hi,
so am new to co2 and haveing a planted tank but not to fish 6-7years in then hobby.
i have just got a dennerle co2 set up from my local fish shop and got my plants from http://www.plantsalive.co.uk and i have heard that the dennerle 500g bottle has a differant thread size to JBL bottles. i can get the dennerle bottles for £23 (from my local fish shop) and the JBL for £18.65 http://www.zooplus.co.uk/shop/fish/technic_and_accessories/co2/jbl/146285 so would rather go with the cheapest option.

so if anyone knows where i can get a new thread fitting to fit these bottles that would b grate.

also i seen Themuleoust post http://ukaps.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=7696&start=0 and noticed him mention disposable 600g CO2 cylinders used for welding from http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/p...s-cylinder-600g?da=1&TC=SRC-600g co2 cylinder and i thought it had to be hospatal grade co2 used in fish tank

cheers :thumbup:
 
Hi bigal12

There are thread adaptors you can get for a standard bottle regulator take your bottle and regulator to a local plumb base or plumbing shop the will have a brass or steel fitting that should be able to do the job

Next time you in LFS see if it tells you the thread size on the bottle if not maybe another member that using it could possibly measure there's for you then your be able to get one easy

More info here on Co2 regulator adaptors http://www.teamonslaught.fsnet.co.uk/co2_info.htm
