I'm new to CO2 as well and am also still in the information gathering and planning stages! There's a good sticky topic on this section of the forum about CO2 that you should look at. Here's the link: http/www.fishforums.net/index.php?showtopic=105266
Here's a link to another topic which has lots of URL's of useful sites for you to read up on the subject: http/www.fishforums.net/index.php?showtopic=112292
You can buy online from sites like http/www.aquatics-online.co.uk and http/www.fishfurfeather.co.uk

Try a couple of nutra fin units , they are pretty cheap and easy to use.
Heres a link for them and a bit of info -

If you have some cash to burn try a pressurised system , this will give you a more stable co2 reading but at a price.
