Hi everyone,
I own a 180litre planted tank which houses approx 30 community fish and my flora consistes of Java Ferns, Amazon Swords, Anubias and a varity of mosses. I do use use fertiliser along with EasyCarbo on a daily basis but am interested in the pressurised CO2 systems.
A couple of queries I have are how long would a 500g refillable (eg JBL) cylinder last for on my tank. I hadnt intended to run it 24/7 so would use a solenoid with a time switch to shut it off overnight.
I have been asking on here if anybody has this type to sell but they seem few and far between and the new systems are quite expensive to buy from LFS or online retailers and they are probably only cost effective on smaller tanks.
My other option is to go down the FE route but I was wondering whether the JBL regulators (green dials) would fit onto a FE without any difficulty ? Also advice on good quality regulators to purchase would be useful.
Any advice on where and what diffusers, bubble checkers, tubing etc to get would be extremely helpful also
Thanks
Trev
