Hiya lordi, i would avoid this if i were you as it ultimatly will let you down i fear, it works on the same principle as another CO2 generating unit called Carbo Plus, and those of us that have been around planted tanks long enough know that Carbo Plus will not provide sufficient amounts of CO2 for highlight tanks (2+WPG on a standard size tank) basically it works on the principle of stripping your KH of carbon, which in itself is not a great idea.

Basically i would avoid and save your cash, a DIY setup would probably produce more CO2.

If your on the cheap go with a yeast system like you have, if you need more add a few DIY bottles.

If you want something thats going to last and give you more control then go pressurized. It does not cost as much as you may think!
