UNS CO2 Paintball Kit (24oz Cylinder)
Product Overview
The UNS CO₂ Paintball Kit (24oz Cylinder) eliminates the guesswork by bundling a perfectly synchronized, premium carbon system into one simple package. Combining the heavy-duty, refillable 24oz aluminum cylinder with the advanced UNS Mini Dual Stage Regulator, this setup offers the ultimate sweet spot between a compact footprint and a long-lasting gas supply. It delivers a perfectly controlled, constant stream of carbon to unleash your plants' true colors, accelerate carpet growth, and naturally keep algae at bay in small-to-medium aquascapes.
*Important Notice: All UNS CO₂ cylinders are sold and shipped EMPTY due to federal transport regulations. Before ordering, please verify that a local welding supply store, homebrew shop, fire extinguisher service, or paintball center near you fills or exchanges standard CGA320 aluminum CO2 tanks.
Key Features & Benefits
- All-Inclusive Plug-and-Play Kit: Bundles a perfectly matched regulator, cylinder, diffuser, and tubing to remove installation guesswork out of the box.
- Dual-Stage Fail-Safe Protection: Advanced dual-stage regulator engineering prevents catastrophic end-of-tank dumps as internal cylinder pressure drops.
- Manual On/Off Twist Valve: Dedicated pin-valve stem on the tank gives you total control over output, preventing sudden gas dumps or leaks during setup.
- Cost-Effective Nano Dosing: Transitioning to a refillable 24oz paintball canister slashes recurring operating costs compared to disposable nano cartridges.
- Sleek Modern Finish: Styled in UNS's signature Space Grey finish for a clean, premium aesthetic inside or beside your tank stand.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does the UNS 24oz CO2 Paintball Kit arrive with gas in the cylinder?
No. Federal shipping regulations strictly prohibit the transport of pressurized gas cylinders. The included 24oz tank ships completely empty and must be filled locally at a paintball park, welding supply store, or homebrew shop before use.
2. How long will the 24oz paintball kit last before needing a refill?
On a typical 10 to 20-gallon planted aquarium running a standard 1 bubble per second rate for 8 hours daily, a single 24oz cylinder fill typically lasts between 3 to 5 months.
