Hi all.
I have decided to re-start my tank and go for a planted aquarium. I have a 190 litre tank with flora base substrate currently though thinking of swapping this for a white sandy look in the form of unipac or similar.
I have bought a number of started style plants such as vallis, java fern, elodea, ludiwig, glossostigma and have currently tried using a DIY style co2 set up though to be honest its pretty poor and i dont know what i am doing! I have one on a timer and the other just running straight into my tank with no timer, though i dont even know what if anything is being 'pumped' into the tank as cant see bubbles etc...
My list of plants are:
java fern
crypto
vallis
elodea
Glossostigma
Arcuata
ambulia
Already my ambulia and glossostigma are struggling in my tank and are going brown, only after a week
I am interested in getting a pressurised though am worried that it could explode or something in the house? Also i am working to a budget so cant spend a great deal, would ideally like something around £40 mark but am not good at doing a DIY and would prefer a 'kit' providing it will work?
Please could people suggest and help me out here. I found the fluval 88g kit as such - but would prefer something a bit cheaper if available?

do these kits need replacing often? can i have a timer to set it on off? do i need this? what more should i consider?
All help is much appreciated.
Thanks
