	Naturall c02 (fermentation does it work)
dragon Small Fry Posts: 14 Kudos: 15 Votes: 1 Registered: 18-Mar-2003	I was considering installing C02 system into my tank while looking at various opptions Icame across a system by nutrafin(I think)that supplys C02 via a fermintation process instead of via compressed botled gas it was markedly cheaper but being a beliver that you only get what you pay for I was wondering if this system would provide results if I did go ahead and install a C02 system.

For tanks over 75 gallons I dont think it'll work @all. ^_^ Current [link=Contest Rules]http://www.fishprofiles.com/files/forums/Aquascaping/44382.html?200412022138" style="COLOR: #EB4288[/link][/font]
