Where to buy a 5lb CO2 tank in the metro area Hi, I'm new to this and thinking about going with presurized CO2 for my aquarium. Can someone please show me where to buy a 5lb CO2 tank locally. I live in Northern VA, Fairfax area. How much does it typcally cost for the tank and a refill? Thanks Quoc |
There is a place called F&M Fire [Extinguisher] in Beltsville, MD that is reasonably priced, but it's open weekdays only. Look at GWAPA.org website for other ideas. Mark |

sorry. you have to join to view messages. This is what I got. F&M Fire Protection Service 301-277-6655 I bought 5# for $60 and they offered to sell me #10 full, for $75 Only open on weekdays. Regulator is extra. BTW, these are used. Used is good. you can get refills from Bars by Bud Mephan in Merrifield for about $15 on weekends. 703-573-1010 Also bought #5 with regulator from Rapids in Iowa. 319-447-1681 cost $147.79 can't find the original receipt; they're on the web. comes with empty, new tank with regulator. I like the rapids thing because it's a good package deal. Mark |
Mark, Does Bar By Bud refill onsite? I'm thinking of buying a new #5 aluminum tank at beveragefactory.com. It cost $67 shipping included. I don't want to trade it in for an old one. Thanks |
yes. I go on Saturdays in the morning for refills, not exchange. |
Thanks Mark |
I'm a big fan of the excahnge route, ostly because the gas companies test the tanks annually and I know I am getting a safe tank. Granted a new tank will be safe and it's all neato looking but I've seen a tank fail before. |
what kind of new tank failures you have seen? You got me worried here. |
You know, I have a 20lb tank (i'm not entirely sure, because its rather heavy and it stands about 4 feet tall) and I was looking into getting a refill. I found a great list of C02 suppliers in the DC area: http://burp.burp.org/Default.aspx?tabid=423 Hope that helps |
