Aquarium Advice Freak
I've been searching around on various sites for prices on pressurized CO2 setups as I would like to upgrade to one later this summer, and I noticed aquariumplants.com has a "complete" system that comes with a regulator, milwaukee controller, a reactor 200 w/ rio pump, tubing, calibration solution, etc. Basically everything but the CO2 tank itself, which I already have anyway.
Here's a link to the kit: COMPLETE ULTIMATE Co2 SYSTEM (best of the best)($500+ VALUE ! )
I've just been wondering how good a setup like that would be in comparison to going and buying each different part on my own and putting it all together myself. I'm not -too- concerned about the difference in cost, I guess I'd just feel better knowing that I'm getting everything I need all at once without any questions, rather than ordering everything seperately and realizing I got the wrong thing or forgot something or whatever.
Lastly, when you go to add that item to your shopping cart on their site, it asks you to choose a size for your hose fittings (1", 1/2", 3/4", or 5/8") -- maybe a stupid question, but what is the significance in the size of hose fitting you choose when ordering that kit? I would imagine that it would work regardless of what size you choose, since they are providing you with all of the stuff that you need, and I doubt they would make their system incompatible if you choose the wrong hose fitting size or something.
Still new to the whole pressurized CO2 stuff, so any info is always appreciated, thanks!
