Derry Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Anybody know where I can pick up some 1/4" CO2-compatible tubing locally? I need it to finish setting up my new calcium reactor, and I didn't see any on the BRS site for the latest group buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+dapettit Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 FYI, I've used regular silicone tubing for the past year with no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derry Posted March 25, 2010 Author Share Posted March 25, 2010 Dave, some digging in Google revealed that silicone loses 20-30% of the CO2 due to its permeability and is generally listed as the least-preferable option for running C02. I dont' doubt that it will run the reactor, but you might be burning through more CO2 than necessary from the gas diffusing through the tubing.

+dapettit Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Hmm, I filled up the Co2 bottle up a 7 months ago and it's only have empty. I have some CO2 tubing somewhere in my junk box, I may compare it usage against the CO2 tubing (if I can find it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
