Hiya,
Having kept "low tech" aquariums for several years now, I'd like to try my hand at "high tech" aquariums. I would like to buy a CO2 system, but the pre-made systems are very expensive, or only come with a 500g cylinder. So I've been doing my research and have decided to go the fire extinguisher route, but have a few questions:
I've seen it mentioned a couple of times that co2 fe's have an internal pipe that can be removed to use it with aquariums - is this a must? or is it just helpful to do?
Would this regulator be ok to fit straight to an fe? I know it's not dual-gauge, but I think I should manage ok with this one:
Aquarium CO2 Regulator with Solenoid Magnetic Valve | CO2Art.co.uk - CO2 Aquarium Specialists
Does anyone know of a place to refill fe's in the wirral/chester/liverpool area? I know the green machine, but it's a bit of a journey to do everytime!
Thanks in advance for your help,
Josh
