Between 25%-40% weekly water change.

Fish: 2Angels. 12 harlequin rosoboras. 3BN plecs. 5 Corrys. 3 ottos.

Decor: Some manopi wood and a stone pile.

To be honest mate that kit would be fine, unless you want to build your own kit from lots of different parts and have a massive pub type cylinder, then that kit would be fine (I also dont think there is any real alternative, all the aquarium kits work off 500g cylinders, although I have heard the JBL do a 2kg tank but never seen one or wouldn't know where to get one) you may find you have to refill the bottle every month (alhtough I reckon it'll last much longer), but it that such a major problem?

Sorry its me replying again! Someone else got any thoughts?

What do you mean by 'upgrading' the kit later on?

Like the numbe 1 thing is the diffuser but i have just found a really nice glass 1 for £10. Spose your right really. I just saw a 2kg a miniute ago. Also the solendiod but ill switch of manually for a whilse it wont bother me.

I wont bother switching it off, unless you see visible differences in the fish behaviour running the CO2 24/7 shouldn't do them any harm. Unless you need to reduce the CO2 use for cost, etc just leave it running.

Whats the difference in price between the profit 1 and 2? you can get solenoids on ebay for 30quid delivered and those are new, prob get a secondhand one much cheaper if it comes up for sale.
