Default pressurized or carbo plus??

Xref: 127.0.0.1 rec.aquaria.freshwater.plants:75368

Ok, I have got everything but the Co2 system figured out. I cant decide if
I should just get the JBJ kit (with reg, sol..) or get that Carbo Plus
system... anyone have any experience with the carbo plus? and good or bad
on the product... pros for either... cons for either and just your overall
suggustion as to which would be a better choice... thank you so much for
your time! - Josh
btw - the aquarium is a 55g, flourite mix, 130W light

Read my review he

I'd recommend going with the compressed system. It will be cheaper and easier
in the long term, especially with a tank the size of yours.

Pressurised - especially if you can find a cheap source of CO2 gas bottles.
I'd think your tank is too big for the C+ system anyway.

I second that. Have a look at http://www.dlink.org/aqua/CO2.html
You can consider clippard needle valve with the above setup.

Pressurized, or you'll be in for more work that it's all worth...

Take a look at my web site for information on what I use for pressurized co2
and lists of inexpensive sources for tanks and regulators. Also lots of
information on various needle valves.
