I've worked with pressured tanks for welding and for purging certain military hardware with nitrogen. The Tanks are brass heads so the metal is soft. You don't haft to craft the bejesus out of them to keep them from leaking. If you think it might be leaking or not tight enough just use some soap and water mixture to test the connections. If it blows bubbles its leaking. Close the tank valve and remove the pressure regulator. Inspect the mating surfaces and ensure they are shaped similarly as in angles of the fittings and tank heads mating surfaces. Also check for dirt and debris and any possible dents cuts to those surfaces. Then reassemble and test for leaks. A little past snug is usually enough. If you over tighten then you can strip the brass fittings. Also make sure your regulators valves are set to closed before you mount it to the tank and before you open the tanks valve. Otherwise you are good to go. The soap and water is always a good way to test to leaks.

Thank you so much for this wonderful video! I had so many doubts and was very apprehensive about getting CO2 for my aquarium but this video was super helpful. I've decided to go ahead and get myself a CO2 setup now!

[adrianradu]

Nice video! Was hoping you would discuss more about what is the purpose of reactors, diffusion rate and how should the bubbles circulate in the tank for the best effect, how to work with smaller CO2 systems, as seen in the first part of the video on the table.

Thanks!

[MFTELLES]

What a fantastic video. I'm a beginner on the subject. I really like to learn everything that is connected to the theme of aquarism. It was very didactic. Thank you for everything. Strong hug.

[ThePinkbunny]

Literally was watching your year old video last night multiple times while setting my system up LAST night lol.

Good timing! Thank you so much for all the information! Get that green tea!

[Aquagold.goldysingh]

beautifulli explain. co2 setup always make puzzled so many, this is best video for everyone.

[fbasantajr]

Outstanding CO2 overview, everyone always talks about, add CO2 it's so easy, but when you break it down the way you did, it makes sense. Well #1 informational video for 2022, thank you Green aqua... From NYC

[jhansen]

Thank you for the amazing videos. The dedication to great information, and even video production is truly awesome. I have learned so much watching all your videos. My tank has really become a part of our lives. Bringing joy to my wife and kids.

[باشاواتمصر]

I loved what happened at the beginning, when the co2 regulator could not be connected to the cylinder. It reminded me that it usually happens and you are left with a mixture of impotence, anger, since you invested in something good and it does not work. He was lucky to have another cylinder, but we don't have that. Good video.

[nature-aquatic]

First minute for the first time😜
Enjoy ur contents so much, keep it up Balaz, green aqua💪

[kozmaz]

Nice cross-threading there in the beginning :D

[klebberbrazilian.theprofessor]

Dude, you just read my mind!!! I was inclined to ask in a random video of Green Aqua channel exactly about Pressurized CO2 setup (to help me with my incoming CO2 system).

Thanks a LOT!!!

[teunisvanderveen]

I like these kind of videos! please do more! But I would like to say that the hose before the solenoid should be as short as possible. If the solenoid is closed co2 will build up in this part of hose until working pressure is met. If the solenoid opens the pressure is released and it gives a burst of co2. That is not necessarily a problem but it can make the hose pop off the glassware or empty the bubble counter faster then you would like...

Set up my first Co2 system. on my 65 breeder tank in Seattle WA.

[marciomoreiramello]

OMG! Thanks and thanks and thanks!!!! You're my best Channel !!!

[samsam]

thanks a lot. i am a new guide and i understand what should i need to buy now.

I use the Neo CO2 on my Fluval Spec III. Works perfectly and it’s running all the time. Also very budget friendly. The media that the yeast feeds off of lasts a very long time. You’ll actually run out of yeast before the media. So what I did was buy a jar of yeast at the grocery store and use that. A single NEO CO2 bottle has lasted me almost 8 months and I still have enough to stretch it longer. Not bad for $20 here in the states.
