    Looking for: Mini CO2 system

    I remember seeing a small CO2 cylinder at the last Aquarama that had a rack that allowed it be hung on the side of the tank. Anybody remember the brand, exhibitor or seen it or anything similar for sale?

    I don't need to hang it on the tank, I just like the small size.

    Yeah, I know about the ADA one, but I grow aquatic plants, not money. Besides, it's way too small and incompatible with standard cylinders.

    Thanks.

    Vincent, by any chance, was it from a booth facing the entrance?

    If so, Benny may have the contact cos he spoke to a China or Taiwan booth about... a filter (I think).

    The booth that had mini setups?

    Just a shot in the dark.

It is a city which bustles with industry and craft, commerce and culture, art and science.

    Hi Vinz, does the bioplast CO2 tank appeal to you? I think they're quite small and nice too.

    But a caveat raised, small tank will need you to top up often, which can be a hassle to some.

    Am looking for one for my 1 feet tank too, currently using the Nutrafin DIY, have been searching through the net and have come across the ADA and some others which are not within my budget.

    Would appreciate any other suggestions thanks!

    Sharp as ever coryfav!

    I believe this is the one? It's from Mr. Aqua. Local distributor has not intention of bringing it in yet.



    The range have expanded and now there's 4 sizes. But not available in Singapore. Common in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

    Some folks have brought it back from overseas. The model in the picture cost about S$150 (in Taiwan) if I recall correctly. And the mannual regulator is included.

    Cheers,
    I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?

    Bingo!

    Looks like a 1 litre and a foot tall. Bigger then I remembered.

    Anybody knows if it's refillable? Can't really tell from the photo, as the assembly is different from the standard ones.

    Yup. It is. I believe Yorky is using one.

    (1) Mr Aqua CO2 set is refillable.

    (2) As for the ADA mini CO2 set, its definitely not refilllable.

    In terms of asthetics, (2) looks better with small tanks.

    Yorky,

    What's the capacity of the Mr. Aqua CO2 cylinder that you have?

    Are you happy with it?

    How's the regulator performing?

    I can't find anything on them on the web. Anybody knows their website, if they even have one? Or a site selling Mr. Aqua goods?

    Benny, do you know the sizes in the expanded range?
