    recommend that you go for a pressurised co2 system.

    diy co2 will be too tedious. highly likely that you'll need to use more yeast and change the sugar/yeast weekly to maintain a reasonable co2 injection rate.

    in my opinion DIY CO2 work well in less than 60 litres(2 feet) tank
    my cost is app $20 for equipment for app 1 year of supply

    you might need to increase the sugar and yeast or 3 DIY set for a 300l
    so the cost involve is app $60 per year

    it will be more cost effective if you use pressurized CO2
    it will be much more easier to maintain too
