Blue Z Reef Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Hard to beat the aquarium plants carbon doser, runs about $300. I liked the aquatic life mini that I used. The needle valve is the only thing I'd swap but once I tinkered with it a bit I didn't have any issues. Unfortunately they seem to be discontinued:( http://www.marinedepot.com/AquaticLife_CO2_Regulator_with_Lighted_Solenoid_CO2_Regulators_for_Aquariums-AquaticLife-AK01217-FICORE-vi.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanareef Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) Your box is full This is a industrial regulator rebuilt for CO2, new seals, diaphrams, guages, spring, Clippard solenoid and Fabco needle valve just hook up to your controller and your CO2 tank and ready to go. Comes with 10ft of CO2 proof hose $285 I get down to Garretts quite often and can meet up.

Vance164 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Gla regulators are the best in the planted tank world. But I've had good luck with the 100 dollar one from amazon aquatech I believe.

TheClark Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I had poor luck with the amazon one (no offense Vance, just my experience). Aquarium Plants and Charles industrial regulators are both good. I have an industrial regulator and it is like a rock... rock steady that is... Good luck!

No offense taken they can be hit and miss but I bought one for my planted tank of a budget and Ave ran it close to a year now with no problems. Other than I order the one with the cfm gauge as opposed to bubble counter on accident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorge Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Gonna be hard to beat Charles (wannareef) regulator. They hold pressure consistently with no fluctuations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
