I think I have a pic, but it is just a tank sitting there inside my grow area.
A couple things to remember: CO2 sinks, so in my case I put the hose around the light so the CO2 drops onto the plants. The previous poster was correct that ambient CO2 is ~300 ppm, you want 1500 ppm, so you need to maintain a flow of 1200 ppm during flower. Use a CO2 calculator to figure it out based on your grow area's cubic footage.

thanks for the pic man, ok bottle goes in the tank. I also have a cap 3 controller for it. hope I see some increases with this whole new system. how do you like that sun system? I have the cool sun 600 6", and love it.I think I have a pic, but it is just a tank sitting there inside my grow area.

My tank is a five pounds. I get it filed at a fire extinguisher store, but yeah, welding shop works. I'm growing in a wardrobe so I don't use too much gas.
I love the hood, it is working on it's fifth grow now and it does the job perfectly.
