Re: [APD] CO2 methods

["S. Hieber" <shieber at yahoo_com>]

The simplest and least expensive method is to have the CO2
bubble into the intake of your canister filter.  some folks
have a problem with the canister sometimes accumulating too
much gas and locking up -- others do not.

The most efficient and least obtrusive method is to use an
external reactor. You can build one yourself with a few
dollars wirth of pvc parts from Home Depot of similar
hardware store.

A great example of a diy reactor is here:
