Well, since finding my CO2 leak and fixing it, I went to refill my tank and asked about upgrading from a 10lb to a 15lb. The guy was really helpful, and recommended getting the 20lb rather than the 10lb, and I would only be charged the difference between the cost of the bottles, and the contents was free. So I did it. It was a $40.00 difference, and the refill for the 20lb is 22.00, which he didn't charge me for. :) Now to do that when my other 10lb runs out in about 5-6 months. :) I currently have the 20lb on my 29G and 10G, and if I add another 10G planted, it will run 3 tanks.

Tomorrow I will double-check all the connections for leaks. My 10lb only lasted 1 month because I didn't check my connections, and it was leaking bad between the solenoid and the 3-way manifold. It's corrected now, and not leaking.

What's that on the bottom right, an empty tank!! Let me at it!
Cool, I am also using a 20lbs tank, you should'nt have to worry about filling it for awhile. Keep checking for leaks, found one in my system a month after I set it up, and I checked it good the first day. Guess it took some time to settle in.

***All AA MTS sufferers start descending on LWB's house to confiscate and set-up empty tanks.***

Dude, I could so use those empty tanks for some surprise Apisto fry I found in my 55 and my next batch of angelfish fry!!
 
LOL

What I want to do is get rid of the 10G dual stand and 2 10G tanks and get a dual 20G long setup with 2 20G tanks, lol.
