Hi guys, I'm looking for a straightforward CO2 system to hook up to a tank. Something simple and easy to use would be great, as I've only had experience with the Tropica 60 system. An all-in-one system would be ideal, if anyone has any recommendations.

Re: the best co2 system on a budget of £100
Considering your previous thread, I thought I'd ask, do you really need a CO2 system? With fish, it's not the best idea; there's evidence that adding diffused CO2 can harm them. Most tanks with fish don't need it since organic decomposition produces more natural CO2 than you think.

My tank's gonna be a planted one, lots of plants that need CO2.boomer wrote: ↑Fri Jun 09, 2023 10:01 pm Considering your previous thread, I thought I'd ask, do you really need a CO2 system?

When it comes to my tanks, I prioritize the well-being of my fish, as they're the main attraction. The plants are there to complement them and enhance the overall aesthetic, but the fish come first in my book.azurion wrote: ↑Fri Jun 09, 2023 9:46 pm Title.

I'd say having unregulated CO2 in a tank can indeed be hazardous, it significantly impacts water chemistry and CO2 dissolution rates. But then again, the same principle applies to Oxygen - in its pure form, it's toxic. As long as you regulate CO2 input and introduce oxygen via air pumps, I think you can maintain a balance that doesn't harm the fish.
