"It worked for a week in a jar of water but when moved to main tank stopped working in three days. Tried resetting the yeast twice and cleaning the ceramic disc every way possible but still get nothing. Recommend just eating it and buying a actual setup"
"Works well, not sure why there are recommendations online to go with more expensive CO2 setups when this is adequate. I have a 5 gallon tank, trying to make a planted tank Not sure if more of this might be needed for a larger tank"
"Extremely Easy to setup. Bubbles are a little inconsistent but a great system if your plan is to use CO2 when starting your tank, then remove once plants are established. Will definitely use in future setups."
"Easy to set up, as someone new to co2, this is a good way to get introduced and learn about how to maximize dispersal et . . . I read some say that flow slows down after first couple days, I haven't had any issue as of yet, but you do have to ensure the ceramic disc stays free of biofilm etc."
"Fun and easy setup. Worthwhile for establishing a low tech, carpeting tank."
"Sometimes this form of co2 can be inconsistent, so it may be best to purchase two of them"
"Easy to set up. There is enough refills to get you by for several months (depending on temperatures). Highly suggest using an air stone to get oxygen in water as there is no way to control CO2 amounts. Just planted tank. No fish yet. In the week it's been running I moved some of the Stem plants and already see good root growth. So far the results seem good. I'll run it for a while longer for plant growth before adding fish then shut it down once thigs are growing on their on."
"I got 2 kits. I followed all of the instructions exactly on the box. A dded the 300ml of water at the temperature it siad, shoot 100 times. After 24 hours, I added the bio, and then the 200 ml of water, at the temperature it said. It worked for about 5 minutes and stopped, on both. So I followed the refill instruction, emptied out the water, and repeated the steps for bio and 200ml of water. Nothing. Made sure the tubes were empty. Nothing. I came here to watch the video, and the steps for adding water and bio were reversed from what it says on the box. It says add water first then bio. I made sure the water was measured and used a thermometer to make sure it was the right temperature. Tried that, nothing. Waste of money."
"Easy"
"Not enough pressure. Inconsistent"
