You should be able to purchase them from OxyPro or Praxair...

I tried those places too Harvey, and nope they wouldn't sell me a cylinder. Rent yes sell no.
Ok tell you what I feel like I'm flogging a dead horse here. No wants to believe me, fine. Go ahead and call all those places and try to buy a CO2 cylinder. Post back what you find out. I'll say it one last time, I think the best deals will be MO. But hey don't take my word for it, obviously my experiences don't count for anything. I'll go so far as to provide you with numbers. Please, call them, ask to *buy* a CO2 cylinder. Praxair - 236-6511 Liquid Air - 777-4700 Medigas - 236-2166 Oxypro - 279-5055 BOC - 279-7581 Sprouse Fire - 265-3891 There are a host of others too, but that should get you started. And, let's assume I've been wrong all along. Let's say you do find, say, a 10lb cylinder somewhere that they will sell you. Please post this info and the price. Just remember, there's a 10lb cylinder sitting at OA for $100. https://www.oceanaquatics.com/index.php?cat_id=39 Knock yerself out.  PS. FWIW, I use Sprouse for refilling my cylinders, and have also had them do two hydrostat tests too. I'm pretty happy with their service. I think I once also had Oxypro fill up my little cylinder, and they were good too, but their hours are a little less convenient for me (close at 4:00 or 4:30 IIRC).

Re: CO2 tank
I bought my 20lb tank at OxyPro. I think it was about $100.00
Their ad in the yellow pages says all size cylinders for sale. They just trade me for a full one when it's empty.

Oxypro sold you a 20lb for $100? I stand corrected. I swear they wouldn't sell me one when I tried them. I would've happily bought one for that. Oh well.
Glad to be wrong. I had nothing but frustration when I first started up my calcium reactor; glad things have changed for the better since then.

I ended up buying the aluminum tank from J&L. I called around and went to a few places locally, but couldn't beat the price. All were willing to sell tanks, but either they only had larger sizes or higher prices or both. I got it filled at Sprouse.
