in mine personal opinion, i feel that for a diy set up
there is no need forcheck valve and bubble counter.

Reason

check valve purpose -
allow co2 to come out but not water from entering
*for a diy setup, i think that you will be more worried about the bicarbonate and sugar mixture from flowing into your tank instead.

bubble counter -
to check the no. of bubble of co2 flowing out
*diy setup usually provide very small amount of co2 and there is no need to control the amount entering your tank.

I think that one bottle is enough just ensure that your water level in the co2 bottle is lower to prevent it from back flow ino the tank.

I think using an airstone will be a better choice rather than glass diffusor for a diy setup (imho).

The bottle to the left is to house the mixture. Don't use silicon. I think bluetag do a better job to prevent leakage.

I still recommend using cylinder co2. Saves lots of trouble.
