I Love My Little Brother!

That's quite a cool setup, actually. Particularly impressed with the inline diffusor. Would be very keen to know how long one bottle lasts at a given bubble rate (speaking of which, I see no bubble counter...how do you guage the bps? Do you have a drop checker in the tank??). Also, how much was the solenoid and valve sytem...? Priced one of these bottles at Bunnings on Saturday, $75, which I actually thought was a little steep for such a small unit. Still, add the cost of the ancillaries and you'd come out under $250, I'd reckon... Whether it was cost effective against a large bottle, would depend on how often you needed to refill it in a year...

Well i did have a bubble counter on there but we took it off cus u can see it in the diffuser. Um a bottle lasts about three months and it only costs me 15 each time get a new one cus its like a swap and go system. And yeah there is a co2 indicator in the tank to show u the level going in there. The solanoid and regulator was a bit expensive but thats the only safe and sure way ur co2 is goin to work. How ever he still shaved about $200 off the price of a kit.

hay nice setup glad to see u got it up and running. but there right its not a diy setup all thats diferent is the bottle the rest of is legit so i agree with them its not a diy all u did was put an extra Brass fitting on the bottle. (which u cant just walk into a bunnings and buy a co2 bottle for $15) what happend was ali brother walked in to bunnings ask for a bottle to get fittings for it and when he walked back up to the counter he told them he wanted to exchange it for a full one. so the 15 dollars was the refill price. just wanted to clear that up oh yer Bn tank is going great i got about 30 5cm Bn fry i need to get rid of lol

so doing it this way your probly only saving about 100 buck for something the only last 3 months
