Hello I have been collecting all the equipment to start my first planted tank.
I am aiming to build a 60l Iwagumi tank, I have already purchased the substrate, plants, 36w fluorescent light...
I am trying to build a cheap'ish Co2 system, I have just purchased a Co2 bottle from ebay, the bottle is unbranded but the owner says it fits JBL regulators.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/140672459552#ht_720wt_1413
My question is, can I use any regulator on this bottle, like ones without solenoids or multiple gauges?
Here are the ones I have been looking at:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UP-Plant-...plies_Fish&hash=item255b15f4e2#ht_3532wt_1180
If it is possible to use these regulators on my setup, what would be the pro/cons of using such cheap parts?
Also is this enough lighting for this setup, or should I retrofit another 36w bulb into my hood?
If anyone can help I would be much appreciative as I am feeling a little lost in this slightly daunting matter.
Many Thanks, Ben.
