Aquatic plants require CO2 for photosynthesis, but standard aquarium environments often lack sufficient levels. This DIY CO2 Generator Kit provides everything you need to create a pressurized CO2 source for your planted tank. The system is engineered for safety and precision, featuring a built-in pressure gauge and a fine-tune needle valve for accurate bubble control.
What’s Included:
Specialized Bottle Caps, Needle Valve, 3-Way Connector, Check Valve, Tubing, and Pressure Gauge.
System Requirements (User Prepared):
2 x Carbonated Beverage Bottles (2L Coke/Sprite bottles recommended).
Reaction Materials (Citric Acid & Baking Soda).
CO2 Diffuser (Sold Separately).
Proportional Guide (For 2L Bottles):
Bottle A: 200g Citric Acid + 600ml Water.
Bottle B: 200g Baking Soda + 800ml Water.
Safety Note: Never unscrew the bottle caps directly while the system is under pressure. For emergency decompression, turn off the needle valve and safely disconnect the tubing from the end to let air out.
