Okay, this is about my 2nd or 3rd week trying to get the DIY Co2 working. and as you can tell.. its not. i tried it with making extra small holes... leaked. so i bought bulkhead fittings... leaked. i do not understand how to stop air from escaping and also, it doesnt even seem like it works when i squeeze the bottle and let it flow through the tubing. i used a 2 liter bottle, some check valves and then a glass reactor. http://www.aquacave.com/co2-reactor-100-brby-aquamedic-1142.html
its so frustrating to even write this cause i know its not gonna work no matter what i do. the bottle is located on the ground, does that make a difference? what can i possibly do to fix this. PLEASE HELP BECAUSE IM CONSIDERING BUYING FAKE PLANTS WHICH IS NOT WHAT I WANT AT ALL!!!

so is the diffuser a waste then??

is it just a toothpick puncturing the tube

that could be a huge problem.. i do have the cheap hosing. that could make a difference? it makes sense. and i think right now my mixtures finished cause i been doing it for like a week with shaking it and everything. ill get some new hosing and see how it goes
