how long will my c02 tank last.

[calfishguy]

I am looking into a c02 system and was wondering how long a one liter bottle would last. Its for my 29 gallon medium light. So I'm guessing about 1-2 bps.

I would at least do two 2 liter bottles, switching out one every week. You want one 2 liter bottle of co2 for every 10-15 gallons.

Okay thanks. If I do get a system I will be getting a bottle from a welding supply store. Do you guys think this is a good system.

That is the recommendation for doing diy CO2.
I am assuming that you want to do a pressurized system. In that case i cannot help with how long a 1 liter container would last.

Are you doing DIY or pressurized CO2?

Pressurized. Sorry I should have specified.

Is this a good set up in your opinions.

I own a Milwaukee regulator. It's a good entry level setup. It's not as high quality or as reliable as better (ie more $$$) regulators, but it will get the job done.

As far as tank choice, I wouldn't get anything less than a 5# tank.

Out of the following systems which one would best suit my needs in your opinions.
