How long is the hose on the CO2 Optima?

Hello JS631,
it doesn't matter how long the hose is, but usually the length is sufficient and if not, you can buy it as a metered item in the zoo store, but watch that it is also for Co2 and not take any air hose!
But you could also look in the store, or if you buy online, just send back if you don't agree to the content!
I can't tell you anything about the length of the pants – but you shouldn't buy such an insane part!
For the money, you can better build yourself a reasonable bio-co2 plant or save a bit and then buy a used compressed gas plant in the regional classifieds.
This part here is not worth the 13 euros.
I've never been busy with the Tetra System, just look at what this is.
There are (it is on the can) 11g CO2 in a can, which as a substitute for 8 Euro costs.
With "normal" disposable compressed gas systems, for example from Dennerle you get 500 g CO2 for the 20 euros . (and even this is still expensive)
WTF
This is a "spray system" – so you spray a certain amount of Co2 into a "distributor" (as similar to a paffrath shell or a flipper) and this gradually dissolves to …
If you know someone about the club, that's often the case, that's not a problem. It doesn't affect anyone. The bottles aren't happening. The Tüv test with increased pressure is more harmful than x normal fillings.
The Tüv problem, however, is only relevant where the consumption for the selected bottle size is actually too small. If the expensive 2kg bottle is filled only a few times within 10 years, the question of cost-effectiveness arises. For 500g bottles it is not worth a (regular) bag, because it costs as much as a new bottle.
laugh – or you can find companies that fill the bottles for hobby use also so, there are without end companies for home brewing plants, technical gases, fire extinguishers etc. …
The TÜV also holds 10 years – many aquarists give up much earlier and sell their stuff.
The problem is there the bottle. For this reason, only the valve is actually paid in used compressed gas plants.
yes – but also a used compressed gas system does not cost the world ….
I saw that. One could also turn the valve on a normal compressed gas bottle, fill a paffrath shell and rotate the valve again. It's cheaper.
