I know there are DIY options, but this looks nice since it has a gauge and is reusable. But if someone knows anything about this or something better please share.

A 20L. I was trying to avoid the cost of full blown Co2 setup, but I don't want plastic bottles sitting around the tank. Where the tank will be, it has no place to hide it.

I have a diy I use on my 45gl. If you have somewhere under the tank you can store the system you can just use a longer hose to get the co2 into the tank. Seems like a good Idea for someone who wants a diy co2 system but doesn't want to build all of the components or just wants something with a cleaner look.
Another cheap non diy you may want to look into is the small fluval co2 systems. Its not the greatest but for the price I it works good enough. Its $25 on amazon I think, pretty expensive in stores. I also ordered a better diffuser with it for around 10 bucks. They also charge a ton for the 20g co2 refills, its around $15 for 3. However you can order 16g THREADED co2 cartridges off ebay for around $1-$2 each or buy a converter to use a larger refillable paintball gun co2 container. I'm not sure how well it would work for a 20gl, but it works great for my 10. Again this is not the greatest co2 system, but I really like it. I didn't want another diy with my nano and I wasn't ready to spend the money on a good system. They also have a slightly larger system for around $50, but Im not sure there is a way around buying their co2, besides possibly doing the larger refillable paintball gun tank adapter.

Thanks twillis. I will give them a look. I might do a Joey DIY setup...Idk, I just don't want to shell out big money again for another tank just yet...

Also keep in mind you don't have to use soda bottles if your doing a complete diy. You can spend just a few extra bucks and get some kind of containers that look a little nicer. I thought about making one out of a beer growler, that way it could still be a little decorative if it had to sit in the open somewhere.
