If your really that's worried spray the connections with soapy water and see if it bubbles.

I was using a doser and it got to the point I was dosing 250ml of cal and 250ml of alk every day. I had a hard keeping my levels balanced when my consumption got that high. I switched to a calcium reactor a few weeks ago and everything has been completely stable. This is just my experience. I know other guys who dose large amounts of cal and alk with a doser without any problems.

All depends what direction you want to take your tank.

Guys, it's CO2, not CO. If your CO2 tank leaks all that's going to do is make the plants in the room happy. It's more dangerous having a propane tank out back with the barbecue.

I was just going to say you can't get poisoned with your breath can you... ?
If it was car fumes then yah you could go to sleep and not wake up!

I would just make sure to check the connections once in a while. This way if anything is leaking you will be able to determine where the leak is and fix it :smile:

Try putting a bag over your head , see how long you last !
CO2 is what comes out the tail pipe of your car .
By the way , I run a cal reactor & no fear of leakage .
