fishboi Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 aluminium is lighter and steel lasts longer. each have pros and cons... yeah some can handle more pressure than others which means more CO2 in smaller tank etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 Weight isn't particularly significant for just running a fish tank. I'd say cost is the big factor. So, just go with the steel because it's cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suphew Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 If you looking ay converting an fire extingisher bottle try and get a steel one, they have a far better pass rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 Not too sure but I think CO2 needs an Aluminum bottle as it reacts with steel when under pressure. CO2 is very corrosive which is also why CO2 regulators have stainless steel guts and not brass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
