Well, up to them
It's their money, not mine.
Plenty pay for convenience for specific aquarium brand name stuff.
I just question why pay more for less? CO2 is critical and doing it right will save more pain an suffering in the long run.
Been there, seen it.

what bad have you heard of the milwaukees? if you dont follow the directions you can bust it.....but that can happen with anything when you dont follow the directions...
Thanks everyone! Maybe I just don't know that much what I'm looking for on ebay or something. Seems like in the end the GLA one I posted wouldn't be all that much more after paying shipping for different parts etc.
I'm going to order my pressureized co2 tomorrow, and I have just a few more questions please...
I've been reading everything I can to try and get ready to get it going when it gets here, and I came across an article about CO2 not being safe for the fish if it is a hevaily stocked tank. Is that true? Also it said someting about if it is a covered aquarium (glass tops) the co2 will form a layer in between the water surface and the glass and prevent oxegeyn from entering the water. I have to keep mine covered because of cats. lol Opinons?
Also, what is a good ppm of co2 to start at? Should I start low and work up or something?
Thanks!

That being single stage they are more susceptible to an end of tank dump. The needle valve is not up to the same quality as others. Gauges blowing etc.
You have a good point and I am very tempted, but I have made that mistake before, and I just don't want to gamble with this.
Thanks!
