"The diffuser is outstanding. But that’s about it. The harness for the co2 canister will not hang on your tank if it’s a rimmed tank. Thats okay, I can work around that, but what I can’t work around is the fact that the bubble counter/valve would not hold pressure. In order to get 1-2 bps, I ha..."

Bottom Line

The Fluval CO2 Supply Set for Fish has significant performance and durability issues that make it a risky purchase. Buyers should look for more reliable CO2 systems or be prepared to spend additional money on replacement parts.
