Make sure to have a solenoid if you want it to be hooked up to a timer
or want it to be used with a controller to stop the co2 if the ph
drops to much. Bubble counters are really nice but not a must.
If you but just a solenoid you WILL HAVE to buy a REGULATOR seperatly
attach it.
#2 You can get tanks used locally @ a fire ext shop or such. I am
having a sale @
http://www.AQUATIC-STORE.com on used tanks
#3 co2 needs to be dissapated in the water via a reactor or such see
the website for pics.
#4 with a solenoid hook it up to a standard houshold timer unit you
can get @ the hardware store
#5 as long as the plants are producing o2 and the co2 is not cranked
up and the co2 remains stable you will be fine.
Ph tend to drop with co2 but neons like lower co2 anyway

Hello! I am a beginner's beginner, I got a 90 gallon tank from my friend and
want to set up a planted tank with lots of neons...(look like will be
pretty...)
Anyway, I am getting some easy-grow/medium-easy-grow plants, but after
viewing some articles, I found out that I might need to support CO2. I have
a 220W Jalli light and a canister filter.
I want to ask :
1. What CO2 system should be better for me in this situation? I found
several CO2 SOLENOID DIAPHRAGM VALVE on ebay, sould I need to buy one of
them?
2. If I really need those valves, shoud I also purchase a CO2 tank? Where
could I purchase them, and where could I refill them if they are empty?
3.Even though if I have them all, how can I know the plant got them? I
mean, does the CO2 automacilly go into water???
4. Do I really can turn off the CO2 at night?
5. Would the Co2 affect neons? Or could you recommand some article about
CO2 and fishes?
Thanks a lot! Any information will be helpful!
