I have a 130l Aqua one planted tank and have been using a combination of a Nutrafin and home made yeast based generator.
As this is not very easy to control I decided to go down the pressurised route.
As someone who has a lot of TMC kit both tropical & marine, I decided to buy their pressurised Co2 kit - the one with the glass bits.
I can only say how very disappointed I am.
The glass diffuser just doesn't work and the pipe just blows off the connector whenever even the slightest pressure is added.
I decided to use an in-line diffuser on the filter return but could not get the in tank indicator to turn green .
Finally I resorted to using the "ladder" from my yeast-based set which did seem to put some Co2 into the water.
In addition to this, the glass non-return valve leaks water down to the cylinder and the control valve is very difficult to regulate .
Now after less than three weeks the cylinder is empty !
I am now looking at a different system !
Sorry TMC you haven't scored with me on this one.
