Not quite sure, but with this regulator, co2 tubing, a fire extinguisher and diffuser would I have everything I need for a co2 kit?

Just a quick clarification, the picture depicts a single stage regulator, not dual. There's a huge difference. I would ditch the fire extinguisher and get a proper co2 cylinder/bottle, and a bunch of check valves, an inline bubble counter and a separate timer (separate from your lights).The one you linked appears to be a dual stage regulator with solenoid and precision needle valve. You may want a bubble counter but they are practically useless unless your aquarium is around 20 gallons or below.
From what I have seen they are a lot more then making it yourself.I am also looking into adding pressurized co2, are there any ready to go setups avilable that are worth it.
It's fine. It'll work on any size aquarium. But look into an inline bubble counter.So would the one I showed be fine for my 16gal tank? And does the air tubing come out of that or do i need to buy anything else? And yeah I don't use a check valve on my DIY setup and had a syphon accident so I would definatly get one, also the description that you can't see says fits a UK etc fire extinguisher, Thanks.
Okay, Thanks all.It's fine. It'll work on any size aquarium. But look into an inline bubble counter.
