RE: General Fishroom Questions



I have low cost needle valves that can be used to drive many tanks from one regulator, and no manifold is needed, you hook it up just like air tubing.

Well depends on how much you are looking to induce, and also people normally use a 5-10lb can of Co2, commonly used for beer taps. Secondly, in order to do multiple setup's it can be expensive. Normally gang valves, metal/plastic haven't been effective for myself on multiple setups. I use needlvalves on each tank. Which can be expensive on top of the regulator and bottle. The refilling of the bottle is the low cost, a 5lb can would probablly last you 2-3 months at normal rates, and only cost ~$7-10 to get it refilled. Hope this helps ya out- if ya get questions give me a yell!

Can't answer this one. Try the plant list?


Can someone direct me to the plant list?
