I've never used the diy co2 method, so I can't comment on your problems.

I can say this though, diy co2 on a 125Gallon tank is pointless. It is
only
good up to about 20 gallons or so.

I works on my 50Gal/200L using two 2L bottles and the Tom Barr internal CO2
reactor.

I get ~15ppm, pearling and plant growth.

2 X 2L bottle systems (2 active reactors) would work in a larger than 100GAL
tank IMO.
