What size CO2 tanks do you use for two 5 gallon kegs?

I have 2 5# tanks as they fit best in my fridge (I would be able to fit a 10 #er in there though).

When one tank kicks, I swap in my spare full one and then have the other refilled. This works great, especially, if I run out on a weekend or if I had a leak for some reason and I wanted to trouble shoot it for some reason.

Old thread I see, but +1 on that Bopper. I'd take two 5#'ers over a 10 any day. In fact, that's what I have. ;)
 
buy two 5# tanks instead of a 10# tank. At least that way a leak doesn't mean you lose all your Co2. Plus when the first runs out, you can refill it while the 2nd is being used - never a gap in service!

edit: LOL! I just repeated the previous 2 posts...
 
I've got a 5# tank for my two cornies and I've only had to fill it once in the past year. That is partly because it takes me about 2 months to empty a keg. If I drank it faster I'm sure I would have to refill my CO2 more often.
