Today while waiting to get my 2 lb CO2 bottle filled at a welding shop, I
inquired about a 10 lb bottle. The discussion led to building a CO2
system. The individual I talked to said he would be able to supply the
bottle, valve, regulator and gauges for somewhere around $250. To get a
manual system you would also need a needle valve to regulate the supply to
the aquarium. FYI, I add CO2 continuously using a needle valve to control
the rate. This has worked very well for almost 3 years.
If you have any welding shops near you, take the catalog and see what they
can do.
