I'd answer it if I could, unfortunately have never used acrylic or even had acrylic tanks; hopefully someone more experienced can chime in!
a crappy video I made the other day for the tanks, will update when I've cycled the other ones; held up a bit with filter issues etc.
I custom made 2 36x8x8 tanks for a friend and they were pretty sweetOr a long low tank, that's what I'd do if I hadn't done the trio; maybe a 35x8x9 inch optiwhite, planted
You do not need an adapter for the fluval co2 as you cannot run the air soft cartridges anyways, don't lead people with wrong advice without first hand experience. The cheapest option is the threaded 16 or 25g co2 cylinders for bikes, you can pick the up for around a dollar each. They must be threaded in order to work with I believe 3/8" threaded ends. These are compatible and can be interchanged with the flucal 20g tanks
The air soft co2 does not have threading, they are smooth canisters and are not compatible. You would have to make something that apply e ought pressure to them from the bottom to puncture the tops while modifying the flu value regulator to prevent leaking. Not easy to do so best to use 16 or 25g bike canisters that are threaded
Would these do? I just want an alternative since those fluval cartridges are so overpriced.

This seems to be the lowest cost. About $1.08 a piece.
