This thread is all good, but i got a free jbl proflora 2 from a mate. If i damage my regulator, have to replace and i have heard that you can only use offical jbl one as they need to fix my solonid. I have also heard that FE are not 100% co2 and carry some flame retarded chemicals in them. This...

co2 are liquid devliery not vapour, so was worried about damaging my regulator+ i wanted a spare bottle because i can not find a LFS which carry bottle in stock, only send away to refil. This takes a week if i time it right and some time if my bottle runs out on a saturday, i have too wait until...

i lost all my amano a few weeks ago. had mine for three years and they were massive. I think i ave pinned it down to a hot water change. Hot water pipes have a higher copper content. this is worst in new house. Strange 4 of your and cherry are fine. I am sure things will sort themselves out...
