For those who store their cfc filled with cleaner

What do you use to cap the ends with? I don't have the little caps that came on the copper spool anymore. I've been using tubing folded in half and taped up.

What do you use?

I used flare fittings. Helps to keep the tubing on there too.

The same as you do, it was cheep and easy and if you ever need to they are easily replaceable

You could just use a single piece of siphon tubing, stuck onto both ends of the CFC, essentially forming a loop.

What kind of sanitizer do you/can you store in there?

I usually sanitize with iodophor. Is that OK?

Star San is an acid based sanitizer, prolonged contact with soft metals will cause pitting. The recommended contact time should be around 2 minutes.
