This seems like a potentially nice thing for a home office or bedroom. Does anyone have any experience with their home version?

I use it in my office. Don't really notice a difference. I should get a CO2 reader and test it out.
Do you feel more mental clarity - reduced brain fog - less sources of headaches.

These seem like they were specifically chosen due to them being things which you cant really test or quantify.

I really like the idea, but it does seem like a hard thing to be sure of. I suppose a secondary question is: does it look nice? :)
I liked the idea until I realized it wasn't self sustaining and needs a monthly subscription to replace the algae =(
In some ways I don't mind it since it seems expected and I also like the idea of using the remains as compost feed. But I was a little worried about the expense of renewing it plus the waste from doing so. It looks like the algae and nutrients come in plastic bottles.
