Trade 20lb for 10lb aluminum co2 tank

[saurus]

I have a 20lb co2 tank pretty full but I have reconfigured my sump area and a 10lb tank would fit better. This is a aluminum 20lb tank stamped about a year and a half ago. I am looking for a 10lb aluminum tank stamped within 2 years or so.

Thanks for looking,

Clint

I just picked up a used reactor this weekend w/ a 10 lb alum. tank. I'll check the stamp.

What are the dimensions of your tank? It may not fit under my stand.

Thanks.

Charles, I think that is a 5lb tank. I could be wrong though.

I looked at the bottle, but I couldn't decipher the numbers on the actual tank.

Is there a group of numbers I should be looking for?

Thanks.

Charles, If you remember what my 20lb bottle looks like. The 10 lb is usually the same diameter 8.5" but shorter. The 5 lb is normally around the same height as a 10 lb but only about 6.5" in diameter.

I have a 10lb or 5lb? I don't want to waste this guys time if I'm not even in the ballpark.. :eek2:

If you measure the diameter of the tank you should know if it is a 5 or 10lb'er. Like Greg said, the 5lb'er is about 6" in diameter and the 10lb'er is about 8.5" in diameter.
