Hagen CO2 Natural Plant System

The Hagen CO2 Natural Plant System is a handy inexpensive way to supply CO2 to your planted aquarium. It is designed for tanks up to 20 gal, but I use it in my 29 gal planted tank.

You may wonder why you would want CO2 in your aquarium. The magic ingredients for lush plant growth is a balance between light, nutrients, and CO2.

An excellent article about CO2 and a do it yourself system can be found here.

After using the Hagen Natural Plant System for some time I started checking on a way to measure CO2 in the tank. I remember seeing a funny bubble looking device in my local fish store. Come to find out it was a Red Sea CO2 Bio System Indicator. These are fairly inexpensive as well, and I'm now able to see when CO2 levels are adequate.
