5 lb Aluminum CO2 Air Tank

This tank arrived as expected. It is in perfect shape, no dints or marks. there is no logo on it either, which I am glad of, but the picture is a bit misleading. That being said, they may have updated the product since I have owned mine for a few years.. The valve is solid, and opens easily, and stays shut, without leaking. The black handle is comfortable to turn, it does not dig into the hand as some of these can. The brass connectors are appreciated for the quality. It holds as advertised the 5lbs, and has served me well now for a number of years with regular use. There is no sign of wear and tear on it, and it looks as good as new. I use it to carbonate water, but I imagine it would work great for home brew with the appropriate gear.

I was nervous about buying the cheapest tank on Amazon. "What if it leaks? What if it has a bad valve and blows up!?!" I was really new to this, and had no idea what to expect.I decided to take the risk, and bought this to save a hundred dollars on my diy water carbonation setup. I took it to my local welding shop and I was super surprised when the store keeper just swapped me for one of his bottles, and I paid him $50.Anyway, I don't know how reliable this tank is, but if all you need is to buy a ticket to get into the tank exchange program, this tank totally worked for me!

I am using this tank for my fish aquarium. It holds COs and works well. I am a little nervous that it doesn't have a protective piece around the top valve in case it tips over, but it is only about 18 in tall and tipping over at that height shouldn't cause any problems in my opinion. That being said I still am extra careful that it avoids tipping. I have it regulated by a Milwaukee 182 regulator, working perfectly. It has been up for 3 months.

This tank is very nice especially when comparing to others you get from local shops. It was inspected about 10 months ago which is fine with me. Still wont need to get it inspected until 2024. I saw some people complaining about the inspection dates but it doesnt bother me. Just get it inspected when you get it filled around that time. Anyways, this is still a brand new product and very great quality. Also its DOT stamped. Always be sure of that when purchasing a tank.

This is was a practical way to get a reliable CO2 Cylinder for making your own sparkling water or beer. I say practical because its a great product that is relatively well priced for its size. You could get one cheaper off ebay or craigslist but you have more due diligence to perform or you run the risk of it being damaged of not properly manufactured.

I bought this for CO2 for my fish tank. What I didn't know is that when getting C02 (at least at my local supplier) is that you do a tank exchange rather than a fill up. Normally, they would just switch the tanks without really looking, but I had to specifically ask for a new tank in the switch, otherwise it would have been in vain to purchase a new one. Just letting you know that a used tank might work just as well, at least for aquarium purposes.

Using it for an aquarium. Had it up for about a month or so and all is going great! I do wish the knob was made of metal though.

What can I say? It is a CO2 tank and it holds CO2 and doesn't leak or explode. That is always good right? Plus it is a good price and looks nice in my kegerator :)
