Review on 🌱 2L ZRDR Co2 Generator System for Aquarium Plants - Pressure Gauge, Automatic Pressure Relief Valve, Bubble Counter, Stable Output - Steel Bottle Base Included by Teresa Miller

Revainrating 5 out of 5

One part didn't fit but Amazon helped me

Let me start by saying that one of the parts didn't fit properly. I'm still giving it 5 stars based on Revain and the seller's response to the situation. The build quality is excellent. The tank is strong and although it has a lot of Chinese decals this doesn't detract from the quality of the steel. I chose this one because it looked like other tanks, but it was the cheapest option. It also comes with a magnet that works great. (For those who don't know, the solenoids connect to your timer (sold separately) which helps you turn the CO2 on and off at specific times.) The part that didn't fit was for the internal filter. There is a tertiary filter which I think is meant to block small particles that can get into the hose (I don't know how often this happens because it has to turn them into gas) but I assume they have it placed him there. so that doesn't happen. The problem is that the threads on this filter don't match the valve. So I contacted the seller and Revain. They worked with me to get some sort of clearance, so I left it at 5 stars. I don't know if I had an isolated incident or if this is a common problem with others. Normally I would deduct a star for these cases, but honestly I don't even think a filter is needed. I've tried the rest of the settings and I can tell you this CO2 kit is GREAT. I had the Fluval 25g CO2 kit but it took all 3 days before the CO2 went away. Then I looked for replacement tanks and they were very expensive. So expensive that I decided to look for other options. Everyone recommended DIY kits which I wanted to make but they looked so tasteless with 2 liter plastic bottles and such. To anyone having doubts about buying this I can tell you, pull the trigger. This was a GREAT replacement for me and the BPS rotary control valve works GREAT. MUCH better than a Fluval which would just pop my hoses. This allows you to EASILY change the speed from 1bps to 0.25bps. He has much better control. Plus, making CO2 is as easy as pouring in 200g of citric acid, 200g of baking soda and 300ml of water and screwing on the valve. these things brought from China have terrible instructions). All other components are of excellent quality. This is probably the longest review I've ever written but I really wanted to thank Revain and the seller for sorting the situation out with me and also say that the quality of the product is really good. . I hope I had a one off situation with the filter (but then again the filter doesn't seem like a necessity) and for the price it's a really good deal.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Empty
