Help With Choosing A Co2 System For My Juwel Rio 125 Tank

[Number 1 Jasper]

can any one suggest a suitable system for my tank ?

i have seen this

http/www.aquatics-online.co.uk/Z079198.asp


any good ?

I would prefer a cheap option , going to co2 bottles is not an option for me i'm afraid !

The turbo co2 system i saw a while ago seems to have dissapeared from the market !

any help will be appreciated

Why not try a diy system and run the outlet direct to your filter.
If not the nutrafin systems are pretty popular.

I say you should do DIY too, also RYO while we are on the topic, would I be alright to just put the airstone in my tank and use that as a diffuser? Or will I have to make a diffuser? I'd have to make a bell diffuser with the bottom of a bottle or something, but it won't look to good. So will I be ok to just put the airstone under the cactus compost? Also, i'm going to use cactus compost so will I have to put sand/gravel ontop or could I leave it on it's own as it would be nice to have a cheap black substrate, and it may look silly with a black layer then a white(ish) kind of layer.

Problem is if i did it diy , it would look unsightly & the nutrafin ones only do 60 litres so i would need 2 !

athanks anyway


was hoping someone would have tried the one in the link i supplied & said if it worked or not .

That link you supplied has lots of systems on the page, which one you talking about?

I'm always a fan of pressurised CO2, its just much easier and I found when I did DIY I got fed-up with changing the mixture all the time so lost interest in the tank and the plants.

That said, if you're short of money give DIY a try and see how you get on, can do a whole system for 10quid, so not a lot of money to waste should you find its not for you
