Do you keep your DIY C02 bottles on 24/7?

How long do you leave the C02 running, as ong as the lights are on? I have 2 2L bottles running by monday.
 
Very true, you can't turn off DIY CO2. Even with a powerhead injecting it, you could turn that off at night, but you'd still have CO2 escaping. :) If you are worried about CO2 production at night, you could add an airstone, but with 2 2L bottles on a 55g, I assure you that you shouldn't worry. My 55g has 2 bottles that are just over 2 liters...and my tank is overstocked. I have no problems at all at night.
 
I use a diffuser bell housing.

Has to build up alot of CO2 to even start releasing, my pump coundnt even pump air through it.
 
what about this...were do I put the airstone that pumping the C02 into my tank? Do I put it in the rocks? Filter? Just right in the water at the top?
