2.Produced CO2 should be injected into the tank to let it dissolve in the water.but u suggest to build a bubble counter before the reactor,and let the bubbles go into the the water in bubble counter.by doing this,produced CO2 should dissolve in the water in bubble counter. how teh gas can dissolve inthe water in the tank?????

Try to use more sugar...like 1 big cup of sugar and melt them...
Try to use less yeast if yr DIY CO2 finished too fast... last time my CO2 system lasts like 2-3 weeks...
If your DIY CO2 last 1 week or less, it would be too much hassle to mix the solution every week!!!!
Try to use baking soda so that the yeast will survive longer in the solution...
Try to shake it at first if CO2 does not produce... if it produce bubbles... you are using too much yeast...
The bubble counter is to prevent yr yeast solution from getting into your tank... I do not think yr fishes or plants likes sugar water
CO2 do not really dissovled in the bubble counter... it is just a counter to tell you how much CO2 is released by your DIY CO2... as we cannot "see" CO2 gasses
The one way valve is to prevent yr tank water from entering the yeast solution...
If you use those CO2 reactor with bio balls , if the bioballs don't spin b'cos of too much CO2, try using 1 ball less so that you can see the bioballs is spinning while mixing your CO2 into the water..
Hope this helps
