Anybody have experience getting their tanks filled in Ottawa South?  I've got a couple 20oz CO2 paintball type tanks that I need refilled now that I've used my first tank up.

Any place that repairs and sells fire extinguishers can help you, this is probably also true of any of the paintball stores too.

There is a paintball store on St Laurent ( Belfast), but i don`t think those cylinders will go too far on a 125 gln tank, if that is the tank you plan on using it on.

It lasted a good couple months.  I do have a ph controller on it, so it's not like it just bubbles away madly.  I'm tempted to just rent a HUGE canister from Praxair or whomever, and buy myself my own co2 refilling station.  It doesn't look that expensive if it costs me 10-20$ a refill say...

No worries.  I'll probably just head out to the paintball place in the east end near Mtl road and the 417.

$5 for a 20oz bottle at PSI at Belfast and St. Laurent.  The refilling gear looked really simple.  May even look at getting my own one day. 

<edit>  Checked my notes, the system was installed at the very beginning of June, so one 20oz tank should last 3 months.  At 5$ a fill at the paint ball place, it's no biggie.  I have two bottles, so I have one to swap whenever it empties fully.  What a difference that makes for the plants.  It is quite astonishing.
