    Can anybody tell me where to get a C02 tank around Cedar Rapids?
    If I bought an empty tank as part of a package, where would I get it filled up?
    Does it make more sense to just buy a full tank locally, logistics-wise?
    I've never used a Ca reactor before but now I"m getting a 200g going and I probably need to take the plunge ...
    I'd love to get a used one BTW ...

    I just got my ca reactor on line and I love it! I got a used tank off RC and it had a labble on it that said praxair and I found out there was a praxair in burlington just down the road from me. I went there and the swaped me tanks It cost $19
    I took it one other place at first and they wouldn't fill it as it wasen't there tank. So it would probably be easier to just get one local.

    Linweld on 1st ave west. You may want to check with them on whether they would fill a personal tank... sometimes they only fill their approved tanks. If using theirs you simply put a small deposit on the tank and then it's about $23 to fill it..when empty they will swap it out with a full one.

    I got a 5 lb tank filled at SJ Smith on 1144 27th Ave SW for $15. It's kind of by the Godfather's on 6th St & the Gateway Garden Apartments.
