Bioscape CO₂ Reactor with On/Off Valve
The Bioscape CO₂ Reactor with On/Off Valve is a versatile, efficient, and easy-to-use CO₂ generation system designed for freshwater planted aquariums. Using two inexpensive and readily available compounds—citric acid and sodium bicarbonate—this system produces a steady supply of CO₂ that can be delivered directly to your chosen diffuser (not included) for optimal plant growth and vitality.
Built with precision engineering, the kit includes a pressure vessel, pressure reducer, contents gauge, needle valve, bubble counter, and on/off valve, giving you complete control over CO₂ production and delivery.
