I'd like to know if anyone has had any negative experiences with aa pressurized [acronym:7568f89374="Carbon dioxide"]CO2[/acronym:7568f89374] system. WHat problems might I unexpectedly encounter, and if there is a way to avoid them?

The tank parameters are: 125 [acronym:7568f89374="Gallon"]gal[/acronym:7568f89374], [acronym:7568f89374="Powerhead"]PH[/acronym:7568f89374] 7.0, [acronym:7568f89374="Carbonate Hardness"]KH[/acronym:7568f89374] 2. Lighting: 6X55 brite light kit from AH Supply.

Rex, I'm looking at you kid ([acronym:7568f89374="Laughing out loud"]LOL[/acronym:7568f89374])

The only thing you have to watch is the end of tank dump when the liquid [acronym:445863b7db="Carbon dioxide"]CO2[/acronym:445863b7db] in the cylinder is gone. But I have even found a way around that problem. You are going to want to boost your kH up a bit though.
