sounds kind of like alkaceltzer :P
I think it just carbonated the water... maybe good for foliar feeding. not sure on how much Co2 would coe out of the water... I dont know... I'm high... void everything I said :P

YEah THe FizzFactory
got the thing myself cause wanted to find out
have aerogarden
cardboard box over it
cpu fan inlet bottom
cpu fan exhaust top
air diffuser in water
two white widows
two basil plants
one greenbean

so the tablet is dropped into a container little bigger than a d battery for holding water the designed contents are for storing it underwater in your fishtank with surface tension (like an upside down cup holding air) for holding the gas. threw all those parts out and thought maybe I would get a 20 oz bottle for holding the gas.found out there wasnt much point in that plan. it did fill about half the bottle guessing cause I squeezed about half the air out of the 20 oz bottle prior to filling it.
now I just fill the battery sized reaction chamber with water, throw a tab in and let the gas come out of the tube on the bottle at the beginning of light cycle and let it gas out about an hour or two no fans then kick the fans on again seems to add a darker green to my plants and maybe more leaf resiliance overall so is definately worth it in the long run. using it about once a week now. would I buy it again sure just the refills now and use old container thing
maybe just buy the refills and throw em in a container of water on the side for co2 in the air
no co2 in the water as I read it acts as an ?anaerobic? effect on the roots.

would this be a good idea for getting cheap co2 without the stench of yeast or the expense of a tank. comments appriciated.

Yes the fizz factory works good for couple of plants
just get the refill things for cheap not the kit
then drop em in water
one tablet is for 3 OZ of water reaction time is only two minutes
would just drop em in a 8 oz cup.
EPA standard is one tablet per 3oz of water (says on the bottle thing in the kit)
if I had to guess would say it emits about 10 oz of Carbon Dioxide Gas per tablet
hope that helps
definately noticed a deeper green using it once a week in the morning no fans going for two hours closed up.
