diy co2 for a 55g tank

IMO..... you can run all the lines into your b.counter and then one line into a diffuser. If this is the best way to do it i dont know(it is a good ideal)

jgc did bring up a great point .....loosing pressure. I would keep this in mind with using 4-5 bottles.

Air lines vs. CO2 lines tubing :
Air lines will work for a short space of time ( like around 6 months ???)
then you gotta get new lines. CO2 lines .....last longer,made for CO2..
The winner is :heheheh
