i haven't been able to find one that is 2nd hand

i think i might opt for soda stream 60l bottle there on special at briscoes for $35 just till i can find something bigger for a reasonable price

[Thinking about adding a pressurized co2 system]

[Thinking about adding a pressurized co2 system]

would this work?

i would buy the regulator/solenoid then find a gas bottle locally

Is it a must to have duel gauges or could you get away with one?

[Thinking about adding a pressurized co2 system]

I am currently running a DIY system at 1-2 bps

I have a aqua one 620

I would like to upgrade

Just wondering what are my options, i would prefer something with a solenoid be hooked up to a timer 

Is there anything currently on trade me?

I don't mind using a soda stream cylinder

I found JBL Manado Aquarium Substrate on trade me, was that what you were thinking of?

I don't need a cap of sand or gravel

[Substrate]

I think i need a bit for experience before going for a dirted tank, I was looking for the "all in one" kind of substrate that will allow me to grow something like amazon swords, I might just settle for putting in some root tabs for now.

I am new to this fish keeping hobby, I have a AR 620 tank with 5 neons, a few live plants and driftwood. (low tech)

In the future i would like to improve from gravel to something a bit better to help my plants grow.

I am wondering what is there available in New Zealand, do we have eco complete or something similar?

Further down the line i would like to improve the lighting as well, right now there are 2 t8s 6700kea.

Thanks
