EASY DIY CO2!

Alright, so I just wanted to let you all know that DIY co2 for your planted tank is a whole lot easier than you think it is. All you need is one 2 litre bottle, sugar, water, yeast, airline tubing, hot glue or silicon, and an air stone. Fill half the bottled with water, add half cup of sugar, teaspoon of yeast. Then poke a hole in the bottle cap that the tubing can fit around. Don't put the tubing in the water that's in the bottle. Then seal the hole gaps around the tubing on the lid with hot glue or silicon, stick the air stone on the end that you'll stick in the water. It will take anywhere from half an hour to 2 hours to start making co2. There should be short bursts of bubbles ever few seconds or so. There you go, the most rediculously easy way to have co2 in your planted tank! Whoever tries it I want to see pictures!
