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.

I would also recommend gas, but I also know it is possible with a carbo plus
on a 55. I sold my 55 to a friend that invested in this and it works well.
I personally would not recommend it due to overall cost. The replacement
cartridge is expensive - in about 1 year you would have paid for a gas
system. With the carbo plus you need to watch your KH, it will be depleted
fast and your water will need some source of KH (like coral, limestone, or
dolomite in the filter)

I awash my 55 to a acquaintance that invested in this and it works well. I alone would not acclaim it due to all-embracing cost. The replacement cartridge is big-ticket - in about 1 year you would accept paid for a gas system. With the carbo additional you charge to watch your KH,
