Just Great, out of co2 on Christmas Eve

That is what I get for not paying attention to how much co2 I had left. Now I have to wait until Monday to get another tank.

That will never happen to me, I have two tanks!!! LOL

Wish I could lend you mine while you get yours filled, but we haven't figured out how to "energize" to travel like Star Trek.

Merry Christmas anyways

what part of portland do you live in? i have a extra
This always happens. Usually right before you leave on a vacation. And it's why I too invested in an extra tank. This way you can quickly switch to the full back-up one from the garage, and not have to run out to get the empty one replaced right away. One long weekend of no CO2 can equal a month or more of a nasty BBA break-out a few weeks later.
I just got another 4L of Excel a couple of weeks ago, so I can just up the dosage for a few days. That is my backup.

That is very generous. But I will be fine with the excel. I live in the Bethany area. What about you?
Lol, I don't mean to laugh but I would think you'd be one of the last people to run out of co2.

Merry Christmas!

Probably a good idea. I just replaced my bulbs and cleaned my reflectors today. It is a lot brighter now.
Monday can wait. I'm sure you'll be fine.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

Can't you just run some tubing from CA to OR?

Like the Alaska pipeline? LOL. I think I am a couple of feet short, I only bought 10 feet at AFA last week, I'm gonna have to run and get more. LOL

Monday will be here before you know it!

I also experienced some issues with my CO2 yesterday. My diffuser is not putting out bubbles, I checked and the tank is still full, I don't really know what happened, but I haven't had time to trouble shoot. Luckily my drop checker is still green, but I have to figure out where the problem lies. I have a spare diffuser, but if it is the regulator, I have to spend some money before I wanted to.

I also have a 2 liter bottle of Excel for a back up,but having two CO2 tanks isn't always the perfect back up for emergencies.
