This is the setup i use on my tank

- milwaukee regulator, solenoid, bubble counter, and co2 tubing as a kit for $90 online

- 10# CO2 tank from a local welding shop for $90, and $15 refills once a year

- an in-line atomizer diffuser for my canister filter for $25

- a timer for the solenoid for $5

A sizeable up front cost, but the consistency and the set-it-and-forget-it was well worth it

At what point would you need to go with co2 on a planted tank. I have a few plants but not sure if I need co2.

You don't need co2 until you move up to high light heavily planted tanks.
