It would take quite a bit of fish to produce enough co2 to get the same results as a presurized co2 system. So yes, it would have to be way over stocked, so I would not recomend it.

It is cheaper to make your own presurized co2 system, but in terms of the yeast method, it is still expensize. Search the web for DIY presurized co2. I belive that www.thekrib.com has an article on it. Check out www.drsfostersmith.com , they have the complete setup for sale.

Also I wouldnt even consider any type of co2 injection unless there is enough lighting, at least 2.5 wpg, more would be better. And be prepared for the PH in the tank to drop, as co2 will do this.

Money's not an object...

... yet you ranted about the expensive costs of filter cartridges.



Anyways, to get on topic, goto http://www.bigalsonline.com, and do a keyword search for 'CO2'. I came up with a number of them.

One is a 'AQUA MEDIC CO2 REGULATOR'. Get a CO2 bottle from your local soda distributor. I don't know how much it will cost to rent such a tank, but, you said money was no object.

Another system was 'CARBO-PLUS CO2 SYSTEM'. It actually sounds quite interesting, and am curious to hear any reviews of it.

At the very least, any system you buy online you probably will have to get filled with CO2 locally, because most don't ship tanks filled due to the cost of shipping.

You can also find the tanks at welding shops and probably a farm supply store.


Wish I had somebody to buy all my fish stuff so I could say money isnt an object! I guess it is an object for me, just one I never see! LOL

MY Uncle has a meat business, gives me 10 bucks a week

My Aunt has no kids and i'm her favorite, she buys so much for me

My dad owns a restaunt in Seattle, Washington and sends me a lot of money every time we talk, which is not so often, maybe 2 times a year, but 600 bucks usually each time!!
