I know people have used end of wooden chopsticks as diffusers. Do you have to carve the chopstick so its thinner or do you just put it into the tubing? i am afraid it will blow up ... if i fit the whole piece of chopstick in
 
This type of DIY diffuser is temporary. Prepare for changing the stick every week.

Yeast CO2 concoction cause a white buildup on everything the CO2 comes into contact with. This means bad things for the small surface area of the chopstick in the air line tubing.

IMO

If you have a 2nd bottle partially filled with water & run the line from your yeast bottle down under the water in the 2nd bottle with a second tube from above the water to your tank, the water will remove the yeast spores & there is no residue build up. Plus you now have a bubble counter!
 
yes i have used a check valve and a syringe to make a bubble counter. right now my Co2 not working. i think its the bottle, so im going to get a Coca cola one where the cap should be tight enough.
 
I'm planning on setting up a DIY CO2 system with a filtration bottle and a piece of chopstick, too!

eBay has a lot of neat diffusers, if you're interested in spending a few bucks for one.
 
There are DIY diffusers that are relatively inexpensive and waaaaaaay more efficient IMO.
