Default DIY CO2 tube creating reverse siphon ???

Yeah. A number of people on this group and other web sites recommended
glass. It's heavier, has more of a base, and won't tip over. If you are
running the CO2 line into a powerhead, then the suction will not deflate the
glass like a plastic bottle.

However, I do see your point. How would you recommend to add something into
the line so if the pressure reaches a certain point, a pressure release
valve will open...or something like that....without buying a compressed
tank, etc.

thanks,

jugs where the CO2 is being through the airline. I have seen the air


GLASS?

Bad plan, man... If you get a signifigant clog you have a grenade by your
tank.
