Well i've been dropping half a pill a day in my 20l, it's a lot but with surface agitation it keeps the c02 levels nice. And my Monte-Carlo is finally after one and a half month taking roots and spreading. Note: i does seem that my plabts who needs c02 still don't like the environment, so i think i'll stop using these. Thank you for running the experiment and telling us the results!
CO2 tablets are Baking Soda. You can raise pH and kH with Baking Soda... and a very small amount of CO2 will be released as it reacts with acids in the water. Only good if someone has very low kH and very soft water but wants to keep livebearers or Africans.
I'm thankful you did a water test after the tablets. I am surprised your PH and KH went up so high. I thought CO2 is supposed to help lower a high pH, which is what I am trying to achieve.
When you showed amazon the Sera tabs next to the ones you purchased I've used those combined with the sera tab reactior/diffuser . They are supplied as a kit called Sera CO2 start, works very well in a small aquarium without altering the parameters
Everyone who uses CO2 tablets finds out that it raises their pH and hardness. They're all most likely sodium bicarbonate (aka baking soda) tablets. It's often used in vitamin or antacid tablets to produce that 'fizz' as it dissolves. As your pH gets higher, it takes longer to dissolve the tablets so even though the reaction does produce CO2, it can't ever give nearly enough needed. They're not wrong in that it does produce CO2, just not in the quantities we need.
When you first showed the tablets the first thought that jumped to mind was that these are seltzer tablets. The results of your water testing would seem to confirm my suspicions. Seltzer tablets are made of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda pressed into a tablet). They should definitely increase carbonate hardness because they're directly adding carbonates to the water.
Few things to note here: They write CO₂ wrong. Co (with a little o) is Cobalt, a heavy metal which is completely different from carbon dioxide. Also they change how they write it throughout their text. Also they use a large 2 instead of a small one at the bottom, which I guess is acceptable, but for a company really embarassing. 2nd of all my guess is that it's a form of carbonate/bicarbonate, judging from the rate at which it dissolves most likely soddium or potassium bicarbonate. Which would increase pH as well as carbonate hardness. Bicarbonates and sometimes carbonates can be used by plants directly (e.g. elodea/egeria densa; myriophyllum heterophyllum), known as bicarbonate-assimilation, however that requires a lot of energy (compared to using carbon dioxide directly) and can't be used by all plants. So it's god damn stuipid to use those.
Okay, thank you for ending the debate about these dang pills! But more importantly thank you for the super SUPER cheap and easy DIY alternative to the expensive setups! 😭❤️👏 I'll be trying it out at some point!
Mark, your bookshelf is looking so beautiful... still very excited for a room tour again lol. Please keep up the great work and I just wanted to say how fast this channel is growing as well.
I've followed your low-budget way of CO2 injection for serveal months now ( i replaced it with Axit Nitric and Baking soda ) Thank you, for good videos always
It's not Co2 in the pills but some kind of acid, like seachems Acid buffer. The way it works is it dissolves available carbonate hardness (Kh) in your water into available co2. Seems like these pills are a combination of acid and alkalinity buffer, to try and maintain a stable ph while dissolving the carbonate hardness into co2.. and clearly doesn't do a great job at it lol. This is also probably why some people see actual changes and others don't see any change at all, because it depends on your water parameters and what is available for these pills to alter.
It's the opposite of an acid, it's a base. A carbonate/bicarbonate to be exact, probably mixed with an acid, most likely citric acid as it has a solid form to form carbon dioxide and a citric acid salt. [on a side note: CO₂, please, not Co2 (Co ist Cobalt, a heavy metal)]
Weer een geweldig leuke video en test MJ, ik hoorde dat je binnenkort in Nijmegen ook gaat filmen, ik ben benieuwd en zou daar graag bij zijn ook, Ik ben er zelf meestal op een vrijdag. Succes met je leuke video’s Gr johnny
There are actually Boxes you submerge and dropt the tablets in. The CO2 that raises up in this Box is then kept in some kind of Topper so it can diffuse into the water over time. This might increase the effect of this tablets and I think that was what they tried to tell you on the packaging. I dont know if this helps a lot though.
Yeah I've seen those boxes! (Sera CO2 start) Those tabs seem to work much better indeed, but I can't get myself to place this big box inside my aquarium 😆
@@MJAquascaping Wouldnt put this into my tank either but this topper style reservoirs are also used with biological CO2 generators, as this seems to increase the amount of CO2 that actually diffuses into the water over time. This might be something that could be tested in some future videos on the no CO2 tank. This way we could compare if one of this systems might be a low budget alternative to pressurized CO2. Spoiler: I doubt it. I mean you already have a video on low budget bio CO2 and you have this tabs... why not give it a try with one of this toppers :) Keep up that good work and interesting videos!
i use the same tabs for my 5 gallon tank....... I normally use 2 tab per day and I get decent growth..... the plants in my tank are s.repen, cobomba, monte carlo and dwarf hairgrass.
if you want to use co2 tablets more effectively, place the tablets in the diffuser box, so that the gas is trapped in the box, then dissolves with water. box I mean like the bottle upside down on the tropica co2 system. in my country using a DIY box for co2 tablets, effectively lowering the ph from 7.4 to 6.7 and getting a green co2 indicator. You can replace the tablet with a cylinder of co2, and save your money, because an inverted bottle doesn't need high pressure to fill it. only 1 bubble per second, put the co2 hose into the bottle without going through the diffuser, you don't really need high pressure.
I’m glad I didn’t waste my money trying the cheaper co2 routes! I’ve had pressurized co2 for over a month now. Sure it was expensive initially but there’s no question if I’m getting enough co2 or not!
What if it’s simply not enough co2? I started adding co2 to my tank 3g. I was adding 1 bubble per 3 sec and slowly increased it but those first few days it was blue all day
This does not make any sense :) Just think about the basic laws of physics. In my tank I use 1.5kg bottles with CO2, this corresponds to 765 liters of CO2 gas at standard pressure and temperature. Each of these "magic" tabs generate roughly 100ml of CO2 (according to descriptions of similar tabs I found in my local shop). That means you would need nearly 8 thousands of these tabs to substitute single 1.5kg bottle of pressurized CO2 :D
Lmao, these CO2 tablets man i swear... You know what works better if u really want a cheap CO2 compared to these tabs especially in a nano tank like the one in the video? simply do a 20% - 25% water change every once or two days. I promise you the amount of growth and CO2 it'll brought to the tank are much much more significant than those useless tabs, i even managed to grow a decent carpet in my low tech tank using that method.
Oh my, I lost time and money, I got some of this "Magic" pills, well, btw IM very new in Aquarism ( w plants) , Im back after 30y w no aquarium, and now many thinks was changed, and I found your channel, thanks to great content, salutations from Brazil, and sorry about (any) gramma/typos and more.
I just received CO2 pills because i stumbled upon this in the market and i was mmhh why not ? If it's real CO2, it could be worth a try and better than those Carbon liquid fertilizer that lies in suggesting that they contain CO2 but in fact they contain a very complex carbon coumpound alongisde wih algea killer. Well I saw your video and your disappointment transfered to me instantly ahahaha. Gonna do the CO2 yiest+sugar with your video next week then ^^
Firstly, I would guess that whatever chemical reaction that is taking place is, in fact, producing Co2. It would be interesting to have a co2 drop checker directly over the dissolving pill to verify. However, clearly the amount of Co2 it is creating is a tiniest fraction of what a Co2 system creates, so it isn't shocking to me at all it didn't register. Also, my thoughts were kinda the same from the beginning that he thought about in the end. Surely the chemical reaction is creating more than Co2, so what other compound is being created and being added to the tank. For those wanting to add Co2 to your tank, but looking for some system less involved than even a DIY system, I would think that these pills just aren't worth the negatives that come along with them given the miniscule benefit they add.
I actually Buy a root tabs fron te same chinese brand. From wish. I hope You can make a Review soon. I love this Chanel. Greetings from México.(sorry for My Bad English :p)
Bummed that you didn't try the Sera tabs, i was curious because i have them, i can see the difference in growth of my plants if i use them, but don't know what else they do to my water... ua-cam.com/video/Rvaq5jqYRME/v-deo.html Found this guy tho... in the end of the video he talks about using the diffusor with a sodastream ?! Would be great to see you explore that way of co2 injection ! Thanks for your video's ! Learned quite a bit from them 👍
@@MJAquascaping exactly this one. To try co2 tablet. I bought the chinese brand you showed. And I don't think it really works. Some particles of the tablet don't dissolve so there will always be white things floating around in the tank. Luckily, it just cost me USD1.5 for 1box, 36tablets.
So i wonder why Amasuck still sell this ???? I so much hope sites as Amasuck will die within short time. So people can get stuff that realy work again, at a normal shop that dont make their hiered people into slaves. God bless my local stores!
I always feel like CO2 hype is just a sales pitch from those who produce and sell the products related to it. I will not risk it especially when I do fish in cycling.
It still seems incomplete to me. I had plants in my tank with no co2 for months and had very little plant growth. I am unsure that they were not working after only one week.
Was trying a LOT cheaper chinese version (2 different types): was adding 6-8 tablets at once into a 30 L aquarium's filter (for the best water flow) and the CO2 checker's color NEVER changed!!
Mark, I was hoping that the experiment would work. You save lots of us money. My Nano tank doesn't have co2, the carpet plants are not growing well. Thanks
Hey MJ would you consider having a skimmer on that last tank? cause I see the bubbles getting stuck on the surface. Nice videos man, love them, you are one of the few that the experiments are helping me all the time! Cheers!
Thank you for releasing this. I have also tried them and didn't see any difference. If you did it would likely be a placebo effect and had to do with some other variable. I started using DIY CO2 recently with the baking soda and citric acid method. I have seen lots of improvement in the plants in that aquarium. That CO2 runs high pressure so I may be able to get away with hooking 2 tanks up to it. I have had issues with the liquid from the bottle getting into the lines going into the tank. Any advise for preventing that?
Which mixture and diffusor are you using for your DIY-CO2-bottle on your 20L Cube? I am still using a Dennerle CO2 Micro Flipper with Bio-CO2 on my 30L tank and was already thinking of a diffusor upgrade, but i tried one from my father and the pressure wasn't enough. Enjoying your videos, keep it up.👍
I'm using the diffusers from Aquario, love them! The mixture is basically 250 gr sugar and 250 gr water. I heat that up and then add in 3 gelatin leaves. The entire recipe is here ua-cam.com/video/OtpfltN15-8/v-deo.html

Thank you so much for this great info about the CO2 tablets. Was contemplating whether to buy or not before stumbling upon your video.
CO2 is solid at -32°C or lower . So there's no way they can be sold in a solid state in cheap plastic bottles.

seeing the increase makes me think it's baking soda lol.
Thx u. No wonder my plant was not doing well
Informative video, with a beautiful aquarium, my friends recommend it for viewing!
Ya you need a better intro sir 😊 skip the "hope you are doing well today"
I have my answer. Thanks for your video
Try that with excel flourish 👍👍
Thank you for releasing this. I have also tried them and didn't see any difference. If you did it would likely be a placebo effect and had to do with some other variable.
I started using DIY CO2 recently with the baking soda and citric acid method. I have seen lots of improvement in the plants in that aquarium. That CO2 runs high pressure so I may be able to get away with hooking 2 tanks up to it.
I have had issues with the liquid from the bottle getting into the lines going into the tank. Any advise for preventing that?
Thanks for sharing! Sorry no advise for your issue, I've never used the DIY citric acid and baking soda setup apart from the SS reactor
Awesome thank God I did not buy those pills
Which mixture and diffusor are you using for your DIY-CO2-bottle on your 20L Cube? I am still using a Dennerle CO2 Micro Flipper with Bio-CO2 on my 30L tank and was already thinking of a diffusor upgrade, but i tried one from my father and the pressure wasn't enough. Enjoying your videos, keep it up.👍
I'm using the diffusers from Aquario, love them! The mixture is basically 250 gr sugar and 250 gr water. I heat that up and then add in 3 gelatin leaves. The entire recipe is here ua-cam.com/video/OtpfltN15-8/v-deo.html
i never knew c02 tablets existed
I found out a few months ago 😂
I'm using some liquid Co2 as an experiment. I think it's working? What's your opinion on it
Liquid Co2 is great for killing algae, but that's all in my opinion
That Chinese brand is better.
Try the Chinese brand sir.
