so i haven't had much luck with co2. i tried several different sizes of DIY bottle mixes, but they never produced any co2. a few bubbles would show in the top, but nothing else. figuring that i couldn't get the bottles airtight, or something, i shelled out $26 for a nutrafin CO2 system. which is basically the diy system with a tight chamber and a ladder dispersal system.

anyway, i hooked it up and added the ingredients yesterday. it didn't work at all, and i went to bed. this morning, there are a bunch of huge bubbles stuck in the ladder system, but they aren't shrinking or going anywhere. co2 is still around2-3 ppm.

i don't know what's going on, or why i can't produce any CO2, no matter what i do!!! jeez, it's becoming a real annoyance.

possible cause: the water i'm using is not dechlorinated, it's straight warm tap water. could that be causing an issue?
