Default Hagen C02 Natural Plant System question

First of all, thanks everyone for being so helpful. I decided to wait a
little bit longer and now I'm finally seeing a few bubbles, but it's only
like one bubble every 5 minutes or so, so I still think something is wrong.
I'm going to go to the store tomorrow to pick up some wine yeast (everyone
says it is better) and I'll add it to my current batch to see if it ups the
CO2 production. Thanks again to everyone.

Daniel.

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.

Daniel
