fluval pressurized co2

[oscardelahoya]

I was wondering if anyone on here has used one of these?

It will be on a 10 gallon lightly planted with java moss. Lighting will either be a marineland led or a corlaife t5 ho.

Thanks for any input

I use the bubble counter and diffuser and they work great but I believe the small tank that kit uses would run out very quickly when used on a ten gallon.

I would get this and replace the bubble counter and diffuser to if you want and get a 5lb (or larger) co2 tank locally: http://www.fosterandsmithaquatics.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=3578+3747+9935&pcatid=9935

Dang!! I can get a CO2 tank easy. I would have loved to buy that kit. I just ordered the fluval kit with the little 88g cartridges. Hopefully it was worth it.

they are nice if you dont have room for a reg co2 bottle. though i would still run a paintball bottle over that as well. it wont be cheap to run long term.

Yeah I wonder if I can modify they setup to incorporate a small 9oz paintball co2 tank. I also wonder if the little 88g co2 cartridges are easily obtainable from places other than haagen

i believe most of the time they make it so you have to go with their set up. they make more money this way though i could be wrong.

Check it out. Let me know what you think. I'll do a review once I get it installed.

There are adapters, but so far no one with one of the Fluval kits has tried one and posted the results. There are lots of speculative posts but no experience.

I've been curious about this product myself lately. I actually saw it at a lfs and they were charging $150 for this kit. Good thing I didn't get it, lol. I don't know why, but playing around wit CO2 seems so intimidating to me.
