So.... this Nutrafin set up...... would it be good to start out with??? Or should one venture into a simple CO2 thingy with regulator and the works.....???

I saw a set sold at NA for quite a good price..... was thinking of getting it..... but at the same time..... am not into planted as yet..... so am stil deciding......

What would you bros recommend???

what is the ingredient for DIY CO2 in nutrafin bottles?
I filled the first mark inside the bottle with water and then filled water to the 2nd marking, then add in a table spoon of yest and a table spoon of baking soda.
after an hour, can see bubbles coming out liao and think it is like 1 bps is my mixture correct?

ye !! finally CO2 for my planted tank!

I got my Nutrafin set about three weeks ago also. But I stopped using the canister provided becos the co2 only lasted less then 10 days. Twice I mixed the ingredients as directed also the same. So now I change to 1 litre 7up bottle and mix ingredients (from supermart) according to recommendation on the forum. Yes I agree with EvolutionZ that there is this white slimy thingy on the flipper that trap the co2 bubble. I took out and wash twice already. Quite troublesome.

You meant you filled it up with sugar to the first marking?

Anyway so long as you see outputs it should be fine. Do take note that after a while the bps will increase significantly before dropping down again.

The while slimy thing is the organic by product. You can leave it safely inside though shrimps usually clear them. It is totally harmless.
