hi i need a co2 unit for my juwel 60 tank. i dont know what im looking for so can someone recommend one. it has to be as cheap as possible but be good enough for my juwel 60 tank.

thanks
 
I was going to recommend the Dupla CO2 kit but then you mention cheap and Dupla ain't cheap.
CO2 can be made easily enough. Get a 30litre plastic drum and fill it with 2kg of sugar and water and pour some spirit yeast in it. Put the lid on and attach a tap in it. Have some airline from the tap running to the tank. Buy a cheap CO2 bubbler and join the airline to it. It's a good idea to have a T-piece and tap somewhere in the airline so you can let excess CO2 out and keep the pressure down. If not the plastic drum can explode.
Don't have the excess CO2 going into a sealed room as it can cause anyone in the room to suffocate.
 
Nutrafin natural plant system rrp is usually <£20 it will do up to i think 75 or 90litres i have one and it is great, or you could do a DIY system which i have done also for less than £3. Don't get the tetra optimat has sometimes you have to refill it up to twice a day.
