It's citric acid, baking soda and water, but in what proportions? I have about a 1 liter vessel.

Here is how you set one up. The problem is that this method doesn’t produce consists in pressure. An requires to be constantly monitored.

pressurized co2 cylinder and regulator system will provide much longer and steady CO2 injection, you can build a industrial grade co2 system yourself...

I came from the freshwater background and CO2 systems discussion was really deep because not many other complicated equipment involved for freshwater planted tank.

this is my personal co2 system that I built in 2013, I believe it will serve for generations, it is 316L stainless steel regulator.
