    You can get it at Petmart or NA (Bigger but cheaper), if online you check out Midori or Mizu for the ADA series (abit X hor).

    I'm very sure is refillable. As small good looking things are not cheap.

    small CO2 cylinder

    Kian, the smallest I have seen is about the size of a glass cup. Not worth spending the money. It is not cheap further it cost about the same to refill a much bigger cylinder. You need to buy a regulator on top of that.

    For your l ft tank try DIY. Many infor are available on the net, just type CO2 DIY on yahoo.com search.

    Why not consider a normal 2L cylinder? It is cheaper to purchase, cheaper to refill, and require less frequent refill.

    I am using a 2L CO2 cylinder for my 1ft cube Just need to hide it some where.

    2l cylinder is 500% more economical on the long run compared to what i posted previously. and
    a chance on a resell rate should you decide to switch in any form.

    Well, it depends really. Most of the time, setting up a tank is for asthetic purpose, and for most 1 ft tank, normally it does not have a cabinet to go along, so things like Co2 tank and filter has to be exposed. And I would say a mini Co2 tank looks better then a 2 L steel tank painted black and blue

    Its definitely not as economical, but for asthetics sake, something have to go sometimes
