Ok i posted this on another forum and i'll post it here first:

--------------------------------------------
How do you prevent the white stringy like stuff that clings to everything in the tank and in the filter when using DIY CO2? I know its from the yeast but it seems no one has a fix for this and everytime i make my mix for CO2 it spreads into my filter in less than 3 days and its making me MAD!!!!

Anyways, i use hagen CO2 and yeast/sugar. I have tried just a pinch of yeast and iv'e tried a lot of yeats. I have tried with baking soda and without... This white stuff will not go away.

If no one can help me i'm taking the Co2 off and i guess my plants will just die off from major algae takeover because im tired of cleaning my filter every 3 days.

I have looked around everywhere and most people dont even know about this subject but those who do still cant find a fix for this problem
--------------------------------------------

If no one can tell me a fix than im buying a pressurized CO2 system. Could anyone tell me a complete system with all the parts and everything considering i dont know all the parts and i dont want to have to full with buying everything seprate.

My tank is a 10gal with 3.6wpg
Other info on my 10gal planted can be found on my website @ www.gekoztanks.com

Please, either answer my first question or give me a link to buy a complete Co2 system for a 10gal.
