I think that this system will be my favourite for a long time 😁. Any other suggestions? Ideas?

Very helpful and well-done video. Thank you!

Great informative video! 👍 Maybe interesting to know(?): 4:59 Those bags are made of PVA, the same PVA as the glue. 😁 You can buy these bags online and fill them with citric acid or baking soda. Just put one ingredient in a bag and add it last. You can add water and the first ingredient as powder, so there's no need to bag both.

You are an amazing guy this was the most informative video ive ever watched regarding CO2 so thanks so much buddy!

I've been using a similar setup for three years now and absolutely love it. But lately, I've noticed the price of citric acid and baking soda has gone up quite a bit. None the less they are really nice setups for adding CO2 to your planted aquarium.

An anti-return valve could be useful just in case... regards

you always have such useful information!😊

Good summary of that system. Also the narrator definitely sounds like a calm Dr. Nick Riviera

7:00 - I'd recommend digital timer socket instead. I don't know if there's the same issue with the Smart socket, but I have Magic Pro on my aquarium lights and sometimes they stay on whole night. No big deal with lights (if it happens once in a while), but CO_2...

Also I work in IT, so I'm very careful with adapting "smart" solutions.

Great video and I have a question, what is the best water to use ?

[FlickzZTutorials]

Hi, what if I cannot purchase the refill bag? Can I make the solution, If yes what are the ratios? I also have an idea to use PVA bags (used in fishing) for the baking soda, to delay the reaction.

Super sprawa, pytanie gdzie można znaleźć ten magiczny timer nie zajmujący połowy przedłużacza?! :O

Loved the video, just discovering your channel. The presentation was very thorough and clear. I just missed a point on co2 stability over time, and how easy it is to finely tune up (is the needle valve good).

This is the video on CO2 I've been looking for! Thank you!

[JPineda]

Can you split this for multiple tanks?

[Babyluthi]

I am glad this came up. I have been thinking of getting one of these for a while now. Can the solenoid wear out?

[gallardo]

Hi, does the needle valve need to be opened more as the pressure gradually drops? I have a double gauge version of this one so I was wondering about the single gauge version you have in the video here? Thanks!

Can you please share where you got it?
