On this tank i have a pressurized co2 system so i dont have to worry about low co2 levels. For a tank this size i wouldnt really recommend a DIY co2 setup since it wont be enough, if you have a good light (2wpg+) you will start seeing algae grow instead of the plants.
The limewood airstone was about $1-2 and it does diffuse the co2 good by giving tiny tiny bubbles, its similar to a glass diffuser.
pressurized co2 will be about $70 for regulator + $55-100 (depending on co2 cylinder size)
It is a big cost upfront but it will pay off in the end. Ive sold plenty of plants to make up for the system.
U can run 3diy but it still wont be great since the levels will be dropping. Plus now its winter time, the fermentation process is affected by room temperature.
Hey your tank looks really good.
Go look at my Planted aquarium video. I am going to just make my own Co2. Will this little thing cover the whole tank?
Does it have good results? How much is the airstone?
Sorry for all the Q's, I am just a noob to the planted aquariums, and tell me if I planted anything wrong in that video, thanks! (:

Dang. Well, my birthday is in 13 days so Ill ask for something :D
What are the best ones? and how fast does the Co2 run out? I can't be buying new Co2 every month :/ thats expensive.
