DIY co2 thread

Ive been seeing alot of two bottled set ups. Why do you need two. I thought you can just use one and get a 1 way valve right?

Consistancy and Larger tanks.

You see BBA can occur with inconsistant co2 levels. So what you do is make one setup 3-4 days before the second setup. What happens is when 1 is fading the 2nd one isnt.

Again though this logic is for 45+ gallon tanks (if you must go DIY)

Cool I was looking for this thread.

I paid $80 for my full pressurized co2 setup. These seem like an awful lot of time, upkeep, and mess. What is everyones reason for not just going pressurized?

Can you give me some details on your system? Where did you get it?

Hey guys,


I put a check valve between the DIY generator and bubble counter rather than the bubble counter to aquarium, is this OK?


Also if I were to double the recipe in a gallon jug would it make any difference? Like stronger and more C02 and more pressure? Do you think I should run 2 bottle on a 29 gallon?
