Hi there everyone,
I know there are a million articles out there on CO2 but given that this community is incredibly helpful, I wanted to try and go straight for the answer specific to what I'm trying to accomplish.
The quick background:
My tank is 75 gallons, I have Cabomba, Crypts, Rotala, Java moss and have recently planted some glosso. My lights are a dual T5HO fixture.
Now, I would like to get going on pressurized CO2 as my DIY is really doing nothing (I have two pop bottle yeast reactors running in to the tank and going out of those blue air stones. I see bubbles coming out, but not enough to make me say "wow, look at all that co2!)
So, my question is:
If I were to buy the following, would I be good to go or am I missing something?
5lbs CO2 tank (filled of course)
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Aquarium-CO2...efaultDomain_0&var&hash=item2573308692&_uhb=1
CO2 safe tubing
And I have this already - http://www.aqua-medic.com/product/co2-reactor-500/
.......
Would that do the job? Thoughts on the regulator? It appears to be cheaper than buying all of the components and assembling myself (I find that intimidating! I like the "out of the box" appeal)
Thank you for your time and feedback!
