Don't do it. It's going to scratch like crazy.

Mitre 10? Bunnings?

How bad is the crack? Is it a moulded tank? Photos?

Clearly what he meant is it's good in theory but in practice it doesn't work.

Personally I'd buy a proper regulator and a 5kg bottle and be done with it. Nope, all propriaterly connectors.

Can you refill that bottle?

Freakin government. First, they doubled the ACC levies for motorcyclists by portraying the motorcyclists as baby-killing criminals to the general public, thus putting a dent in one of my hobbies. Now, they want my fish too. I see that recently, they've turned on bicyclists as well. I don't think we're far from a revolution.

And Ebay.

The cylinder (bottle) alone is $200. Regulator + solenoid + needle valve is $80. Bubble counter (optional, but recommended) $10, diffuser $15, check valve $10, CO² tubing $10 (approximately) All prices except cylinder are in USD. If you're going to import do it now, the exchange rate is great. Reg + Solenoid + Needle Valve: http://cgi.ebay.com/A-100-CO2-Regulator ... 0407770055 Bubble Counter: http://cgi.ebay.com/Mini-C02-Bubble-Cou ... 255ea4f172 Diffuser: http://cgi.ebay.com/Rhinox-2000-Live-ad ... 415078aba9 ^ (I used a power head + internal diffuser, more efficient but takes up a lot of space) Brass Check Valve: http://cgi.ebay.com/Rhinox-Check-Valve- ... 3caa4c4e91 CO² resistant tubing: http://cgi.ebay.com/Rhinox-Co2-Diffuser ... 3eea962726 All in all, the complete setup will set you back around $400.

Give this place a call. They'll sell you a proper cylinder + do refills. You have to organise your own regulator, solenoid, needle valve, diffuser, check valve and CO² resistant tubing. I imported mine.

That's the most rangi pressurised CO² setup I've seen.

What kind of tank is that?

It's not an Aqua One Tank, it was one of these: http://www.haqos.com/productn.asp?ArticleID=408 The guy I got it from gave me a 1yr warranty, and it's only been 10 months. Will ring up and see what we can do tomorrow.

Yeah it was level, if it wasn't, you'd expect a crack to show closer in the center, and not right on a corner wouldn't you?

Not at all, I've still got my smaller 38L and a even smaller 10L. I'm just worried about my puffers, they're VERY unhappy about being evicted.

Free plants, Auckland area, pick them up quick. I have nowhere to put them. As you can see my 38L tank is already decked out pretty hard. viewtopic.php?f=11&t=49209

Here are the before shots: ^ Left Side ^ Right Side

Sitting on my computer, I hear what sounds like a deep fryer. My gf runs to our room, and yells out my name. I honestly thought she was trolling me. The 'deep fryer' sound was actually the sound of water leaking out at an alarming rate all over the carpet. I go into the bedroom room, see this: ^ Crack ^ Crack ^ Crack ^ Smaller tanks / plants being rescued into blue bucket ^ Wet carpet ^ Check the crack on the right side! ^ My smaller tank. Rescued all 5 puffers into it. ^ Plant rescue bucket. ^ Tank emptied, ready for removal. Check the MASSIVE crack, from the top to the bottom, and around the corner. ^ I taped up the tank for removal because I was afraid the only thing holding the shattered glass in place was the top and bottom plastic rims. ^ Got a night stand with rollers on the bottom and rolled it out of the house ^ Final resting place. It was a molded front tank (not bow front), so there's no chances of fixing it pretty much. G_G I didn't lose any fish, which I am VERY happy about. There was no warning... it just went. I'm glad I was home, or else I'd be coming home to a tank of dead fish.

It would, but it'd run out much quicker and it'd cost significantly more than just getting a proper setup. The buy in cost isn't that much higher.

I've got three just like the topmost one in the image that livingart posted. One runs the CO² solenoid, one runs the smaller tank light (~30w) and one runs my twin 2 x T5HO fixtures (156w). All been running for about a year almost, they work great. 100% digital with a relay, not mechanical like the others.

I got my 6kg for 200 from a place in Auckland. Nova Fire Safety Services 17 Westmoreland St, Grey Lynn, Auckland, Auckland Telephone (09) 360 5391

How did you do your overflow?

Not at all

You can get them from petrol stations, $30/day iirc.
