Things l learned from my Co2 experience: (see end for the most important one) 1. Always get dual stage regulators (like you said people are get confused with dual gauge) 2. Get a quality co2 tank not used (mine is UNS) 3. Always check the bubble counter everyday for the first week and check regularly after on any movement. These things get out of balance with the slightest touch or movement of the regulator or co2 tank 4. THE MOST IMPORTANT POINT: When newly setting up or changing your co2 BPS and you notice that the drop checker always is green or slightly yellow after the co2 turns off (give it 3 hours to get a reading) OR if you use the 1 PH drop method and notice PH isn't coming back up, then you have an oxygenation issue. To fix this, you need more water surface movement to get rid of the co2 and bring oxygen into the tank which will increase the PH level back to normal. Remember, plants don't make oxygen at night, so your fish might be normal during the day, but at night they will be gasping when you are asleep.
Congrats on your 100th video! These videos are excellent!!! Because of your videos, I will be buying from you.

Great points and summary thank you!
Great video, Thank you
Thank you for the feed back. Let me know what other videos to create
Thank you for this clear, easy-to-follow explanation of how to use a CO2 system in fish tanks. It was very helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
congrats on your 100, will visit soon for my co2 refill !
Thank you! See you !
is there any chance of a co2 canister exploding? I want to start a planted co2 tank, but them busting is my biggest fear.
Hi, CO2 tanks are the same as a fire extinguisher. Most fire extinguishers are compressed CO2 (ABC Rated).
Am I too late to get the CO2 discount😂😂😂😂
Nope
