    No problem was running it in my tank until the leak and will do it again when tank is resealed. Just some advice you should try keep the level of co2 as constant as possible. use 2 bottles and change one every week. I know it could last longer but what happens is the co2 level drops and inconsistent level can cause algae growth. In the end I was experimenting with three bottle system and rotating one a week it seemed to work well and I will probably use that system again.
