Hey, I was just wondering if someone could tell me about this and how well it would do with a 55 gal planted tank, just to give my plants a little boost in growth. is it worth the money or is it cheap and doesnt work well? thanks

I dont think itll be too good on your size tank.its basically a fancy DIY system.If you want CO2,save up and get a real set going.You can browse craigslist or even the classifieds here and see if anyone has a setup for sale.

depending on where you are located at, look at craigslist for a real c02 system, they are out there im getting on sat from craigslist just save the money you was gonna spend on that one and put alittle more into and get a real system like bev was saying as well

For a 55, the Turbo system won't cut it. I would build a DIY system using yeast and sugar in Ocean Spray juice bottles (cheapest route). Once you've gotten the hang of the DIY system you can look into pressurized if you haven't already run away screaming, haha.
