First things would be is how big is your fish tank? Several of the paint ball set ups wont last long on anything bigger then 40 gallons. My 5lb set up last me 3 months. My 10lb 6 months and the 20lb unit I can get a year out of it. That would be on a 46 gallon tank. Also the amount of Co2 your going to need will depend on plant load and lighting. Also one thing to remember with Paint ball set ups and the reason why I wont use them is the pressure they are at is crazy. To get a solenoid so you can turn it off and on runs alot of money. More then $150 because they have to be high pressure solenoids. As Bradlgt21 mentioned A regulator takes the gas. Co2 thats in the tank around 800 to 1000PSI and reduces it to a workable pressure. The Paint ball set ups DO NOT do this. They are basically a high pressure valve and use the high pressure. TO me this is Dangerous and ive known some people that have had these burst/explode.i want to know if anyone here used this before, i am really low on budget i wont be able to buy a an expensive regulator..
Whats the cheapest regulator i can buy?
