Nice! Hey, it looks like you keep your bottle under the tank - is that the best positioning for these things, or should they be kept closer to the top of the tank? Wondering if positioning is why my CO2 system isn't bubbling :(

how deep in the tank do you have the airstone? I tried to put mine as low as I could but bubbles were not coming out. I moved it halfway up and shook the bottle. Just be careful when you do this. Be sure not to let any mixture reach the airline. Stop when it fizzes like crazy in your tank. And whatever you do, stay close to your tank for at least 30 mins to catch any possible disaster early.

I had mine an inch off the substrate level, and my tank is 24" high. I had the canister sitting well below the tank bottom. I was thinking maybe that was why I wasn't getting any regular bubbles. I'll try setting it up again with the canister a bit higher off the ground and the diffuser closer to the surface water. Thanks!
