    Ok I tried, I really did try, to figure out how I would attach those, without seeing it in person though, I wouldn't be able to say for sure what I would do.


    Just start connecting the pieces together and see what looks good at the end, it seems like, looking at the bottom picture, the center piece connects the two outer pieces together and the c02 either connects onto the bottom of the left piece, the wierd tubey thing in the center or the bottom of the right piece with the center also acting as a cap for either the left or right side.

      It looks like a reactor of some sort that goes inside the tank......all of it actually look prehistoric! the co2 is a paintball setup with a not so up to date regulator/valve.

      I would probably ditch the plastic stuff since that will take up a lot of space in the tank and I would invest in a good bubble counter if you plan on useing the regulator so you can actually count the rate it's going at. Gander Mtn or whereever that refills paintball will refill it or exchange it if it's too old.

      let me ask some others to see if they can better explain the items you got.

            Yup sure is. My question is where did you get it? I sold one off like that a while back is why I'm curious.

              I got it from a friend while acquiring one of his tanks.  He hasn't used it in a long time if ever.

                The Tetra Co2 system is not the best looking  but it works! With low light to medium light planted aquariums.
                To operate is easy, the chambers you see on the left side of the picture, called bells work by filling them with co2 once or twice a day the bigger the tank the more bells you will need. The co2 cylinder is only used to refill the bells and this needs to be done by hand.
                The co2 will slowly be absorbed by the water and will have to be refilled as needed.
                The rest of the equipment on the picture is not from Tetra so only the owner knows how to run it I guess.
