I have a 45 gallon medium to heavily planted tank. Im currently dosing with the liquid "CO2 Booster" daily, Flourish twice a week and I have several root tabs in place. My plants are currently surviving, but not what I would describe as thriving. Im assuming I'll need to start injecting CO2 into the tank to get to that level.
Id rather not do the DIY CO2 with the plastic bottles, but the legit set ups seem to cost around $200-250. Does that sound about right, or is there a cheaper way of going about it. None of the LFS near me sell the systems, so it seems an Online purchase is my only option unless the parts can be purchased (together or separately) somewhere that I havent looked... Home Depot or Menards maybe?
Also, how does one go about refilling the CO2 tank onces its empty? I cant imagine people just keep buying new $75-100 tanks over and over.
