re: Chemical CO2 Systems
Hello Melissa,

Does anyone have experience with the chemical
CO2 generators found in
some mail order catalogs? The description from
That Pet Place's current
catalog follows:
- ---
Ceomat-Low Pressure
CO2 System
A chemical storage system for the automatic supply of carbon
dioxide
into the aquarium. The carbon dioxide is not stored under pressure in
a
bottle, but as a chemical compound. ...
I'm not sure exactly what chemical constiute this CO2 system
but here is another fairly easy alternative - regular old sugar, water, and your
basic bakers yeast. Very easy and quite effective. Aquarium Fish,
July 1998 pg 12-14 has a very nice description of how to set up an inexpensive
CO2 generator. Check this out at your local bookstore (it is the recent
issue).
Good luck,
Chuck in Atlanta enjoying a break from the heat for
now...
