>>I don't agree with  you guys that a CO2 tank is a big expense.   I bought  
>>one
from a welding gas supply shop for $60 and refills are $20  for a 20 lb tank
that lasts a long time.  There are several regulators  on the market that
aren't fancy - they have a preset outlet pressure (vs.  adjustable) with a
needle valve and solenoid valve all in  one.<<

How many years ago did you buy this? I bought a ten  pounder for around 70, 
and a 20 pounder for 80 something ten years ago.  Last year when I went out 
shopping for them again at local welding  suppliers I couldn't even get a 
five pounder for under a hundred  dollars.   Its all relative I guess. You 
either pay now or pay  later. With a paintball system you can get up and 
running for well under  $100.  It will cost you five dollars a month for the 
refills.   Five dollars a month  compared to 40-50 dollars a month using 
Carbo  Plus.

Yikes.........guess prices did go up  ....a lot.   Maybe I got the "girl" in
the welding shop  discount?   It was a nice tank.   How long does a  paint
ball tank  last?

Some pond supply  catalogs sell little cubes of the stuff.   Never  used
it........try Dr. Foster's and Smith.  It's on sale.  Half  pound for $10.

So what exactly is your problem?   Perhaps we  can help you solve it another
way?

Hi, 
If black algae is caused by lack of nitrogen, what causes the brown  form?
