not too much, just sitting gathering dust in the living room. im tossing around ideas for plumbing though. think im gonna run my extra Cascade 1500 canister, a Cerges-style external reactor, DIY inline heater module, 5lb tank (somewhere outside the cabinet) and a my custom built dual stage Air Products regulator.
