I would like to have a discussion about DIY CO2.

I have been using DIY CO2 on my 10g grow out tank. But it's been some sugar and some yeast. but now i have seen some discussion about baking soda to buffer the solution and what ratio do people use. Also what about several bottles that are 1 week apart so you get a more even flow. what about diffusers, I use lime wood, does anyone use ceramic? what size bottles? Most people talk about 2L soda bottles.

Oldpunk i see you use DIY CO2 and have several bottles... comments?
