[tom_os]

title says it all. whats the cheapst way?

 

[bagu]

easy carbo?

 

[tom_os]

i think for 240l it would be expensive and after a few months of easy carbo i could of bought pressurised

In the long run going pressurise is a good option

yeah if i was to go pressurised i would use a fire extinguisher

Fire extinguisher. Check out Aarons sig for a link on set up.
Other than that..........how about no CO2?
Low lighting 1WPG or less, deep, nutritious substrate, no water changes (maximum 2 a year). Dose nutrients every week or so. Plants like java fern, some hygrophilia, anubias, crypts. Moderate to low stocking of fish. Expect slow growth, but zero algae.

To add to that, that style of tank could work but you also need to have low fish stocks.

off ebay, and sometimes they pop up on UKAPS

Or you could mix up styles with lots of fish, nutritious substrate, big filter, plenty or turnover, no CO2 and water changes every week to every couple of months.

 

[tom_os]

well this tank is more for the plants then fish so stocking levels wont be high

my mum owns a hotel and we got a fire check next month so she says she may have an out of date one i can have

A full pressurised CO2 setup including solenoid to save on CO2 + powerhead to distribute CO2 round. Not sure on diffusion method, you might need two diffusers to get good distribution in that size tank???

You don't actually need CO2 for plants to grow - search user: George Farmer. If you you want plants to quickly grow high light, CO2 and fert dosing are a must.

CO2 costs greatly no matter what you do initially.
