who has a bottled co2 system etc

OH TOLEEDY!

Hi,
I used the DIY system for a month, about 5 years ago,
and got so frustrated with the mixing and leaking and
fixing, that I purchased a bottled system.

I have two bottles of CO2, one filled and ready to
attach, and one in use. Where I get my tanks filled,
you turn yours in, as late as a Friday, and pick it up
filled, on Saturday. In my tank, if I don't connect
the other bottle, the pH climbs to nearly 8 from a 6.8
and I feel that is too much of a swing.

At about 1-2 bubbles/second, my 5 pound tanks lasts about
7 months between refils.
