Go with the extra pillow stuffing. Any way you can reduce surface agitation will prevent unnecessary C02 drive off.
Liquid carbon can be a little pricey as tank size increases (I wouldn't use it for anything bigger than what you got), but as a temporary fix until you have read up on and can afford a C02 system it may not be a bad idea. Its worked for me in controlling algae and promoting plant growth early on.
