I was looking on Bigalsonline.com and saw the Plant Gro C02 system and doing some research found that it is for 20 gallon tanks. I have a 10 gallon tank and I was wondering if it would be ok to use this system on my 10 gallon planted tank. here is the link to the product I am talking about for those that aren't familiar with it. http://www.bigalsonline.com/catalog/product.xml?product_id=19237;category_id=3349;pcid 1=;pcid2=

Thanks for any input on this.

It works great, a neat and tidy and nearly foolproof version of DIY for the smaller tank, perfect for 10 gallon.

Do know your KH and starting pH and determine what you target pH is, before you add CO2. If KH is below 3 degrees, increase the KH before adding CO2. It is not likely that you will get too much CO2 from this unit, but I've heard of it once, when KH was very low. If you ae uncertain, start the input line on the higher setting and drop it to the lower settings as you are more certain of the water parameters.
