Co2 System?

[mike455555]

which one to get?...

right for xmas iv asked my mum to get a pressurized co2 system... shes not happy with a FE one
and is now looking into one of theses

its going to be for a 60L tank with 3.2WPG. how long would one of theses last for? before it needs to be refilled?
and is there any other pressurized co2 systems out there ( which are made for the aquarium.-shes worried about the high pressure gas in the FE and the safety behind it.)

any advice? on the system to get?

I think they would last a month, maybe a bit less depending on the bubbles per second. I've also asked for a co2 system for Xmas, the tmc aquagrow 95g co2 hobby set. It's half the price of the fluval 88g and has a bit more co2 in each canister ( and the canisters are the same price as or cheaper than fluval) Here it is

If you're going to get a pressurized system then may I suggest you get a 3kg cylinder.

They are a little more expensive but I've been using mine a 1bps for over 6 months and have only used a quater of the gas. To get one which will last you a week or two before you need a refill is kinda pointless. Also get a system which will use a solenoid to have your setup running like clock work.
You can put together a setup via ebay for relatively little expense. Jbl/fluval and the rest of the brand named co2 setup are really not worth your time. imo of course.
