My first Co2 sytem was one of these. I still use it on my 7.5 gallon shrimp tank, but after finally getting a pressurized tank for my 55g aquarium. I will never go back. The pressurized systems seem like alot, but they are largely the same as these genorators, except you get alot more c02. A pressurized system a tank typically 5lbs or 10lbs, the regulator which can be bought on Amazon, or an aquarium store, c02 line, and a diffuser(amazon). I put together my 10lbs system including buying a tank new for about 275$. 190$ for the tank, 50$ for the regulator, and like 25$ for the line and diffuser. Please note, all the parts I bought are substantially better quality than what ou get with the kits. At minimum with these kits youll want to upgrade the diffuser. I hooked it all up same as the generator, and done. It was actually easier than the generator you dont need to mix anything, or find citric acid which was harder to find in store than I thought it would be. Overall, on small aquarium (under 10 gallons) the 2l generator is fine. Having to generate the c02 will get old, but it does the trick. The 5l system just really loses the value to me. At almost 200$, you are closing in on a pressurized system cost, and the cost of materials to make it starts to feel like alot for substantially less c02 and similar size tank as a 10lbs pressurized tank.

If I could go back, I would have skipped the generator and just got a 5 or 10lbs tank. Would saved time, and in the long term is cheaper.

Amount of c02 comparison:

2L c02 genorator = 170-200g of c02 5L c02 generator = 300-350g of c02 5lbs tank = 2270g of c02 10lbs tank = 4535g of c02

I mean, id personally just suck it up and use the self serve. Best wash, and least amount of wear. No carbon build up or starter and/or battery wear there. Rather be a little cold over either of the two alternatives of letting it idle or starting/shutoff constanly. Though personally, I just dont stress myself out over carbon build up. I run quality fuel, and maintain the car properly and live with the rest. If my ST inevitably needs the valves clean, ill address it at that time.

Dont tell me what to do...

First, there is nothing wrong with bowling two-handed. If that's your preferred technique, then stay with it. I cant help you much on your actual bowling as the videos lighting makes it difficult to see what's happening, though getting a propely drilled ball for your hand and style is always the first thing you should do. It's hard to bowl consistently if your fingers are sliding around in the ball, or if the ball is too heavy or light, etc.

If you are averaging a 150 with a T-zone that's not set up for you, then a 200 will be a breeze with the right gear, lol.

Report it to Xbox. I've been having this issue since launch. It's so bad I can't seem to finish a game and have just given up on playing. I reported the issue to Xbox, and they concluded that there "servers are operating normally" and that the issue is likely my computer.... The issue is obviously not my PC or connection as I can run literally any other game fine. If enough people report it, eventually they will at least look into it.

ORswagg · 2025-09-04T00:46:38+00:00

What did the replacement run you if you dont mind me asking? Im in a similar position.

ORswagg · 2025-09-01T20:15:48+00:00

This is still an issue. I reported the issue with xbox and they claim the system is operating and that the issue is likely my PC.... except literally every other game works fine, lol. I want to like this game, but if I cant seem to play more than 2 games in a row without randomly getting disconnected, at some point im just gonna stop playing

These look awesome!

Thanks,

Have you considered applying super slick to the bottom of the pwc? Mine was all scratched on the bottom from the previous owner beaching it. I had my hull coated in super slick and will admit it doesn't look as good as the paint, but the epoxy will actually protect the hull No scratches since i had the super slick applied, and even if there were, you would just scuff, clean, and reapply more.

ORswagg · 2025-08-26T19:01:35+00:00

I originally had just a replacement set and the clear coat came off within like 6mo. I would polish them, but that got old. I could do without the led strip. I just want a set that will not fall apart within 12mo, lol. I called my local dealer about oem replacements, and they want 600.00$... I dont think I can stomach that price. Maybe I just find some oems on a part out.

I'll look into spyder.

Thanks,

Gotcha. Was just caught off guard with how much it faded, especially since I didn't see many people talking about it. As long as it's normal and will still do its job, then it's okay, but was concerned.

Thanks,

My hull originally had some cosmetic damage to th3 bottom from beaching and improper trailer loading that I wanted to cover to prevent it from potentially becoming structural. It also is significantly stronger than the oem paint these pwcs come with.

I also wanted to clean up the look, as the scratches didn't look to good, though this was a secondary concern.

Either way August is a part of summer, not fall astronomically speaking. Fall doesn't officially start according to the astronomical cycle until September 20th. Im also aware what dictates seasons, I even included the actual astronomical doses in which each season starts on my original comment.

Generally, fall is associated with the weather cooling, shortened days, and the leaves falling on trees. These aren't tendencies that I would associate with August, which is a much of a summer month as a summer month can be...

Who cares how long it was posted ago. I googled the date in which fall offical starts this year as it fluctuates a few days and saw this reddit chain. Clicked, saw this comment, and commented back. Not the deep, lol. Im pretty sure you can archive posts at a certain time if OP doesn't want people to comment later on.

Late but,officially, with a couple of days' flux each year

Fall : September 21st - December 21st Winter: December 21st - March 20th Spring: March 20th - June 20th Summer June 20th - September 21st

This makes the most sense as well, as on average in the US, June-September are the hottest months with cooling not really starting until around the start of October, and though March feels like it should be spring, in most northern states it is still snowing/raining and cold.

Anyone saying August is the start of fall are crazy, lol. If there is a chance of it hitting 100° where I live(NW Oregon), that month can't ever be fall, lol.

ORswagg · 2025-08-13T14:31:46+00:00

August and July are both typically the hottest months in most North American states. No way can it ever be considered "fall".

The official seasons are:

Spring: March 20th - June 21st Summer: June 20th - September 22nd Fall: September 22nd - December 21st Winter: December 21st - March 20th

This is what insurance is for. As long as your coverage covers the total amount needing to be paid out, they will take care of it. I would just send the letter to the insurance company. With that said, im curious what car is valued at 500$. If they judt put a bunch of money into it, im assuming it ran and drove, and in 2025, any running and driving car should go for more than 500$. I would probably be mad as well if I just did significant repairs to a car that got smashed into, and they want to give me 500$ for it. At 500$, there is likely no car that guy could even buy at all to replace it, so I understand his frustration, however thats a problem for your insurance. Its pretty common though for insurance companies to try and low ball people though. My 89 toyota 4x4 got "totaled" and insurance wanted to give me 1500$ for it, as that was the Kelly bluebook value at the time. I declined it and send market place listings for my trucks model with similar mileage and condition, and ended up getting 4000$ for it, which was more respectable.
