I'm going pressurized. Where's a place to get good equipment for not much money?

Craigslist! Search CO2 for Tanks & Regulators

You can get co2 tanks for cheap at beveragefactory.com

check out www.greenleafaquariums.com as well. They may not be the cheapest possible but the customer service is excellent and from what I hear the quality is good as well.

Greenleaf all the way. You get what you pay for - they are the best!

Well if you are looking for brand names instead of home built, consider Red Sea, Milwaukee, or Tunze.
Red Sea has a nice complete system that includes everything but the tank. Even includes a drop checker, that reads the C02 level in your water. The complete kit is a better deal than just buying the regulator by itself.

I was thinking to get this regulator but do you notice the connector is different? It is the oversea CO2 connector which Taiwan, Japan and other countries are using. The us one is different, ask them to see if they sell some kind of adaptor for it.
