I wonder why my DIY CO2 can only last for 3-4 days.. really troublesome if I have to keep on make again and again.. btw, how much does one CO2 tank cost? and usually can last how long? my tank is only 2feet...

1) brand new 2L roughly cost you RM180~220, depends on the lfs...
2) then you have to buy the regulator
a) manual - RM60 (estimate)
b) solenoid - RM250 (estimate)
3) Diffuser/reactor
4) check valve
5) buble counter

Mine I use about 1 full cup of sugar and then half teaspoon of yeast....

Do u think it's necessary to get a diffuser?currently im using zigzag DIY CO2 and no diffuser. So, do u think it will be better to replace a diffuser instead of the zigzag? thanks... biggrin.gif

Thanks so much Usermode and chuppy2... really apprecaite the advice. If it grows on my rock, I will take out the rock, and pour hot water over it. Then the algae surely die. Hehehe.. even to the filter, I will just pour hot water and soak it for few mins. but for plant, i cannot do tat. so, I will follow ur advice.

Pinchboyz, water flow... my filter there's low and high, so I put in the middle so it's medium flow. Should I turn it to low?

thanks a lot everyone!
I hate BBA!!
