Thoughts on Fluval Flora?

[joraejay]

I'm interested in purchasing a small planted tank and ran into this at my local fish store. It's called the Fluval Flora, wondered what you think of it? If it's worth the money at 109.00... I think the CO2 refills are 19.99 for a pack of 3.

if you're willing to spend a couple bucks more, its a nice combo. but you can find all the same stuff (and better) for less than $100

looks like a awesome little ready made kit.

My LFS just got these in. Im going to buy the CO2 kit buy itself.

I vote for you to be the Guinea pig and tell us all about it!

I would love to know how long those Co2 refills last. My paintball 20oz tank lasts 3-4 days if I run 2 bubbles per sec. for 10 hours. You'll be using a lot less on that tank tho.

Maybe this Friday I'll pick it up. I've never ran a planted tank before so this will be interesting... I'll let you know if I do and how it goes.

I saw that too at my LFS at 109.00. I didn't know growing a shrimp habitat was popular...
