Cheapest CO2 I've found is Ice Man in St Paul. They mainly sell dry ice, but they'll fill a 20lb CO2 cylinder for about $14.

Carib Sea Geomarine Crushed coral. Can get it at just about any LFS. That is what I used for 6 years. If you want to go with ARM or other specialty media locally may not be the cheapest route.

Tank it depends on if you just want to exchange it for a full one or fill your tank. Usually if you want to fill your tank you have to leave it for at least a day. I always just did the exchange and was out the door in 5 minutes at Toll welding....
