🐠 Optimized MagTool 4L CO2 Generator System for Aquarium: Reactor Kit with Regulator and Needle Valve (600-800g Raw Material) Review

This tank is larger than most. Works right out of the box, easy to set up. A "pro" tip: when you add water to a mixture of citric acid and baking soda, the reaction is instantaneous and strong to the point where you lose a lot of pressure and make it difficult to fill the tank. To avoid this, you can buy ice cube trays for use with bottled water (long, thin ice cube molds that fit easily in a tank). easy. That being said, all I can say is that once the tank starts to react, it gets a little…

The system has been up and running for a week now and I am very happy with its smooth operation.

After adding ice to the powder, I had ample time to shut down the system. The system also works with a timer. It's hard to say how long this will last as I make small CO2 adjustments but I will say that after a…

This generator requires minimal maintenance for the amount of CO2 you receive! Each "load" or refill of ingredients only takes about 5 minutes and lasts about 8 weeks of dosing at 1/3 bps for the 6 gallon aquarium I have over my desk. The cylinder looks pretty slick, so I don't mind being seen openly on my desk. I use the included ceramic diffuser and the generator maintains enough pressure to keep the diffuser going. I really like that the diffuser and hose were included in the box. I used…

I built an aquarium with plants and of course it takes a few hundred dollars in initial investment. A friend suggested a low tech route that cost me dead plants and fish due to algal blooms. I have tried small kits of Fluval Co2 and once it exploded in my ear and another time it exploded in the tubes. Yes, I followed the instructions. After monthly calculating the cost of replacing those mini tanks and the constant hassles that come with it every time. Lonely. Day. I figured it would cost me…
