    First attempt at DIY CO2

    More of an experiment and a bit of fun than anything but today decided to tiptoe into the world of CO2. I didnā€™t want to spend any money on disposables or more keen diy setups so I just used what I had in the shed. My tank consists of all easy care plants that donā€™t really need supplementary...
