Hagen CO2 Natural Plant System Review
I used this system for two years. It works quite well. Yeast Hagen and ‘stabilized’ last about a month in winter, 2-3 weeks in summer, when the yeast seems to burn faster. I did once lose a fish that is trapped in the speaker, but the fish were looking unhealthy (inactive, no power) anyway. You can use the baking of bread and baking soda instead of yeast Hagen expensive, but does not last long. The important thing is that CO2 is released into the tank and the plants look healthy. Do not bother to test my PH in my tank of 20 liters, so I do not know the effect of acidity

This product works well, producing CO2 relatively easily and cheaply – compared to having a pressurized CO2 canister and regulator (etc.) high-tech set-up. Be sure to educate yourself about CO2 in fish tanks. It’s good for plants, but too much could be bad for fish. For example, I operate an airstone when lights are out at night only. This diffuses the CO2, which is not needed by plants in the dark, and plants are not producing oxygen in the dark. (Put air pump and airstone on a timer.) You need to learn the basics of CO2 injection, even for this simple system. If you do, you will have no problems, only great plants. I have only small fish (under 3 inches) in my 55 gal planted tank. Not one fish has ever suffered as a result of CO-2 fertilization, but the plants grow much, much better! I see no reason why a DIY yeast+baking powder solution would not work — will be going to this. For the price, you get all you need to get started, to make your plants look great!
