air pump for C02?

**rainbowfish** · 07-23-2008, 07:28 PM

Is it logical to supplement a C02 reactor with an air pump until the C02 is established? I suppose it would have no effect really, other than being slightly diluted, right? I plan on taking the pump out after the 24 hours its supposed to take to establish the C02. I guess im just anxious for my C02 to start, and really there's nothing i can do short of poking it with a broom handle and telling it to work faster, right?

In the words of Spock, "Illogical, captain". I don't think poking it with a broom stick and telling it to work faster is of any use at all however good it makes you feel.

Just be patient

Be patient? How do you do that?

how about more yeast? Do a 50/50 ratio on the sugar and yeast?
