Best Co2 Set Up???

It's debatable. I personally think Milwaukee are fine,but there are definetley more pricey ones out there.Some say the more expensive ones are better. It really comes down to the needle valve,IMO. I have a Red Sea paintball CO2,as well as a Milwaukee,and have never had a problem with either.
But I have heard people argue that Sumo,or GLA are the best.

get yourself a 5lb. co2 tank and connect it to this: http://www.aquabuys.com/page/aqb/PROD/co2_kit_basic
the most cost effective system there is. pressurized co2 is the best!

The one fish geek linked would be fine,good price too.I would get the biggest CO2 tank you can hide.The less you have to fill the easier. Glass diffusers only work well on smaller tanks. How big is your tank?
Thats the thing, currently its 60 gallons but this site talked me into skipping the 150 gal and straight to the 300 gal. Is there a system I could get for the 60 and upgrade for the 300? And on a side note the wify isnt happy about the 300 gallon so I talked her into a wall tank. (Meaning I replace a wall with a built tank) Im thinking this wall would be about 800 to 1200 gallons. Good thing we dont plan on selling the house LOL
For 300 gallons you will need more than one tank and regulator.
EDIT: re-read your post.
For 800 to 1200 gallons,you will need many regulators and tanks.
I would diffuse it with a cannister,powerhead,or a CO2 reactor in a 60g or bigger.A glass diffuser won't cut it.

There's several several plants that will thrive with out any co2.
I would not try to do a hightech set up with large predatory bass in the tank. The aquascape will not last very long.
If it were me I would do some amazon swords and anacharis and drift wood. Get a good amount of lighting and you will get some great results.

Adding pressurized CO2 does not make a tank high tech.
I missed the part about the bass. Probably not a good idea to have plants with them IMO.

What does?
When you have a set up that needs Co2 injection this means that you allready have a High tech light set up. And that your plants are on the high end of the scale as far as required care needed.
IMO the definition of high tech planted aquarium would be if you need/have a
High WPG PC or t5ho light set up
Pressureized Co2 injection
harder to care for plants
If I am wrong, then what low light plants NEED co2 injection? Because low light usually means low tech.
