Depends on what size tank you have. It's easy to setup. It's much cheaper than the jungle labs CO2 generator/ box and cheaper than flourish excel. If you do set it up, you'll need a glass bell-diffuser (or a powerhead, or similar) to break the bubbles into smaller bubbles to get better diffusion rates. The hardest part of the setup was constructing a bottle cap that didn't leak when hooked up. I ended up drilling thru the cap, and using liquid nail to glue a straight-through airline connector to the cap. I used liquid nail, on the inside an out, to attempt to stop an leakage. I did go through a couple caps before I got it right though. Allow sufficient time (for the liquid nail, glue, silicone, whatever you use) to dry.
Recipe I used:
Using a 2L bottle
2cups sugar [completely] dissolved into about 1L of hot/warm water
add 1/4 tsp yeast
add 1/3 tsp baking soda
fill bottle with warm water (helps stimulate the yeast) until up where the bottle begins to taper at the neck
connect to tubing, wait 20mins - 1 hr, and you should see production

I dont think it's required, but I sure think it would help. I'm told it's a very high light plant though. If you can find it for cheap, try it. But I certainly wouldn't pay alot, just to 'try it'.

I found it at azgardens.com for $5.59 per plant. Maybe I'll pick one up when I order some Bolbitus and see how it goes. Thanks! I'm hoping that the 1.45 wpg I'll have on my 55gal by this weekend will be sufficient to keep it alive at least.
