[Craig89]

Evening everyone,

On one of my jaunts on ebay i came across this.
http/cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160379320577&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

What do people think? Would it work in my 230l tank ? not looking to plant it heavily just want a nice selection but dont want them all dying on me .

steer well clear.
that tiny bottle will last a week if your lucky. very lucky.

on my 240L i was running a 2kg bottle. much better. the constant changing of canisters is going to get costly and very tedious.
if you want co2, the cheapest and best route is the fire extinguisher method. (see the tutorial)

you need more than co2 for your plants to grow. fertilisation and lighting needs to be spot on. get it wrong and all you will be growing is lovely algae as it will out compete your plants.
