🌱 Enhance Plant Growth with our CO2 Generator System Carbon Dioxide Reactor Kit for Aquariums Review

Overall I am happy with this purchase. There are a few pitfalls to be aware of when using this setting. First, the needle valve barely handles the recommended 20psi on a fully filled tank. I had to crank it hard after a normal close to keep the CO2 at 30ppm in my 16 gallon tank and use bubble counter glycerin to keep evaporation down. Second, when you first add water to the citric acid/baking soda, CO2 is produced very quickly, which can foam out of the tank before you even screw the cap on. It

I've wanted to switch to CO2 injection for my planted tanks but the research and cost of a complete system was quite daunting . It was a good compromise. I had to replace the diffuser because it just released huge bubbles. But otherwise it works great. I was going to give it a few weeks before testing to make sure all the parts still work, but it works reliably and the magnet is very useful. It works for me on the same timer as the light. The pressure lasts for a week and a half to two, but I…

I've been using it for a month. The tank itself looks well made, as does the regulator. The bubble counter fit is a little loose and needs to be handled with care. The kit does not include the materials required, so make sure you order them with the kit. It's not clear, but the required powders are citric acid and baking soda. I ordered them from Amazon as a separate order. I swapped out the diffuser for a better brand with fine bubbles. I found it was 10mg of each powder per 1psi of pressure…

Update 9/4/2020: After telling the seller to send me the unit which has been sent back to the warehouse so I can use the parts . by him. I will report on the parts replacement and if it lasts longer. I really think this is a great do it yourself CO2 system for aquariums, I'm just worried about parts failing. I've found that you can buy a replacement solenoid from Revain, but it's $20, which is pretty expensive. Because the bubble counter uses a quick connector and the solenoid is built into the

I received this item in the mail today. Delivery only took 24 hours. Pay attention to the packaging. Nothing is missing or broken. The controller is very well made. Looks and feels high quality. The instructions are very easy to follow. They come as a sticker on the bottle so you don't lose them. I used 200g of citric acid and baking soda for the reaction. The pressure increased very quickly and reached 10 kg/cm within 5 minutes. For easier measurement, 200g is slightly less than a cup. I only…

This system is very easy to set up. The price is much higher than other "DIY CO2" installation, but worth the investment. The instructions could be better, but it's not difficult to figure out how to set it up first. My first load lasted about 3 weeks at about 45 bubbles per minute. My aquarium plants have grown significantly over this period and the stem plants that were below average are now lush. The best part of this kit is the inclusion of a solenoid valve that allows you to start the…

(Note - this is a genuine review - I purchased the product at the advertised price). This system is great! It's well built, works well, and is a great example of the power of simple chemistry. The key is to treat it like a chemistry experiment: 1. Read and follow the instructions fully and carefully beforehand.2. Plan your experiment before you start.3. Use the EXACT amount of acetic acid, baking soda, and water as directed (I used a good quality kitchen scale). Allow reaction to complete…

I want to start by saying this CO2 generator and injection kit is amazing for the price. I bought it about 3 weeks ago and my plants have shown explosive growth. Their colors are also much brighter. The build quality is excellent! Once you get the hang of it, the generator is incredibly easy to fill. It comes with everything you need for CO2 injection. I have included before and after photos to show how this system has affected my tank in four weeks. Cons: - Instructions are not very clear…
