Hi everyone.
We recently bought a 41 gallon Osaka tank for our living room. We would like to grow some plants that we've been told would require Co2 to truly appreciate them. (colored plants with pink and orange).
We've been looking around LFS for Co2 equipments but they seem very expansive. Even the guy at the LFS said we should be looking to buy them seperatly and build our own device or buy a used one to get better bang for the bucks. Thing is, we know nothing of the quality of those products out there and if some of them might be considered dangerous (a.k.a. what i hear from some Milwaukee regulators that seem to have leaks and unstability that leads to fish deaths).
If anyone out there has some examples of regulators / solenoid / valves and everything else needed at a decent price so that it doesn't end up being a 500-600$ bill like the LFS was trying to sell us. We are only beginners and would like to grow some plants, not be professional aquascapers by any means.
Any help would be much appreciated, thank you very much.
P.S. Sorry for the bad english, it is not my main language.
