Their algae is also claimed to be as effective as 25 regular plants.
In reality, to have a noticeable/measurable impact on indoor air quality (specifically CO2), these products would still need to improve in absorbtion rates well beyond the 30x- probably to about 3000x.
However, I like the Aerium for its visual and auditory qualities, irrespective of inefficient CO2 consumption. And real plants of course are also pleasing to many people.
I have hopes that through genetic and other engineering products like the Pothos and the Aerium can get that 100-fold improvement over the next 10 years.
