    I saw this at the LPS, just want to know your thoughts on this. Not that expensive, but googled it. The reviews is not that great.

    Anyone with first hand experience?

    I have been using it in a recently setup 40l planted, as I felt to get a proper CO2 setup is a tad expensive for such a small tank.
    I have not had any problems with it, other than the fact that it is a tad bulky and unsightly, and it is quite tedious refilling the 'diffuser' everyday.
    Also, I have gotten the knack of filling it to the point where it is empty at lights-off time.
    Overall, I think its good for not too demanding setups, and small tanks, where the amount of co2 diffused makes a noticeable difference.
    I have to add that I dose Flourish Excel in this tank as well.
    Current plants in the tank are loads of Cryptocoryne, Aponogeton crispus, H. polysperma and difformis, as well as Ludwigia arcuata.
    And all of them are showing increased growth since switching over from a DIY co2.
    Regards
