Hey there...you getting serious about plants?  :) I'm going to set up with a CO2 tank soon...just got to locate one with good regulators...oh...and finally get this 40g sold so I have the money to do it... |^|

What is the reactor you're mentioning? Is it a yeast/sugar water setup?

I've had paintball units set up on one of my tanks back in WA. It was okay, but you really need a good regulator on the system so you can control the CO2 flow...

...this next one will be a 5, 10 or 20# tank so I don't have to fill it as often as the paintball deals...
