Get as large of a tank as you can afford. You'll end up going to the fill up station less. Otherwise just buy a CO2 generator.

Do you use insulted duct on your cool tube? Do you have to have your chiller and or res in the same room? You could also look into a sulfur burner--will take care of all powdery mildew l all mold except for deep bud rot-and you run a risk of that with your humidity at 70. I have a 10,000 btu delonghi that works like a charm in a flowering room--no drip pan and humanity goes out with exhaust the unit run 110v--8.5 amps on full---1050 watts.(problem is that it sucks out your co2 and smell)---I run tanks in the summer and have a natural gas burner for the winter. My light system is passive with insulated ducts and sealed reflectors. I only run my exhaust at night when the light are off.
I work at a bar, I get tanks free. I'd assume they're 20lbs maybe more..? I just got my co2, regulator, and atmosphere controller. My atmosphere controller is programmed to have the co2 disburted when lights are on and inline fan can be off if the temp isn't hotter than 85. When the temp goes lower than 85, co22 turns on for 15. Then exhausted. Repeated until lights are off. The C.A.P. controllers are idiot proof. My tank has lasted over 2 weeks, my ppm doesn't lower 1200 and stays 1400 mostly until exhausted. Co2 is for people who have money bottom line..... Or access to free tanks...
