For real, a good diffuser makes all the difference. And if you're gonna do it, might as well get a timer for the CO2 to match your light cycle. Saves gas and keeps things steady.

If you go DIY, keep an eye on the pH swings. Yeast methods can be inconsistent, so test daily until you get a feel for it. A drop checker helps too.
Yep, pH swings are no joke. Almost lost my shrimp once because I wasn't paying attention.
