Agree. It saves us time.
Moreover, there's resale value in the cannister CO2.
1. I have been playing with DIY CO2 for quite sometime. Intricating at first to see how nature work on generating C02 gas. And plants and water chemistry responses when injected into water after.
Downside is, it is messy and takeup alot of time to DIY relatively. The cost of sugar, yeast etc is debateable at best.
Decided to buy a small Aluminium Canister (about 1/2 Litre) c/w just a cheap control value. Total cost about S$60. Took some practise to control and decide the bubble rate. Once it is set to a bubble for 3 sec in a 2.5ft tank of mine, the Plants are growing well. Cutting grass every month now. Getting Redder and most of all BBA is gone. This small canister is still pumping after 6 months with zero maintenance.
If you have experience DIY, strongly suggest you go get a Canister.
2. The atomizer I used is just a cheap small L-shaped part. And it works perfectly. Forget about the expensive and easily broken glass type.
Just somethng I feel I should share to make keeping Planted Aquarium more enjoyable. Feel free to response.

That is very interesting. A 1/2 litre Aluminium cylinder. It will make a perfect spare for days I can't top up immediately. Where did you come by it?Decided to buy a small Aluminium Canister (about 1/2 Litre) c/w just a cheap control value.
Ok here's the pic. Bought in a Taipei LFS.
After careful estimation ... looks like about 3/4 Litre
I did started a thread between the alum canister and the heavier type (not sure the material type) canister. So far not much reponse.
Do you know what the diffrenec between both material type and price wise? I currently got both types. Thanks
Would be just the right size for my one feet tank, anyone know if this is available in Singapore?
Many thanks!

I am interested too. Anyone got any clue?
