check this out and tell me what u think. Do you think it is worth it and do you think it will work in a dwc

This first-of-its-kind system generates the CO2 needed for aquatic plants to perform photosynthesis.

Hagen CO2 Natural Plant System provides plants with a key nutrient that is lacking in most aquariums, Carbon Dioxide (CO2). This self-contained system generates the CO2 needed for aquatic plants to perform photosynthesis. This natural fermentation system has been designed to provide a simple and effective approach to providing dissolved CO2. Using a proven concept, every component has been carefully conceived to enhance performance. The level of CO2 generated by this system is ideally suited to most planted aquariums illuminated with fluorescent lighting.

  • Designed for tanks up to 20 U.S. gallons (75 l), for larger aquariums use multiple units
  • Dramatic results in 15-20 days
  • Enhances growth, condition and color of aquatic plants
  • Creates healthier aquatic eco-system
Size: 3" diameter x 7¾" high (8¼" with airline adapter)
Includes: a fermentation canister, bubble diffuser and 90 days' worth of activator and stabilizer. Simply add water and regular table sugar (not included) to begin the process.

?? i just want to find out myself, that would seem to be a way to cheap fix for c02 problems, but that would be cool if it did work!!

Info here: http://badmanstropicalfish.com/products/plant_system.html

Not actually an underwater generator, more a co2 generator with an attachment to disperse it under water. If I had the money Id buy a bunch of these and set it on top of my hydroton under each plant and let it push the co2 into the air for my each plant... Unless someone thinks it might be more benneficial to put it in the weeds water with the air bubbles but from what I understand roots like oxygen and the green part likes co2 am I right? Thats why I was thinking remove the water disperser thing and just set these under your plants.

Thing is, plants breathe CO2 through the leaves.. O2 through the roots.. Whats the output of the unit?? If you do get one, pay close attention to dropping pH, I don't know where that would even out at, it depends on your nutes/temps etc.. Something tells me this ain't gonna do much though if its designed for max 20G aquariums..
