Wanted - Co2 System

[meejo]

Looking for a full set up if possible, for a 37 gallon tank.

Buy the bits and use a fire extinguisher, much cheaper

 

[meejo]

I wouldnt know where to start?

 

[SchottayB]

Buy the bits you need like a diffuser, co2 tube, bubble counter, one way valves, regulator (everything you see in a co2 pack you'd buy from a shop with out the co2 bottle)

Then hook it up to a fire extinguisher

There are quite a few topics on the forums about it, if you search you'll see it's easy and cheap(er)!

If you look in the planted chit chat section at PARC then you'll find a couple of pinned topics on how to do fire extinguisher CO[sub]2[/sub]. Also, you can search the forums for fe co2 and see what you can find

Thank you for the advice

I managed to get a full set up for £50, with refillable bottle and glass bits about half the gas left in it.

 

[SchottayB]

Good find , much cheaper than buying the box sets from fish shops!

Looks like the regulator will fit onto a FE once that bottle is empty. If it's cheaper for you to get a FE rather than refill that bottle? FE is 2kg roughly £20?

Yep will fit FE it was on Aquarist Classifieds for about 20 mins before I spotted it rang to reserve and collected the day after, advertised at £60 got it for £50. Theres a full 2kg FE at my parents house that I'll be erm, borrowing haha
