Pressurised CO2 possibility

be slow and methodical when playing with compressed stuff, unless of course you are running away from it.

'hand tight' is a term to be applied only when using a long-handled spanner.

if you are not using a spanner the term 'hand can't undo' works as a starting point.

Has anybody looked at combustion-type CO2 generators?

They use these in the greenhouse-flower business. It's basically a propane gas burner. I assume that it has high combustion efficiency to prevent formation of carbon monoxide (CO) which is toxic.

Once purchased it should last forever on a tank of propane. They're not cheap, but perhaps a small version could be made for home use with aquaria?

I was also wondering if you could use it with the reticulated natural gas supply in your house. That contains mainly methane (CH4), and some trace nitrogen and sulphur. I assume that <0.1% NO2 and <0.001% SO2 in the CO2 wouldn't be too bad for the fish?
