	Paintball CO2???
bcwcat22 Big Fish Posts: 395 Kudos: 314 Votes: 34 Registered: 16-Jul-2005	I used to play paintball but I do not any more so now I have 2 Co2 tanks (9oz) (20oz) collecting dust in the basement. Would these work on a CO2 injection system?? I have read on this and all I read about was CO2 from welding shops so I am not sure if it would work. I am also unsure if 29 total oz is to small to support a system. This would be only for a 10 gallon which I am planning on completly rescaping in a few months. Thanks in advance for your help.

That's 'bout all I know I do know that it'd be a pain in the butt to run 2 cannisters on one system tho...have to buy more valves, adapters, etc...an' have to worry about having more places to leak Moo

I dont know how acurate these other forums are does anyone have a difinitive anwser on this? "A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man" Simpsons
