Hi folks,

Can anyone fill me in on what size C02 canister would be best for a 120 litre tank. Also i'm looking at getting the canisters from the gas place in st helens that supplies pubs, what would i need to connect it up, regulator and bits wise and how long would a decent size canister last??. Any help would be much appreciated :D
 
I've got a 6kg bottle on my 250L tank,it has lasted 5 months already and seem to be going strong, i think this is the smallest bottle that gas places supply to pubs. I;d go with this if I was you.

The above are example of what to purchase - if you shop around you might be able to find items cheaper.
