    Default CO2 newbie

    planning a larger tank and also a venture into the world of pressurized CO2.
    I did a bit of research on the internet but I did not really understand much, so I am turning towards the forum for help

    anyone here have experience with pressurized CO2? what parts would I need and what are their roles? any recommended brands or sources for components?

    thanks a lot!

    Can't help you with the CO2 because I do not use it with my planted tanks. CO2 is only needed with higher light set-ups.
