Carbon dioxide

Looking at finding a small canister of Carbon dioxide.
As well as any idea to pricing on these and the refill prices.
If you know anything at all that could help me in getting something easy to use to be added to a direct flow of air rather then a water tank would be nice too.
pm me your thoughts or post here in this thread for others to see.

Could you re-phrase this? Are you looking for a CO2 Regulator?

From Air Liquide in Prince George http://www.airliquide.com/ I bought a size 9 (they're about 2' tall and also called a 20 pound I think) CO2 Cylinder for $150. It costs $34 each time to re-fill and they just take the old one and give me a new one. On my 270gal system it lasts a little over a year running my calcium reactor.

i got mine for my planted tank from a place that supplies fire equiptment
i paid $100 for the 10 lb tank full and it cost between $25-35 to fill depending where i go............ i dont run a ca reactor so no idea how long it would last but it lasts a year on my 33 G planted tank which i keep at 30 ppm
