Default co2 refill DIY


Hi, i was wondering if anybody has tried to refill a red sea turbo co2 bio system with their own brew of sugar and yeast? would it work? i was wondering if this is possible to beat the cost of buying refills? Gerry

considering the red sea one is just like nutrafin. (.5L) you can use the same amount suggested:
Stabilizer: 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
Activator: 1/8 teaspoon Active Dry Yeast
Sugar: 1/2 cup sugar
