Co2 system recommendations

I have a 55 gallon planted tank (hopefully will move into a 75 gallon tank in a year or two). I struggle with the plants doing well (even after fertilization and adjusting lights, etc). I would like to finally move into a co2 system. Any recommendations? I am leaning toward a grean leaf dual stage? Anyone use one of them?

I use this regulator

It's dual stage, but you really don't need both meters, so this only shown you the pressure on the working side. Regarding the cylinder side - who cares.

I pair this with a C02 cylinder from the local beverage supply. Get any size you wish. I use a 2 pound cylinder which will lat about 6 months. I set the needle valve to get a trickle of small bubbles. And I use a drop checker and keep it well below green, but with plants growing.

I run the C02 to a wood airstone and let that bubble up into the intake of the filter.

Plants go nuts!!


Almost Zero maintenance.

I ended up getting a gla system - without the canister. I can only find places that will switch out tanks so I need to go that route. Thank you for your feed back and wish me luck!
I have a GLA regulator, an older one, but it works great. it is similar to this one here: GLA PRO-DS-1 Dual Stage CO2 Regulator (Modular Manifold)

I also have a CO2art regulator and it is a quality regulator also: Pro-Elite Series The Most Advanced Aquarium Dual Stage CO2 Regulator

Pressurized CO2: Pressurized CO2...Just thought I'd share.
Thanks for the link re co2. I am heading over now to read ...

GLA regulators are good. You will not be disappointed.
