Best way to make a DIY CO2 reactor?
I've watched numerous youtube videos of peoples DIY CO2 reactors, but they all seem to have some disadvantages. I like that you can mix suger, water, and yeast for the CO2, but how do you limit the CO2 injection? Is it even possible doing it with the yeast setup? What are your expert opinions?

I think my system, which is not running at the moment, is pretty good. I run the co2 line into the intake of my canister filter and the co2 filters through the canister and eventually comes out in a fine mist from the exit pipe. I calculated 30 ppm of co2 in the water and it worked great till the caps I use to glue the co2 line into keep disintagrating. Once I figure out a better cap/co2 line connection I'll get it going again.
