I got the CO2 tank from the recharge center here in calgary. The regulator/solenoid/needlevalve combo came from J&L, along with the milwaukee meter. The CO2's set up so it's on the controller, AND it won't turn on while the lights are off. I think there was trouble with there being low oxygen at night.

ATM I'm using a DIY diffuser. It's a gravel vac hooked up to a maxijet with a hole drilled into the vac for the CO2 line in. I should really put an airstone on it, but I've been too lazy. I crammed a length of 1.5" pipe onto the gravel vac to make it a little longer. The CO2 diffusers in the industry aren't that great.

It's not QUITE doing the job to diffuse the CO2 for such a heavy plant load, but it's functional ok ATM.
