I don't know if it can be used for Nutrafin CO2 in particular, but I've done it with normal DIY CO2 despite claims that it can't be done because DIY CO2 lacks enough pressure.

I won't say its impossible but you need something really strong and rigid to hold the contents/gas in it (if not something will rupture due to pressure).

How did you get it to work with DIY CO2?
I tried for like 1hr before giving up

Thx

I've no idea too. Mine was a glass diffusor like the one in the first post, while later on I changed to a simple cheap L-shaped ceramic disc I bought from NA.

My DIY CO2 was the same as everybody else. I'll share it with you though.

-Coke bottle or similar, as long as it was used for storing carbonated drinks
-fill up empty bottle with fine SIS sugar 1cm
-Fill up with water
-Sprinkle enough yeast inside to cover the surface of the water with yeast
-Cap and attach to tank.

The connections made were simple.. a metal screw-on turn valve (those for airtubing) attached to a normal airtube, Blu-tack around the joints. No bubble counter, only a check valve.

what did you do in that 1 hour?
did you check for leaks?

Hi bezz,
1)Usually there is a leakage, thats why it wont work.
2)You have to wait for a while for the pressure to built up(1/2 hr to 1/2 day)
3)Cool the sugar solution before adding yeast.
4)Your concoction is not correct.
Some of the factors you might wanna check on. Ps, this is for DIY Co2 application, hope it helps.
