just wondering if the DIY CO2 tank can be converted to a pressurised CO2 tank? my DIY CO2 using citric/soda turns out not viable for the long run as it depletes so quickly, the most I could get is almost a week for the 2littre tank. really troublesome to keep mixing every week.

QUOTE(eddystorm @ Jan 5 2024, 11:34 PM) How many bubble per second? I'm using one for my small tank setting 1 bubble per second can last for 1 month plus. used to be 2bps but recently I cut it to 1 and still doesn't last long. now that you mentioned yours last longer I may have to check my line as I'm worried for leaks. I'm using the inline diffuser for 60p tank. how many gram citric/soda is your mix? |

QUOTE(Clueless07 @ Feb 2 2024, 09:31 AM) first glance, i say no. I've changed to pressurised CO2 and best decision ever. only if I knew that the tank requires tedious work on weekly basis I would have never bought the DIY and the price is similar to getting pressurised CO2. unless you live in a remote area where refill is impossible then maybe DIY if not best go with the normal CO2 system. hopefully any newbies out there thinking of getting DIY CO2 I advice strongly don't.sugar-yeast dont generate high pressure- so most likely the tank/regulator is of low pressure design ( unless u can confirm so) be safe and get a proper CO2 tank ( those like UP Aqua or something) try look for second hand one. complete set around rm 200 or so.... pressurized gas can be a bomb. even using a legit one... i still beware when open the valve every time i change the cylinder ( normally open it with my hand extended behind cabinet door- so face not direct) Ps- ys DIY CO2 need very rajin. and also need tune the flow when pressure run low? this cause flutuation on CO2 is a bad bad for your system .
