FT filled 20lb CO2 tank for smaller (shorter) CO2 tank (So. Cal)

[zzyzx85]

I got a filled 20lb aluminum CO2 tank before I knew how much space I had available. :headshake2:

Tempted to make a bottle stand that would lean the bottle but that sounds like an equipment failure and a disaster waiting to happen so I'll just trade for a shorter, smaller capacity tank.

Will trade for: 5lb and/or 10lb (preferably aluminum, filled or empty) + cash, depending on offer.

Located in Cypress (Orange County), S. California.

i have a 5 pounder if you want to trade that plus plants fish or wood for. i just use it as a spare.

I have a full 5lb'er Shiny Aluminum. + Plants/Fish/Inverts????
I sure could use a 20#'er since I'm feeding 6 tanks-soon to be 9

question to both: what size tank was the 5lb hooked up to, bubble rate, and how long did it last?

 

[Mgamer20o0]

i use mine as back ups for when my others run out/get low. mines Shiny Aluminum too take that ford hahhahahaha

with an absolute max of 24" under the tank, I think a 5lb would be the safest bet without running into issues. NeonFlux offered to trade his 10lb but at 20" tall and having a large Victor reg, I might be pushing my luck.

MG, you have my attention. (sorry FTM; you have pick when my 20 becomes available.)

How old is the cylinder? I'm looking for fish (maybe apistos and more embers) and driftwood but it'll be a few weeks before my new tank is up and running.

Multiple tanks, Total gallons is about 190. I'm not even gonna guess at a bubble rate. I pump way more C02 than you can imagine, since it is what fuels plant growth. Drop checkers are all very light green except the high light tank. It's yellow/green. 5lb lasts 3 months. You should get 6-9 months out of a 5#.

Clearance on 5# w/victor dual stage reg. mounted horizontally with a stove pipe bubble counter is 21.5" - 22"

No worries ZZ, he was first. Besides he's worthy.
