Diy co2. Easy. Well depending on tank size. What size is your tank

I'll bet the tablets you are talking about are the equivalent of Excel

I stand corrected, seems they do have co2 tablets, after a quick read.. you'd probably be better off with excel/metricide or a proper co2 system. Firstly.. the big 3... lighting, co2 and ferts.. and lil brother flow.. what do you have in regards to all that?

No it's not equivalent to excel. Don't waste your time with them, go diy, dose excel, or go pressurized. Whichever you choose, consistency is important.

Another thing to consider. When the tabs dissolve properly they will have altered your KH and GH, possibly your pH as well.

The premise is the same as the alkaseltzer. Dry forms of acids and bases that when dissolved in solution (your tank) will react to form salts, h2o, and CO2.

Better off sticking to excel or a pressurized CO2 injection system, adding something that will for sure alter your water chemistry, esp with prolonged use, is to be avoided.
