WTB: inexpensive CO2 tank

kakkoii · 03-11-2008, 11:46 AM

As the title says I want to buy an inexpensive co2 cylinder 5 lbs.-10lbs.

It can be used or look like... as long as it works well.

Budget: <$50 shipped.

TIA!

Wow you are talikng cheap. These things are heavy for them to be shipped for cost plus ship at $50..Good luck kakkoii

Get one at a welding supply store they run about 60 bucks maybe 80. Will be a lot cheeper than paying $50 bucks and then $50 bucks shipped.

kakkoii · 03-11-2008, 12:34 PM

the lowest price for one around here is $83!

Pat7676 · 03-11-2008, 12:36 PM

Still better than paying 100 bucks.

kakkoii · 03-11-2008, 12:41 PM

yeah, but I am paying for a whole bunch of other stuff.

Pat7676 · 03-11-2008, 12:50 PM

What other stuff you getting?

kakkoii · 03-11-2008, 01:15 PM

co2 reactor, co2 regulator and acc., aquasoil and powersand, plants, filter tubing, co2 tank(duh), etc...

Pat7676 · 03-11-2008, 02:04 PM

Where are you getting your regulator from?

**goalcreas** · 03-11-2008, 02:05 PM

get a 2.5lb.
Better then nothing.
Better then having paid for a bunch of stuff you can't use

kakkoii · 03-11-2008, 02:15 PM

ebay.

Pat7676 · 03-11-2008, 02:58 PM

Ok that is where i was going to say to get one from.

tinkerman · 03-11-2008, 08:29 PM

Have you checked your local fire exstingiser(sure not spelled right) place? In my town I could get a used 5 lb bottle for $40 from this type of place.

kakkoii · 03-11-2008, 11:08 PM

is it a co2 tank or fire extinguisher?????

**Orlando** · 03-11-2008, 11:19 PM

Nope.

tinkerman · 03-16-2008, 01:36 AM

It was a old fire exstinisher that you could add the knod to for a reg hook up. Sorry fogot I posted on this.

Did you ever find a CO2 tank? You could also try the craigslist.org you might get lucky and find someone selling one cheap. Otherwise, $83 isn't too bad a price..you just gotta pack some lunches for a few weeks.
