San Francisco (or upper pennisula) places that sell CO2 tanks (filled)

[sfsuphysics]

Ok I'm tired of waiting for that odd ball person to sell a CO2 tank only to have it snatched up by someone who'll never end up using it (or atleast this is what I keep telling myself to make me feel better ), I want a CO2 tank, from a place that will or has the capacity to fill it, I would prefer a new tank especially if I'm going to be paying new tank money which means no "call this place to see if they have a used/refurbished one..".

I've found one place online SF Brewcraft, but they only seem to sell a 5lbs aluminum one for $80 which is fine I guess, but from what I gather they aren't that much more expensive for 10lbs worth so I'd like to bump it up a notch.

Check out the info on the sfbaaps site, http://www.sfbaaps.com/ref.html. There is a complete list of CO2 resources for planted tanks. There are a couple of locations near me in Walnut Creek but that would be a haul for you. Good luck. James

Hey Mike, did you call SF Brewcraft? I picked up my USED, FILLED 20lb tank from them (3 years ago) for $80. They might have NEW 10's that they might not advertise online. In anycase, I'm sure they can get what you want if you talk to the guy.

I got (2) tanks for sale. I'll sell it to you and you only unless you say boo. If that makes you feel better. Not full, but I could have it filled. 20# and 5#.

Oooh, me and only me? I feel so special

How much for each? I would appreciate the filling as it makes one less stop I need to do. I would love a shiny new aluminium one, but as long as the thing doesn't leak no big deal

good thing about the non-shiny, old crappy ones are that if you go to a "swap" place, you'll likely get a better tank than you started with! (Besides, who looks at their co2 tank?)

20# ones are BIG and heavy (they carry 20lbs of CO2, but the tank itself is pretty heavy!) like a scuba tank. You have to at least pretend to try and protect it from earthquake damage. Though for re-filling, I think a 20# is cheaper (pound for pound) than the 5# (volume discount, ya know).
