    I suggest go to a good shop to buy the CO2 tank if you are really a noob in this part . Cheaper one could mean that they are near to expiry date. I forgot how long before we need to change the tank.

    Try at NA (Nature Aquarium). They do 1 to 1 exchange for their tank when you refill Co2. I find that their Co2 tank price are lower than others. Hope it helps.

    what's your budget? if you are really gonna go into planted tanks, i would recommend the ANS advance co2 set. it has solenoid. Should be slightly below 200. Many places can get too.

    Low budget? Go low tech ...no need co2 injection with careful selection of plants....

    Re: price guide of CO2 tank

    Rather then worrying about the price diff. I think your main corner should be the reliability, warranty and support of the seller/equipment.

    Locally, there is only a few LFS with online shopping option and you can pretty much gauge for yourself the prices of what you need.

    A premium of say 10% higher is well worth it if you buy from a good retailer. Some shops are cheap but buy n F off....

    Generally for regulator, the price equal the brand and precision it offer. Reliability too but I personally feel it more of a luck thingy

    I won't use the word 'Worry', the point is, to know the price and being able to plan around it.

    Just got a 3.5L from NA today at 75. I like the immediate tank swap during topup method much better. No need to wait, and tanks are maintained.

    Re: price guide of CO2 tank

    Try to get something bigger like a 5L.

    Its cheaper to fill in the long run and it last longer in between re-fills.
