Would you like to try this?

Add sugar to the first marking in the container.
Add about half a flat teaspoon of yeast.
Add about 3/4 flat teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate.
Add water to the second marking in the same container.
Do NOT shake the solution, just tighten the cover.

I believe you've been linking the solution to the supplied flipper? And that there's water circulation (from the filter outlet perhaps) in your tank?

Give a few hours for the co2 bubbles to start coming out, and keep us posted on the outcome.

As mentioned, it's not all that uncommon for some white stuff to gather at the outlet tube of DIY co2 solutions. Normally, out of 3 canisters that I prepare, sometimes one will have this white stuff after a day.

Are the bubbles coming out of your solution ok, by the way?
