That is the kit. My question is basically whats it really worth. There is one for sale locally on CL new for 50 bucks (its the same kit, but the guy never converter the tank from Salt to Planted so he never used it).

My largest tank is a 37g & I dont really have any ambition to go any larger. My plants are all surviving without any Co2 at all.

So planted tank gods.. Is it worth it & what else will I have to realistically put into it.

for $50 it's worth it. wish it were for sale here on craigslist. Then again, if your plants are doing fine without, and you have no plans of adding more light probably not.

All you need is a 5lb tank, or a converter for a paintball tank. Check craigslist for tanks in your area. I see them cheap on craigslist from time to time.

If you can get it for $50.00 like new, I'd go for it. I use Victor Dual Stage that I built myself and of course prefer over this kit. But for $50.00, I'd go for it.

well if he still has it in a few days I will probably grab it.. Was going to today, except cynth posted up an Ebi with a ZooMed mini canister for sale for a price I couldn't pass up so my fish budget for the week is spent.
