Whats your opinions on this C02 machine http://www.amazon.com/Nutrafin-Natural-System-Activator-Stabilizer/dp/B00026058Y


I saw this at petco. But have no idea if its worth it.

It's basically a DIY system. Sugar + Yeast, they just call it Activator and Stabilizer. I think you should find house hold bottles and buy your own sugar and yeast formula, you would probably spend less money than buying that kit.

I see. Yeah I think might try that. I figured this kit was a rip off.

I wouldn't call it a rip off...You have your difuser and Co2 tubing. Now it is only for UP TO 20 gal tanks. It does work though. I use to use it.

I think I may try a DIY c02 doesn't look too hard. But the tricky part is the diffuser method.

Yeah, simple diffuser could be through a power head.

I'm going to get a check valve also. Should there be a bubble counter/filter type thing set up?
