I’ve used this 3L CO2 cylinder in my 120-gallon aquarium for over six months. The face-up connection fits perfectly with my regulator. It’s durable, doesn’t leak, and I’ve been able to refill it multiple times without issues. The epoxy coating keeps it looking clean and prevents rust.

The cylinder works well with my existing setup. I noticed it’s slightly heavier than a 1L version, but that’s expected. Refilling at a local station was straightforward, though I had to use an extra o-ring as advised. No leaks so far and it’s reliable for daily CO2 needs.

Great quality and long-lasting. The epoxy coating prevents oxidation even after several refills. I appreciate the DOT certification and the ease of installation. It’s a solid choice for any aquarium with consistent CO2 requirements.
