| REVIEW: I bought a system like this few years ago. There’s nothing magic about this reactor. Its just a plastic container with a hose and a bubble ladder. It’s a cheap and easy way to produce Co2 but its not signifigantly better than a DIY setup (with a plastic bottle). The activator is actually champaigne yeast. You can use what comes with the system and use bakers yeast after. I am not sure what’s in the stabilizer but you can get the same results using baking soda. . The bubble ladder that comes with the kit is total crap. The bubbles will not dissolve 100% by the time they reach the top. You can waste over 50% of your Co2 using the bubble ladder. The big problem with this system is that the Co2 produced is unstable. With unstable Co2, you help the algae more than the plants. |
