i'm speaking from personal experience of having own two cylinders of this brand previously. really poor quality.

Bro dun mind me saying this. Cannot trust this dymax brand. I once bought a package because it was quite cheap but many problems after using it. Eventually gave up and went to buy another CO2 tank for my planted, really not worth the trouble. Tried contacting them but they also cannot solve the problem and provided no solutions. Sigh...The tank is still lying around, dunno how to dispose (Any ideas anyone?)

Cheers,

hehe... same here too... but my bad experience was two-fold as I bought two of these sets...!!!!!
can i know what was the problem with yours? mine was the leaking main valve cause by the lousy washers.

mayb u can change the tap?
since the tank shld be the same except the tap...
so change to something thats more reliable and u can have a standby tank liaoz?

hi,

just an update on my cylinder...took it back to the shop and surprisingly its due to the myself not tightening the nuts with spanner tightly thats why the gas leak from the tap...updated comments on this brand to the shop keeper and was told that they encounter quite nos of complaint from this brand too but those are more to the 2L cylinder, for the 3 L type stil no complaint for the time being...

Hi,

My tank had a faulty tap and seems that it is also leaking. Probably need to change the tap but dunno whether worth it or not. Somemore the tank doesn't seem to be certified like the other tank I bought so dunno how long it can last also. Maybe can consider fixing it and use it as a spare tank but no time to do also.

Cheers,
