    yeast based co2

    Hey guys, I just ran out of the sachets on my nutrafin c02. Are they just bicarb soda & yeast, cause if I can buy my own supplies instead of buying refills, well that'd be just dandy.

    Bicarb is added to the sachets just as a hardness buffer I think, someone correct me if I am wrong.

    the bottle from nutrafin c02 is way too small...you better off DIY from soda/juice bottle...I throw away my nutrafin c02 bottle long ago..
