the problem with tipping is that the fluid gets forced by the pressure of
the co2 into the tank.

yeukkk!

Great idea with the juice bottle! I'm going to do that on the next
concoction. Currently I have a check-valve and the bottle is safely below my
tank a few feet so it can't tip into it Hopefully it being lower doesn't
affect the performance of the C02, I guess if there is gas pressure and it
only has one way to go so it doesn't matter the position of the source.

thanx for the ideas!
Dave.

Hi Dave

I'd suggest going down to the grocery store and getting a 64oz bottle of
juice then drinking that! ;-)

Seriously, the soda bottles are notorious for tipping over and spilling
the
contents into your aquarium or onto your rug. The juice bottles have a
number of advantages: their lower profile and full width base dramatically
lowers the likelihood of tipping, stronger sides with builtin handles
means
easier to carry especially if damp, wider mouth for filling.

As far as fitting the line don't bother with the silicone cement. Instead
go
for a compression fit by drilling the hole smaller than the airline,
cutting
the airline end on an angle and pull it through with a pair of pliers.
This
will give you a leak free fit that will last a very long time.

Besides, juice is better for you!

have fun
