    5.0 out of 5 stars Easy and Reliable

    K. · 20 January 2020

    Very easy to set up and maintain for the future, comes with instruction booklet on how to set up although there are YouTube videos on it. Doesn't come with a bubble counter or atomiser, but has all you need to generate CO2

    5.0 out of 5 stars Very good system!

    C. · 23 August 2013

    The system is the best as you have all you need for a DIY CO2. You have 2 caps but you need only one depends what type the CO2 recipe are you using. The gauge is very good as you know what pressure you have and when is due to finish. The hoses are very good and they fits perfect! I really like this system. I was lucky as my wife doesn't know about it otherwise she drives me nuts! Haha

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great kit, but upgrade the needle valve!

    C.W. · 13 February 2017

    Hi Guys,I've been using this kit for about a year now with frustratingly little success... UNTILL NOW!I was constantly fighting to reliably regulate the pressure from this system, finding that once a rate was set, it would either gradually stop or worse, get exponentially faster and faster, dumping a whole charge's worth of CO2 into the tank.I battled with it for ages, even buying a 'proper' regulator thinking that the variable pressure generated by the chemical reaction needed properly regulating, rather than just 'pinched off' by a needle valve. No luck.However I recently invested a few pounds in a brass needle valve: https://www.Bolo.co.uk/gp/product/B00PBDQJK6Now it works perfectly! Been using it for a week with no issues - never managed more than a few hours before!Do yourself a favour if you buy this kit and get a decent needle valve!

    3.0 out of 5 stars Good DIY CO2 system- but will be going back to the pressurised system.

    M.N. · 10 March 2015

    This was meant to be a temporary replacement CO2 until I have my pressurised CO2 kit repaired (broken valve). Used this in total for about 4 weeks. For the price- it surprisingly felt solid.Used this for the citric acid and bicarbonate method- so can't comment on the yeast/sugar fermentation method. There are a few videos out there showing how it's done. In my experience;1) You are going to waste a couple of reagents until you get the feel of it- always buy extra. I got mine from Wilco- cleaned the entire shelf of citric acid (£1.50 for 250g) and bicarbonate (£1.50 for 500g). You will also need 2 x 2L bottles, a check valve, a drop counter, a diffuser, and a drop checker (if you are going into the CO2 world- I'm sure you know where all of these should fit).2) The instructions on Bolo is 200g of citric acid to 600 mls of water into Bottle A- and 200g of sodium bicarbonate to 800 mL into Bottle B. I note the Chinese instruction booklet that came along with it said 200g into 200 mL for both. Tried this- disaster (will explain later).3) Close the valve in B.4) Initially, when you squeeze A into B- the reaction produces CO2 in B which increases the pressure of B.5) Mix enough of the mixture and the pressure will eventually be high enough to be 'pushed' into A.6) When it gets to the required 1.5 kg/cm2 pressure in A as required- release the valve to get your required bubble speed.7) When the pressure in B drops below A (since the CO2 is being let into the tank), it'll draw mixture A - which creates more CO2 and increases the pressure. The cycle repeats till there's no more mixture A left.Tips:1) Use very warm water to dissolve the citric acid and sodium bicarbonate.2) The video that I watched said that you should open the valve to make it easier to squeeze A. I notice you waste a LOT of the mixture if you do it. It is a LOT harder to squeeze A whilst keeping the valve close- but you're saving on your mixture (not recommended for arthritic hands). Actually, after capping A and before capping B-I insert about 20g of citric acid straight into B then quickly cap the bottle off to jump start the system.3) BE PATIENT!! When you squeeze A into B, wait until no more bubbles are produced in B and no bubbles go into A. Swirl it if you have to speed it up. But wait. Once, I just kept squeezing A to get the right pressure without waiting and the pressure in A kept on building to almost 4 kg/cm2- 3 hours after I left it alone.4) Via trial and error- I use 200g of citric acid to 400 ml of water and 200g of bicarbonate to 600 ml water. If you use a lot of water initially- towards the end, all the water would accumulate in B and the pressure can go up very quickly overnight. Less water= more room for the gas. Using it at about 0.8-1 bubbles per second for 8 hours a day (I attached a solenoid valve with no issues), I usually get about 2 weeks supply. Which comes to about £4.5 per month with 100g of citric acid to spare (minus what you put in B to jump start the system). If you use less water (200ml as stated)- even a tiny bit of the reagents mixing will lead to a quite rapid pressure rise.5) There were a couple of times when the pressure in A was around 4 kg/cm3 and climbing- I just SLOWLY unscrew the top off and stop when I heard the hiss to release the excess gas. It was safe for me- use the tip at your discretion.All in all, a cheap alternative to my pressurised kit. But will certainly go back to the pressurised system when it's repaired. Kept on worrying about the build up of gas and worse case scenario it exploding. As for all DIY system, know what you are doing.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for CO2 on a budget

    G. · 28 February 2016

    I have tested the DIY CO2 Aquarium Plant System for well over a month, I also bought a CO2 Diffuser, bubble counter and a Solenoid Magnetic Valve linked to a timer from 12.00 to 20.00 (8 hours). I got 29 days of CO2 from the mix have just started the next one, once I found out how to get the pressure up to the green zone on the pressure gage, this is the video I followed [...]So far so good the plants are thriving and the Echinodorus atlandsberg is starting to flower, this is a first with this aquarium as before the CO2 all the plants died.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!

    Works like a charm on my 300l just waiting for a solanoid to totally automate and bought another one for my 600l

    pour Aquarium ok, pour les moustiques non

    j. · 12 July 2021

    Utilisé pour la génération de CO2 pour améliorer la performance d'un système Bio Gent de capture de moustiques..Ca marche, + de capture, mais la quantité de CO2 est adapté à un aquarium et insuffisante pour mon objectif qui demande, je crois au moins 200g de CO2 Jour (ce qui serait la production totale de 200g de bicarbonate et 200g d'acide citrique soit le mélange préconisé dan s2 bouteilles de soda de 1,5l).Si qqlun a des lumières pour éviter d'avoir à investir dans une bouteille industrielle de CO2...merci

    funziona perfettamente, attenzione ai dosaggi.

    M.S. · 12 March 2019

    Funziona perfettamente!!!! E' molto importante rispettare (almeno in proporzione) i dosaggi indicati sul foglietto illustrativo!!!! Sono i seguenti... Bottiglia 1: 200gr acido citrico + 600ml di acqua. Bottiglia 2: 200gr di bircabonato + 200ml di acqua. Utilizzate le bottiglie della coca cola o della gassosa o comunque di bevande gassate altrimenti il tappo non stringe (io avevo provato ad avvitare una bottiglia di acqua naturale ma non stringeva, probabilmente il collo ha una dimensione diversa). Se riuscite a procurarvi le bottiglie di plastica da 2 litri (di una qualche bevanda gassata) allora potete aumentare leggermente le dosi rispettando la stessa proporzione di prima. Bottiglia 1: 300gr acido citrico + 900ml di acqua. Bottiglia 2: 300gr bicarbonato + 300ml di acqua. Sconsiglio dosaggi maggiori di queste!!! L'acido citrico non penso lo troviate al super, io l'ho preso sempre su Bolo. Il risultato è ottimo, avrete CO2 stabile e a basso costo per il vostro acquario!! io è già un po' che lo uso e sono super contento!

    Perfecto para co2 casero

    Perfecto, co2 casero sin fugas y acopla perfectamente

    Good, cheap CO2

    A.P. · 24 November 2016

    Definitely works as advertised. I used citric acid and baking soda for my reagents. I would recommend heating your water before dissolving the citric acid, it makes the process a lot faster. Also, when you start the reaction aim for the lower end of the acceptable pressure range. Pressure will build as the reaction continues. I close the valve when the lights are off to save CO2, it doesn't take very long to reset the flow rate. The supplied needle valve feels a little cheap, but so far has been adequate for controlling flow.I've been using it for two weeks now, and plant growth has stepped up nicely while algae growth is rapidly declining. If you've got problems with algae or just want to see some faster growth then this system is worth a try.

    Ich habs nicht geglaubt ....super Sache

    K. · 29 September 2016

    Tolles Ding, sehr gute Idee und Umsetzung und sehr preiswert dazu. Man benötigt noch; zwei Cola Flaschen , 200 gr. Zitronensäure Flasche A und 200 gr.Natron Flasche B. Baut sich über 2 Bar Druck auf, unglaublich, und hält diesen auch !!!!!!. Der Druck bleibt relativ konstand da aus Flasche A nach Flasche B nachgezogen wird, bis Flasche A leer ist. NACHTABSCHALTUNG : einfach das Schlauchende aus Flasche A aus der Flüssigkeit ziehen. Somit läüft keine Säure mehr nach Flasche B und die Reaktion stopt, zeitverzögert. Morgends Schlauch wieder rein kurz schütteln oder nachpumpen und weiter gehts. Da man sowieso täglich füttert stört das nicht. Und wenn man es eine Nacht vergisst , meine ich , ist es unwahrscheinlich das man überdosiert. Soll bis über 2 Monate halten, bin erst bei einer Woche.Im Vergleich zu Hefe mit Zuckerwasser konstant mit hohem Druck, langlebiger, billiger . Nebenbei : mein Ventil war defekt da ich es überdreht habe , also vorsichtig zart dran drehen. Also ich habe ein 200l Becken. Wenn es 1 Monat hält , kann ich wunderbar bei jedem Wasserwechsel CO2 neu anlegen. Vielleicht könnte man mit 2 Liter Flaschen das Intervall verlängern . Passt......
