Hi from San Jose, CA. - Introductions and Greets

Hello everyone! My search skills are lacking. I am new to this high tech Co2 yackety schmackety.

I just had a custom tank made. I'm planning on a heavily planted tank so that my cherry shrimp, ember tetras and celestial danios will be happy.

Stuff I have so far:

2 48" T5HO with 1x6500k and 1x12000k lamps
60"x8"x12" 24 gallon tank
MA957 Co2 regulator with 10lb Co2 tank
Lighting timer
100 watt heater
3 sponge filters with air pump
1 Fluval 4+ filter
2 bags Amazonia soil

Nothing is set up because I am still waiting for my tank to cure.

How do I set up my pressurized Co2? What else do I need besides the regulator/tank?

Sorry about the noob questions.

Hi frigginchi,

Welcome to APC! This is a great site with excellent information and friendly people to help if you need it. It looks like you have most of the basics to set up a planted aquarium. Why not post your question in the "New to Planted Aquariums" or the "Equipment" forums for more responses. Glad you joined!

Looks like a great tank! SJ represent! haha

I go to SJSU but live in South San Francisco, CA. Check out SFBAAPS forums if you get a chance. It's for local Bay Area members and we have lots of great meets and events!
