My plants arnt doing very well and i am always using an airpump how can i add more CO2 using the least amount of money possible

Here's some good info and instructions on how to make a diy CO2 generator. Read through the article because it will help you to know if you really need one or not. If you don't have enough light, the CO2 won't help either.

Another option for CO2 is the Nutrafin Natural Plant system which is easy to set up and is reasonably priced.

and when the packs run out - get some normal bread yeast and use it instead

oh and stop the air in the tank too or you'll get rid of the CO2 in the water very quickly.

If your plants aren't doing well, it's probably a problem with the lighting.

edited to add: I just saw your other thread about plants falling apart. I wouldn't add CO2 until you upgrade your lighting.
