My 30l planted with custom background

The back ground looks awesome ,,, if i have a 1.2 x 45 x 45 tank what size co2 would i need to get ....

 

I just put it back together to give breeding cockatoo dwarfs a try, no fancy plants just ones that grow fast and keep the water clean. At the moment the only fauna in there are 4 malaysian trumpet snails for the next few days, altho i used water from my 1.2m and filled the filter with the filter material from my 1.2m too, i still want to wait a few days before i move my apistos. As u can see i am having a little trouble getting the temp right i have turned the heater all the way down and still it is @ 27C, hopefully it will have fixed itself by the morning.
Anyways i have jabbered enough so here are some pictures.
Oh and bear in mind these were taken about an hour after i filled it (should clear up soon).

 

How well does that CO2 system work? How long does a refill normally last?
TIA

 

looking nice, i esp like the black sand

btw, the digi therm. would be better if you wired/stuck it on the left of the tank front panel, that way you dont get that diagonal piece of wire showing up from front view on pics

other than that, looking forward to seeing progress fish breeding wise

 

I never noticed any notable change when i had the tank set up before but i got the thing so i figured it cant hurt, its only gonna be in there till i get fish in there.

Thanx, i like the black sand too, looks cool and a dark substrate will make your fish more comfortable and some even say it makes their colours come out more too.
I usualy have it on the side of the tank where it is completely out of site, its just there so i can easily monitor the temp till it settles

 

New spawn

Was just watching my fish and mom decided to bring out 20 odd babies out for the first time. Pics not 100% clear but my camera wont focus on them, they are the whit blobs with black dots on them about 1.5mm long...
