2004 15:37

If that still doesn't work, make a new batch and keep that one on top of the tank/lights to stay warm. matt Critical Fertilator: The Micromanager of Macronutrients
