Co2

[jacko9901]

hi

i am soon going to be setting up an 240 litre heavily planted tank and i was wondering what would be the best type of co2 system to use?

i've only heard of the nutrafin co2 system. i am looking for a system that is easy to maintain and is reliable, is this the best one to use and if not what one would you suggest?

thanks.

Pressurized Co2 is the one most people would opt for.
Check out the pinned topic about converting a fire extinguisher for CO2 use.

Thats the cheaper and best option imo.

do you know of any pressurised cylinders that you can buy ready made?
dont like the idea of making one as i will probably mess it up.

I think nutrafin do one, but not sure how much it costs. Do a google search.
