Hi!
I'm setting up a planted 75-gallon discus aquarium and want to include a CO2 system.
What should I be looking for in terms of the various components?
Where could I purchase a CO2 pressure tank in Nepean/Ottawa?
Also, with respect to discus, is there a local breeder(s) for choice discus (e.g. exotic colors, metallic blue, etc...)?
Your feedback will be appreciated.

A regulator with pressure gauges, a needle valve, a co2 cylinder obviously, a good check valve (leave the plastic ones at the store) a bubble counter is optional and a reactor. I`d suggest making your own.http://www.barrreport.com/gallery/showimage.php?i=1
Leave the controlers and junk on the shelf. Get co2 proof tubing though.
Isn`t there like www.ottawadiscus.com or something?

About 130$ (http://ovas.ca/bridge/phpBB/viewtopic.php?p=34632#34632) for a used 10 lbs CO2 tank at
Davidson's Fire Extinguishers (http://www.davidsonfireextinguishers.ca/index.htm/). CO2 regulator kit available from
Mops (http://www.mops.ca/cgi-bin/SoftCart.exe/cshop/COBL-CO2Kit.html?L+scstore+vvcx7389ff3d1c3d+1126020712).
May be a stupid question, but can I just buy a new fire extinguisher from the canadian tire and use that?
5 lbs @ Canadian Tire is $ 60
for the regulator you should check out ebay, they usualy have them there, with buble counter, solonide, neddle valve, and co2 tubing, they go for around $70 american, wich is a pritty good deal, especialy since our $ is high.
