Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Hi Everyone,
I finally got my 75G tank set - with stand and lighting
. With my new set-up, I also bought new fishes - checkered & cherry barbs and amber & neon tetras (I think I have enough bottom feeders) - and few plants - Magenta Water Hedge, few anubias (small and large), tiger lily, cardamon and four leaf clover. I also bought medium driftwood. So far, it looks very beautiful.
Now, I am thinking of upgrading to high tech set-up - with compressed CO2. My plants are slow growing, and I know that I don't need CO2. But I want my plants to propagate faster than without CO2. I have seen few aquariums from my LFS with large anubias, and I decided to get those set-up faster than waiting for years.
I have been looking for CO2 regulators in Ebay. I thought that I have found a great regulator, then found out later that there are way cheaper regulators. Some of you have great experience in buying regulators. I want your help. I have looked for Victor, Concoa and Matheson - its hard to choose. I have already looked for Burkert 6011 solenoid. Besides these, I would like to know what else I will be needing - fittings and their sizes. My current budget for everything including the cylinder tank is <$200. Without the tank, I am hoping to spend about $100-$150.
I hope to get your guidance and advice. Thanks in advance.
