Evening all,
I've recently embarked on my first Nano Aquascape - Its a 30litre cube that is well planted and I plan to use pressurised Co2 to maintain plant growth however I have a few questions around my choice of cylinder and the adaptors.
I was thinking of buying the below Paintball CO2 cylinder as it is fairly small, neat and a fair size to run on the 30 cube:

I assume this type of bottle is refillable? I have found a local Sporting Goods shop that will do refills for £5.
I am also aware that paintball use cylinders have a needle valve and require an adaptor in order the CO2 to feed through readily to the regulator (without pressing down on the needle valve) but cannot seem to find the adaptor/valve in the UK. Is the below the right one?

I will add a link soon to my mini journal of the tank, as I am nearing the end of my successful DSM phase!
Any help from those with experience of similar set ups would be great.
