Local gas refill

Hi everyone, i emailed one of my local gas refill sites which is local to me and they came back with this cannister that i could refill. I just wanted to check everything and make sure it’s okay for aquatic use? It is 100% carbon dioxide which is used for home brewing hobbyists or small pubs. It is a 6kg cannister which will fit into the space i have planned for my tank. Can i use this with a co2 art regulator kit and do it that way? This gas refill site is local and for the size of the cylinder it is much more cost effective than getting my co2 from my lfs. I have attached the photos from their website and could anyone give me some advice to see if this is fine to use? Thanks for all your help!

Looks fine. In majority of non USA world the CO2 connection is standard DIN 477 / BS 341, so UK bought regulators should fit. However due to the presence of the cylinder collar, you might have physical space issues in connecting. Solutions are, sometimes the collar can be unscrewed, some regulators will fit or you can get an extension tube to move the regulator clear of the collar.
