Wanted to trade: Co2 tank

[Mr Bojangles]

here is my situation, I have everything under my stand now and I am upgrading to a new NW-200 skimmer soon and adding a 25g tank for it. My current Co2 tank is a 20lb tank and has 1000lbs still in it. But I need something smaller to fit under my new stand setup, just wondering if anyone wants to trade for a smaller tank for a larger one.

NOTE: the tank in the pic shows the old one before I swapped it out, the new one is silver

how much smaller do you want to go?

I have a 5lb CO2 tank somewhere at my house. I'll locate it after work today and I would trade you...don't know if it is full (probably), but compressed gas solutions will do it for 5-10...

I also have a 5lber I'll trade. Upgrading to a larger tank and CA reactor and could use it.

 

[Mr Bojangles]

do you guys know the dimensions of your tanks?

 

[mrcrab]

Mr Bo;

5lb co2 cylinder is 5" in Diameter and 17.5 inches high.

 

[mrcrab]

Have you made a decision?

 

[Mr Bojangles]

yes, some one local just came and got it today from RC, but I did talk to some gas companies around here and they said that if you bring them a Co2 tank any size they will exchange it. The explained that a 5lb and 20lb tank cost them the same so they dont care what size you bring in. I originally had a 15lb and switched it for the 20lb that way.

I was thinking that after I got mine filled yesterday. Thanks for the info.

does anyone know if a company in orlando does that? because most of the ones that i called had a different price for their 10lbs.

I get my 5 lb. CO2 filled at Aerogas. It costs around $12 and they fill it while I wait, never more than about 5 minutes. Great guys, small shop and friendly. They are between John Young Pkwy. and Orange Blossom Trail on Silver Star, 2207 Silver Star Rd.
