HOLY CRAP rm 900 for a c02 system?? How big is that tank ?
Even with a solenoid, I doubt a normal c02 tank can cost that much. Maybe L or XL sized tanks.. but I don't recall seeing such products in Cty.
Plus, what grade is the shrimp you bought? Care to show some pics??
I notice a lot of Penang aquascapers here, they're sorta dominating this thread :S
And many are customers of CTY. Boy wouldn't they be happy to have you guys to buy their stuff

Drew bro,
yes....there is such thing as that expensive actually. i saw a co2 set wrapped and covered like battery package at Pet Family but i dont really recall the brand but the package have green color for their brand. they do cost almost 1k. crazy stuff tho..but IMO, it's just a fancy stuff that you can actually replace with typical co2 tank and regulator. It's like you're comparing the DIY co2 and the fancy green cap bottle with ladder thingy to show your co2 bubble going up plus the co2 mixing powder which you need for the mixture tho.
the tank for it is not that big. it's roughly like the normal 2l (or 1.5l).. kinda small. with a fancy looking solenoid regulator (yeah, the knob looks sooooo comfortable to hold when you turn it on and off..

), with a diffusor that have a glass coil inside to show the bubbles going up, a bubble counter hmm...and i dunno what more...i "think" got some airhose and check valves too... not really sure. but yes, they do mentioned that's a complete co2 set. well..of course it's complete. LOL~!.... otherwise people will throw the tank to the seller if they cant get a co2 system working after paying that big bucks.
anyway, adrian bro....if i'm talking about the same thing as you saw in CTY and if i do have the cash to buy that thing, i will just buy a typical co2 solenoid system seperately. perhaps, i can even get 2 sets with that price. but hey....they do won something over the usual co2 tank and regulator with that price.... a fancy packaging and a brand embossed at the items and equipments.

and dont forget the comfortable knob to turn on and off the solenoid regulator.

What is CRS?
I saw from Fishop selling a small C02 tank, around RM200 for whole set and suitable for small tanks.
I am thinking of making a yeast C02, do I need a diffuser or an airstone?
CRS = Crystal Red Shrimp (i think....please correct me if im wrong dear fellow shrimpers).
whole set? what the set have? how small is it? does it comes with a regulator? if at least a tank + a regulator for that price, please let me know where did u saw that

yeast co2 or whateva type of co2, a diffusor is highly recommended. yes airstone still can be use as well. at least better than have nothing, BUT... it's greatly not-recommended because airstone cant diffuse the co2 as fine as actual co2 diffuser. i only will use an airstone (yes i always have one of them for emergency use anytime) when i accidentally break my diffuser at night when i do maintenance or cleaning up. But for sure I'll straight run to any LFS and get myself another diffuser on the next day (this method is useful for me when i only get back home at 8pm after weekdays while my tank still need co2 for that day photo-period). heh...but luckily, i never had to do this so far

..... or erm...in other words, get urself a diffuser. it's not that expensive anyway.

p/s: your blue guppy looks nice.
