I am considering jumping into the deep end of the pool with a CO2 set-up on my South American biotope. I'm dealing with BBA and can't seem to get it under control, so I figure, why not go for it (price notwithstanding).
A friend of mine has a CO2 canister that I will be using, so that part is taken care of... just need... well, everything else.
I've come across the linked option. System includes: CO2 Pressure Regulator with solenoid, Timer, ISTA Mini Ceramic Cone CO2 Diffuser, Bubble Counter with built-in check valve, 20 feet of Silicone Tubing.
This seems to be a viable system, and needs only the canister of CO2 and the ppm checker... like this one: http/www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=4608&rel=1
Anyway, if anyone has any experience with this set-up, please let me know. Also, if you have any suggestions on a pressurized CO2... I figure that I will set-up the CO2 to start 2 hours before lights on and shut off about 2 hours before lights off... And I'll aim for about 20ppm rather than 30ppm. I just don't want to have a ridiculous jungle of plants - just a nice looking tank. Right now the BBA is NOT a nice looking tank.
