i just bought this co2 setup today for 100 bucks, it is a milwaukee tank not sure what size but it came with the regulator, solenoid, bubble counter, and reactor diffuser chamber. I am not sure how to set the amount of bubbles on it but it is at about two bubbles per second. I am looking for a good batch of plants to do the tank with. I would love some feedback if you guys got it.

looks good. 5lb bottle. The reactor looks good too. I'd add a check valve right before the reactor. Plants depend on your taste and what wattage you got going. Main problem I had with my 46bowfront was circulation for the bowfront. so make sure you have enough

Here is a bunch of pictures i took with my cell phone so sorry about the quality. My Angel fish is a camera hog. Currently the tank is overstocked but i will be taking out as many fish over the next week as possible. Let me know what you guys think. I am happy with the scaping for now but i will change it up with some more plants as soon as i can.

nice looking tank shots manny! I would limit the cfl 26watt lights until you get more plants. or you'll have algae problems. I see your gobys are doing ok
