Anyone use this stuff before?
Thinking of getting some for winter as my tank is in the basement and when the below temperatures start I wont be able to open windows etc.

Apparently you can put this stuff into a empty reactor and attach the reactor outlet to your skimmer air intake and this stuff with take out and extra CO2 that might cause any spikes in PH.

What do you guys think? Anyone ever use before?

I've used it, it does work, you can sometimes find it at dive shops as it is used in re-breathers, might be cheaper that way.
You can get this shipped to Port Huron for about $30, too bad the dollar is so shitty.

I think 750ml would last 2 to 3 weeks.

dang..wonder if could find it in canada but in bulk?

BRS has their own house brand of the same. No clue on prices to compare, but you could check it out.

i used brs's a few years ago but stopped using it. As it doesn't last that long and ends up becoming expensive. I wouldn't worry about your ph. I think i still have half the jug left.

Cheaper option and better long term is to add a air stone or increase surface agitation to increase gas exchange. Unless your fish are gaping near the surface or your corals are not doing well small spikes in PH will not harm them. If you run a skimmer with surface agitation it is not likely you will have high levels of CO2 that will cause an issue. My tank is in the basement and it is really heavily stocked and I have never had high CO2 issues. To me this is just another thing companies want you to waste your money one.

I'm with @Kman on this one.
We've both kept heavily stocked systems for over two decades, and most were kept in the basement with absolutely no indication of high co2.
This is another product to waste your money on imo
