I recently got a 10# canister I bought from Aaron tested at Laurel Bottled Gas. I don't remember exactly how much it was, but about $30 to have it tested and refilled sounds pretty close.

If space is not a problem, I'd go with 20#.. 5# seems to go fast, and there may be a savings with 20# of CO2

If you don't mind it not fitting underneath in the stand, 20# tanks are a lot cheaper to refill/swap.... but they don't fit under stands :)

Unless you build a stand to fit a 20 under it, you know, next to the sump. :D
