Anyone know of a good DIY system for a 135gal tank? Most I've seen are for smaller tanks. I'd rather not have to deal with more than one system if I decide to do the DIY.

135 will be hard if not impossible to do a DIY setup for.

Look for the 3l soda bottles at the grocery store...usually they are the generic brand. I've also heard of people using the 5 gallon water jugs from a water cooler.
Gang valves and lots of airline tube will be involved. Shaking up a 5 gallon jug wont be all that much fun either ....you're likely to find it better just to get a real CO2 system .

That's what I was afraid of...

I havent had the joy () of running a real CO2 system....but from what I hear they're much easier to maintain compaired to a DIY setup.
Dont think of the maintence just think how nice your plants will look :88).

You have to think about it this way: “Yeah, I will go High Tech”
