Default Cost of CO2

Pardon me for asking.
I had read throught most of the threads and found that it is around 4200-300 to get co2 for my planted tank.
Just to check is there any cheaper co2 around?
thank you in advance

I think the tank 2L costs about $50, the electrical solenoid costs about $80.

I also believe the cost is around this range for a non-branded solenoid regulator. Nearer S$200 may include additional stuff like bubble counter, check valves, tubing and difussor.
