Co2 fire extinguisher

[Chops]

I have a full 2kg co2 fire extiguisher and wondered if it was safe to use in the aquarium?
Also wondered how and what id need to convert it so it would be usable.. ie,regulators,fittings and fixtures.
Any help is much appreciated.

Failing that ill just dose liquid carb and ferts.
Thanks

Yes, most people (including myself) use 2KG FEs. Just get a standard Co2 regulator with a DIN477 fitting and attach this to the thread of the FE

Something like this is ideal. Cheaper, more basic ones are also available. You'll also need a diffuser and Co2 tubing, and a drop checker.
