    Honestly thats a pretty fair deal too as far as the quick connect plumbing is concerned. If I had know about that 4 years ago I would have gone that route.

    as For liquid carbon dosing I'm just don't want to have to mix up stuff every few days for my dosing pump. I could drip it but the thought of an overdose is terrifying. From what I've read the vinegar breaks down after about a week.

    Hmm.. I used a gallon of vinegar that I drilled a hole in and it seemed to work just fine for me over the course of a couple months it took to run out.

    No. The whole benefit of vinegar is that it is 1/8 the carbon of vodka as is. No need to further dilute it.

    Edited to fix typo

    I thought it was 1/8th vodka.

    I can't find the 3/8" splitter anywhere, only 1/4 and 1/2, but no 3/8. Happen to have a link to them?

    You could do the same thing with a 3/8" john guest style tee if you can't find the wye. I know I have seen them somewhere, I will poke around some.
