hi guys ..

i have a 120 ltr planted community aquarium as a few of yee already know ! but this post is for the purpose of looking for information .

ok here we go .

I have a fairly large section of the tank planted with live plants into a fertilised substrate and am currently using a small aerosol co2 injection system . Plant growth and condition has definitely improved since the introduction of my co2 set up but the cost of buying a new can of co2 every 6-8 weeks has lead me to investigate a different route .

Yesterday i managed to get my hands on a 2 kilo bottle of c02 ( fire extinguisher ) and would love to know wot exactly i need to do to set this up as a more permanent source for the aquarium .

wot exactly do i need ... and where do i get it .

Donal ( Limerickbandit ) has been very helpful in advising me on this subject so far . I have searched the forum for any previous posts regarding this topic , but find myself still unsure as to wot i must do from here .

Any advise or help would be greatly appreciated

Thanx in advance

Martin

that would be cool . although can't afford to get it till next week

This is my co2 tank, not exactly a FE but the same thing once you remove the horn



Next we need to find a regulator (american regulators will not fit)

Just had a look on ebay for a regulator
this one is less than 20 yoyo
