Re: calculate how long a CO2 cylinder lasts

|| Hi,

Lets put it this way, no. My 5lb tank on my 29g tank lasts 4months at 3bps,
and for a 132g tank, I'd get a 20lb tank and not worry...

1lbs bottle at about 2b/s on a 170g tank lasted me a month.
Dh about 17, normal PH 7.6 required 6.8

I now have a 22 lbs bottle with a home made setup.
