Co2 Injection System

[Bichirman]

I'm in the process of setting up a planted tank at the moment. It's a 440L set up and although its still dry a lot of the set up has been purchased and will be ready to sort out post santa probably. I am however still looking at which co2 system to include in the set up. With the tank being a decent sized one some of the smaller ones are out and to be honest i'm after one with minimal messing about once its running.

What are peoples experience of co2 systems for a larger tank?

Thanks

C02 on a larger tank needs to be a pressurised system, on a tank that size the minimum without messing about is a 2kg bottle of C02. You can get bigger bottles if you make friends with your local pub landlord. I would do as much reading as possible regarding C02 before taking the plunge into high tech planted tanks.
