Default Hagen C02 Natural Plant System question

The yeast in the bag is probably dead. May be got frozen, or overheated
before you have bought the system and died. So get yourself some yeast from
the baking section of the food store.

Okay, keep in mind that I'm a beginner. I purchased the Nutrafin system

CO2
system because it looked like a good solution for my tank and it wouldn't

be
an eyesore in my house. I just have one problem, I cannot get it to

produce
any CO2 yet that I can see. The yeast, sugar, baking soda and water have
been in the reactor for over 24 hours now and still no CO2 bubbles can be
seen. The directions say that the fermentation should produce CO2 within
2-10 hours, but my setup has been going for much longer than that now. I
checked the hose and made sure the cap was screwed on tightly on the
reactor. I followed the directions verbatim, but no luck yet. Has anyone
else had a simlar experience? Also, if anyone has any tips they'd be
greatly appreciated at this point. Thanks.
