Sounds like it would be easier to have 2 bottles, have one dropped off at your CO2 shop to be shipped for filling and swap when other bottle is empty. More cost I know, but you wouldn't be out of CO2

Yeah, wow, I can understand there not being a place to fill it in town then, but you'd think there'd be something within a couple hours drive. Three weeks to a fill is .. well .. well, what can I say, I'd consider that unacceptable.. but I guess you work with what you got. I agree with Scav, I think you should get a 70lb bottle for your main and then use a 10lb or 5lb bottle as the spare.
That's actually what I do, I have two cylinders myself because I thought the 1 to 2 day turnaround for my fills was too long  And the real irony is I'm not even running a reactor right now. I've been dosing instead. Damn thing keeps leaking, it's driving me crazy. I've been contemplating ditching the reactor altogether when my new tank comes up and just go with the Balling method or a derivative. But, that's another topic altogether. Sorry to hear it's such a hassle in Powell River. I honestly thought P.R. was sort of the nearest major centre for a lot of those coastal hamlets. But when I was looking for you last night, I agree, I saw basically nothing in the town of Powell River itself. I found places in Qualicum Beach though  .. You'd think there'd be something that could do better than 3 weeks. I guess all the restaurants/fast food places probably just have a truck come in once per week loaded up with cylinders, coming in from the L.M. maybe...

Marie,
If you want, I can try to find a spare CO2 tank for you, get it filled & bring it up next time I head to PR (with TomR). Anthony

I have a spare bottle, It's out getting filled right now.I didn't think there was any rush getting the second one filled but then I wasn't expecting to start running out after only 4 months.

Marie,
If your current bottle runs out in the next month or so, let me know & we can pick it up & get it filled for you down here. Then either ship it back or hold it for you till someone goes up or comes down. Anthony

my current bottle is due to run out in the next few days. The gauge started dropping 2 1/2 weeks ago so I hastily sent out my old co2 bottle to be filled, I dialed my calcium reactor way back to try and make it last longer and I am adding kent 2 part as well as kalkwasser.
Procrastinating is a bad bad thing  Hopefully i'll have the replacement bottle back this next week

Hey Marie that's amazing growth just out of coriousity was that the frag Anthony brought up on his last trip to PR, reason I ask is because a frag I traded him was destined for you it was a blue teal acro! really nice tank maybe I should ship you all my frags to grow out hehe jk.
