Bioplast Co2 System

[paulioo]

I've just went and increased my lighting to 2.5 wpg, so I also bought a Co2 System. Ideally I wanted the Hagen one but the shop didn't have any so I ended up with 'BioPlast NutriFlex CO2 System.

The problem is when I put the Co2 tablet in the dispenser, it all dissolved within 30 seconds. Now there's no tablet and no bubbles??? Is this meant to happen?

Have I bought a crap system?

Sorry, have no experience with that CO2 system. Have you done the obvious i.e. read instructions properly?

Yes

I re-assembled it again and put another Co2 tablet inside, it did exactly the same.

I cant understand how I will continously (sp) generate Co2 when the tablet has completely dissolved

I think i might need to buy the hagen one.

"This system is just a simple plastic container.
You add an alka-seltzer-like tablet to the container, and it dissolves.
The CO2 is left in the container, and the gas slowly dissolves into the water.
You just drop a new tab in every 3 days or so."
