The ReefBox Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Has anyone converted a paintball canister over to use with a calcium reactor yet? What conversion do you use or hook up a regulator? Thinking about it on a small Frag/observation tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PowderBlue Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 I have a canister you can have its a paintball one, you need an adapter I bought mine on amazon for like 8 bucks. Sent from my SM-G928V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Z Reef Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 You need an adapter like this: AQUATEK CO2 Paintball Tank CGA 320 Adapter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004M49QDC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_gG6RxbQP0BYJF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Z Reef Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Only downside to paintball co2 cylinders (I think all of them in general) is they need hydro testing every 5 years. I have a bunch laying around but they are all expired. New 20oz tanks only run like $30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vance164 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Aquatech makes a specific paintball regulator but better off buying the adaptor and a normal regulator so you can upgrade to a 5lbs or larger bottle. On my wife's shrimp tank I just use a diy regulator and a paintball Asa I had laying around but requires manual turn on and off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arsonmfg Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 I wouldn't do anything less than 5#, you'll tear through a paintball bottle in no time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
