About half way down that page is a section where the guy posted pictures 
and instructions on how to make a DIY CO2 generator. I found that 
article while researching for a reef tank. I made one two nights ago and 
it works good. Too good in fact. I double dosed the yeast trying to jump 
start my plant tank and ran into a problem worse than recharging the 
yeast. Trying to regulate the CO2. Instead of bending a stiff piece of 
tubing, I simply used flex tubing and ran it through the bottom of the 
strainer (after drilling a hole for it). The problem is that it produces 
so much CO2 that the bubbles actually build up and cause my filter to 
"dry run" for about a half a second every minute or so. I am going to 
have to put a T in it and split it up. Impossible to regulate.
