Maybe it's old. I've used both packet and jar with similar results (good).

its def something im messing up with the mix or bad yeast.
I rebuilt the entire thing last night and still no bubbling. I know I have no leaks and no pressure building. Left it all night with no luck.

Im going to have to get a jar of yeast and try this again. Also out of sugar.
Back to walmart and the dollar store.

I used this mix this time cut in half since im using 2 1 liter bottles

Can you follow the bubbles down to a source?

Nope but I noticed today at lunch it finally started producing and now I'm home and bubbles everywhere.
Mostly its around the area where my water from the filter hits the top of the water in the tank and that's exactly where I have the co2 output where in theory it would hit that down pour, break apart and be pushed back in the tank. Appears my theory may be working

If you can't find the source then I would say it is co2. I can always find the pearling source after watching it for a bit.

Leave it in. i used to run an air pump at night to avoid gassing my fish, now I don't and all my fish are fine.
