    This is something that i did,
    i bought the following items,
    1x DIY CO2 D301 Model at $27 sgd on ebay
    1x WYIN CO2 Magnetic Solenoid Valve Low temperature Generator Dedicated 220v at ard $16
    1x U shape Co2 Diffuser set around $5
    2x bottle of 1.5litre cola bottle.
    1x A bubble counter for $2
    Phoon Huat Bicarbonate & Citric Acid. ard $10 (For 600grams each packet)

    currently running on test at my room, just running 8hrs per day on/off using timer. So far so good.. No Increase of pressure of the bottle which i check every morning.
    this system like what above has stated, its only creating CO2 as it is needed. No Extra pressures. Might need to give it a shake alittle of the bottle to prime it again.
    Oh ya, its been 3 days now..

    So is it worth to diy or to get yourself a co2 regulator w/solenoid or canister?
    i'm new here by this im spent around $50 excluding the ingredients.
    or should i get myself a co2 system probably $200 +/-?
    or a 2nd hand system $80-150?

    Im sort of new to this hobby, but as i love to DIY stuffs.
    Probably in future ill get myself a system if this doesnt work well for me when time to come.

    I got the D301 from eBay about USD15. No solenoid for me so I got the dymax nano co2 reactor from seaview at $6 .. and connect to a 2w submissable pump which is connected to timer.

    When the light and pump is running it will just circulate and dissolve co2 from the chamber. When light and pump is off, the chamber will just act as storage for generated co2.

    I adjusted my output to 1 bubble per 5 second so during the first few hours, the reactor will use mainly from the stored co2 in the chamber.
