Sounds like competition for the Oxydator.

New from SeaChem! Just add our mineral nodules for an oxygen boost in your aquarium. Get rid of cyanobacteria and detritus. Batteries, underwater solar cells and water proof USB connectors sold separately.

nice. This was one of those where I know a bunch of ways to consume oxygen in water, but not many ways to make O2 in water without photosynthesis or a strong oxidizer.
