I heard the "easy to keep going once it's dialed in" story too hehe... I never could keep the pressure / consumption of CO2/etc. steady... I think it was due to the way I plumbed it up...I use up a bottle of CO2 every two months, I think that's too much, so there's a leak somewhere... I dunno

I would come home sometimes, and the thing would have flushed 1/2 the water out of the primary chamber (too much CO2). I feel safe selling it to Billy/Karen because of this, I know that Billy can figure out what's wrong with it... I replumbed it from scratch when I got it, and I bet I hooked up something in the wrong spot. I basicly just need to buy one new, if I want to try it again, so that I know it's plumbed correctly.

Alan, to be fair, and since this is your thread, I'm gonna give you first shot...otherwise it's first come first served after I posted details/price, which would be Karen/Billy.

Sounds fair to me.

Mine has been rock solid since I put a valve inline between it and the powerhead that feeds it. I was overdriving the system with water causing my CO2 to need to be turned up higher (or else it would back flow).

Just put in a little valve, and now its perfect.

If that is the way we are going to play, I guess I will put my name at the end of the list.

I know you responded first after I mentioned I had a CR that I might be selling, but I never start taking offers until I post price and details due to buyer backouts. I was gonna give to Karen/Billy (first response), but somebody reminded me that this was Alan's thread, so letting him have first shot, since that is the fair thing to do

I guess I will stay at the end of the list in case the deal falls through.
