Congrats! That was a great find on that Co2 tank!

Short check list:
Tank
Reg.
Solenoid (optional)
Needle Valve
Check Valve (2 is best)
Tubing
Bubble Counter
Diffuser or Reactor
 
I got my whole setup for under $200.

JBJ regulator with solenoid, needle valve and bubble counter. $81.99
C02 tubing. $7.50
Oracle drop checker with solution $36.99
C02 Diffuser 3000 $18.99

Thanks for the new link Riiz.

Needle valve? I didn't see this part mentioned in the regulator kit. Do I still need one with this set-up?

Not sure what type of diffuser I should use. Will the wooden airstones that I've been using with my diy work?

I think I've got everything else covered. Other than the know-what-to-do-with-it-when-it-shows-up ;)
 
Which regulator do you want to go with? Some dont come with a needle valve? The one i listed comes with everything listed next to it.

The wooden airstone will work, but it wont dissolove the c02 as much as other diffusers.
 
if you have a canister filter i would just say build a PVC reactors. if you don't have a canister filter just get one of the cheap glass and ceramic diffusers. i would say buy from greenleaf but you can also find them on E-bay.

btw the last link you posted doesn't work eather
 
Good grief, I have to figure out how to post links. Anyway the regulator kit that I purchased is the link that Riiz posted for me, a few posts up in case anyone is interested. It was about $76 including shipping. It is a kit that has Regulator, Selenoid, tubing, check valve, needle valve, bubble counter.

More uncharted territory but it should be fun.

Thanks, Blown for the info.
