Yeah , that one bit of omniscience tends to strike an offnote with me . I feel like it wouldn ' t have stood out so much if it had been , eg , In Sd ' s long history , only once have pirates enjoyed the protection of the strongest naval power in the world . <| sep |> My experience with diy co 2 isn ' t the best . It was quite fun to play around with setting it up , but its getting annoying now as the reaction becomes quite inconsistent citric and baking soda . My tank is small so I ' m using a very small amount of co 2 , which is a tad annoying to set up every morning . I used the diy method for about a week before deciding to go pressurised . Bought a regsolenoid and a soda stream bottle adapter online , neither have arrived yet but I ' m going to relish the more set it and forget it approach instead of having to tinker with the bps every morning .
