 Cheapest place to buy a Co2 tank?

I want to run Co2 since it helps increase yields, but have no idea where to buy a tank. And I assume it's legal right?
Where/who has the best price? Online? In town?
I assume used is ok as long as the seals are good?
How much does a tank usually cost to fill?
How do I determine what size tank I need?

I dunno. But you posting this made me think of paintballs. I wonder if there would be a good way to rig up a paintball canister for CO2. I know you can also get cheap CO2 by mixing yeast and sugar in a bottle somewhere warm and(your garden) dark (painted bottle).
I cant imagine a tank being more than like a propaine tank or something. Maybe 50 bucks; I'd imagine cheaper on the refill.

In order to grow good weed you need to be part carpenter, electrician, plumber, biologist, geneticist, chemist, and very willing to get dirty.
I've been working with power tools since I was 8, my dad is an electrical engineer who owned a 280 gal fish tank, and I studied biology with a specialty in genetics. Getting dirty comes naturally. I think my parents inadvertently trained me to be a weed grower.
See what you think on my first try.

I realize the meter/gauge is probably hundreds of dollars, but I can easily order a good one of those online for the best price.
I'd imagine getting the Co2 tank used in town might be cheapest/best if possible.

Depending on how big the town you live in is, you might try Craigslist. I find a LOT of used equipment on there for cheap...

I would try htg if you wanna buy one, but you could rent the biggest sized tank from a place like Airgas for about $12 per month
