You are welcome... I am sure they will generate some more questions, but those will give you a real good idea of what is involved. Just let us know what else you need to know after browsing through those.

ok those are really good links. I am most intersted in inline co2 reactor you said in the link that i could buy these commercialy, i like everything to look pro and dont like things to look messy what are the best ones to buy? if i buy one is it all inclusive or will i still need to buy parts e.g. gas canister. please can you explain this method in more detail with exactly what i will need does this take up a lot of space. thanks your help is very appreciated
