simple co2 setup

moorin · 06-16-2009, 10:00 AM

currently in my 15 gallon tank i have being using a shop bought kit which consists of a co2 canister with a silicon tube to a diffuser which i have to maunally fill and thne leave over night, even though this method might work i have not really looked into the whole co2 setup situation.

what is a basic setup using off the shelf gear consist of?
and also do you leave it running constantly?
how do i check the co2 levels?

pictures of peoples set ups would help if possible.

thanks

different people using different setup. For me, my setup consist of CO2 tank, CO2 regulator (step down the pressure from ~1000psi to ~25psi), solenoid (to outomatically turn ON/OFF) and CO2 reactor.

Normally you use drop checker to estimate the CO2 level in your tank.
