Hi All,
I am new here, so forgive me if these are silly questions!
We currently have a Rekord 70, and a BiOrb 60, both community aquariums. We have decided to combine the two lots of fish into one tank, and have decided on the Juwel Rio 180, which will have plenty of volume for our existing fish (and the same internal filter as the Rekord, enabling us to quickly change the media over in order to be able to add the fish quicker), as well as some extra space for some new fish later on.
I want the new aquarium to be planted - the Rekord is planted but in a rather haphazard fashion, and I would like to get it right this time!
I currently have DIY yeast-based CO2 on the Rekord, but would like to go pressurized for the new tank, and have been looking at FE's. basically, I understand I'll need the following:
2kg FE
Regulator + Solenoid
Bubble Counter
Check Valve
CO2 Airline
Diffuser
So - would all these fit together? Would there be any different versions of any of the items that you guys would recommend? Would I just be better off getting a whole set from LunaPet such as this one?
This is my first foray in pressurized CO2 after running DIY (with mixed results) for a few months. I have read a lot of the other threads, but many referenced eBay items which had ended or similar, and I just wanted to make sure I was on the right track!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Matt
