for how long have you had your co2

are your plants pearling?? that is very good I think lol

1 day lol its a 1 liter bottle with 1 cup of sugar & 1 teaspoon of yeast all the plants have little bubbles on them which keep floating to the top so im guessing everything is working just fine.

It's only any good if you're using a glass diffuser, or a ladder of some kind.

As i said everything "Seems" to be working just fine. Plus loads of people have got great results using the diy method. At the end of the day i am not gonna waste £100 or more on a co2 thingy id rather by clothes.

How is the CO2 being diffused? you can get a glass diffuser from ebay for £5

i also copied on of the power diffusers on youtube by attaching an old circular see through power filter housing to my jewell nozzel at a angle to send the water round in a circular motion drilled a hole for the air pipe to enter through the nozzle added a fine air stone and a thin layer of filter media at the bottom, works a treat all of the c02 is dissolved not a bubble reaches the surface! you just need a way of measuring how much c02 is entering your water. ive got a 2 litre bottle mix is 2 cups of sugar and 3/4 tea spoon of yeast the more yeast added the more c02 produced.
