Well I have seen a couple of DIY setups for CO2 and am still confused about the basics of making my own. I was wondering if someone could point me towards a simple DIY CO2 reactor build thread or instructions of some kind...

Also, how do I know how much CO2 I need? I read that too much could mess with the water chemistry...

Awesome, thanks. I'm sure I'll have questions after, but this is a great way to start. Thanks Mgamer

now all you gotta do is get iCO2 dissolved into the water column. this worked well for me.

there are better ways, but this is cheap and easy.
