| Well this morning I attempted my first try at DIY CO2. I followed the instructions in this thread and have to say "Thank You". They were well laid out and easy to follow. I have a ceramic air diffuser to start out with. If I continue with DIY I'll have to build a better diffuser/reactor.

| ok my mixture died sometime over the week. i no longer hear bubbles so my 2 cup sugar 1/2 tsp yeast only lasted about 2 weeks. But that is good i guess... will be making new one today with little more yeast as my co2 levels were low. maybe add a little more yeast to get it going, will check results tomorrow before vacation starts.

| I am going to implement a two bottle method, I think. This means there will be 2 bottles running. The catch is that they are going to overlap the 2 week period. Every week 1 of the bottles will be rejuvinated and therefore there will not be any interruption in CO2 supply. Is this a worthwhile method?

| That is the way to go. I Just re did both of my bottles. Next week I will Redo just one. It should keep the CO2 more consistant. MAHA

| Today I just purchased: ...Aquaclear Powerhead 20 (formerly 201) ...Aquaclear Quickfilter Attachment ...Coralife Limewood 2" Air Diffuser ...Phosphate Test Kit from Big Als Online. I am going to run the CO2 line into the quickfilter attachment for the powerhead to dissolve. Borrowed this idea from post by LWB = (http://www.myfishtank.net/forum/410639-post22.html)
