Ive decided to setup a DIY yeast co2 system thingy. Ive read what i need for the mixture which is pretty simple. I was just wondering, people say attach to an airstone, others say this is not really effective. I was wondering could i use my powerhead as a diffuser if not what shold i use, and also do i just switch the powerhead on to start the co2 up, do i even switch it on at all? Does the co2 need to be on 24/7 because my powerhead is only on 8-9 hours a day, how does the co2 start to work?. So far what ive read is that i need as far as equipment is:
Bottle (will a 2L coke bottle be alright?)
Air line
Scissors
Check valve
Drill
Silicone (can i use superglue?)
Is it that easy?
Could somebody please fil me in on exactly what i need and how to setup, or if any body could give me a good link with a step by step guide, it would be greatly appreciated. I know these are silly questions but i hinestly have non clue, this will be my first co2 only running on a rio 125, and why spend hundreds of £££ when i can make this?
I know there are some real wizards or here who know everything about planted tanks and co2 etc.., i hope someone can help me out.
Thanks folks
