Hagen Co2 Diffuser

[jaycat]

hi, just setting up a 96l planted tank, and have put co2 diffuser in, but after 48 hours only getting 1 bubble every 2-3 mins, can't be right? Asked in local aquatic shop they said no idea how to increase number of bubbles, or how many I should have. I have 3 amazon swords, 4 mini amazon swords and 3 pots of zosterifolia. How much co2 do I need please and how do I increase bubbles? I am using what was in packetnot my own combination. Many thanks j

Packet stuff=crap, put it on ebay and get some extra cash lol
I fill just over the first line with granulated sugar, add 3/4 teaspoon of yeast, then add water a bit warmer than my tanks, around 30c.

I'm thinking of getting one of these kits for my tank do they work or should i get bottled type? If i do get one of these whats this about packet stuff being crap?

well they are only good for upto 75l. I have one on my 380L and havnt noticed any kind of difference in plant growth

the packet mixure is rubbish, the yeast and sugar method is much better
