Saw an ad and I'm looking to buy a CO2 set upFor my 60P No idea if this is good. Is it worth it? ($110) or should I just buy a new system. I'm not trying to pay over $250 I just want to be able to grow a carpet so if you have any systems you recommend thanks

This is the photo in the ad.
It says it's a 2.5g tank for 10-20g.

So this carpet will get me what I want in a 17g tank?

We all have our likes/dislikes so here is mine. That is a very small CO2 tank and will require more time and effort to get it refilled much more often than a larger tank. Since the price of gas is based more on the labor of refilling the tank, you will be paying way more per pound and doing the labor more often. Changing out tanks is when I find things get broken or I leave a leak and lose a full tank of CO2.
So the question are more on the long term effects on my budget and my time. Save a bit now or saving a fair amount over time?

You can go to green leaf and buy top of the art for just a few more dollars and it will last you for life

You can get an Aquatek regulator for about $90, and refubrished 20 lb CO2 tank for about $100. So, for under $200, you can have super setup that you have to recharge maybe 1X per year.
