I'm new to having live plants (or a tank in general, for that matter)... I know that plants need Co2 to thrive and was wondering if anyone has any comments on this system. I found it online at Big Al's and it's a reasonable price... I don't want to spend hundreds when I'm not sure how the whole plant thing is going to work out... :) Any comments would be appreciated!
 
They actually have this system for sale at a local PetSmart here. It's basically just a commercialized version of the DIY co2 that everyone uses. Personally I think you're better off just using the DIY system as it will be cheaper and just as advantagous as it's the same system being used.

I've tried DYI and bought the same CO2 system from big al's. i must say go with the store bought system i've abandoned the DYI setup because of the ease of use of the store bought. it only requires to be refilled about once every 2-3 months and since i've put it on my 42g hex i've taken the biowheel filter off and put a whisper 10g filter on it has helped my plants filter the water so well i never have any problems with it. it's so maint. free i often forget to feed the fish :rolleyes: i have 12 neon tetras and 2 fancy tail male guppies in it.
 
Oh, cool, thanks so much!
 
I'm thinking of getting one plant and I was wondering if I need one of those Co2 injectors for the plant in a 10g?
 
OH, I'm planning to buy 1 pc bulbs i already got 1 so that would make 2 (yay i can count) Its a 10 watt that equals 50 watts of incandescent lighting. One of these
 
Red melon swords need a reasonable amount of light. The co2 system discussed here comes with packages that are often old and no longer work. If this is the case, use sugar and yeast. When u run out of the packages, instead of buying more, use sugar and yeast. Way cheaper.
