I think the risk of end-of-tank dump is only for CO2 tanks that do not have
a needle valve controlling them.

OK, I have now managed to set up my pressurized set up. I am using a
twin gauge Deltec regulator with needle valve, an Aquamedic bubble
counter, with a 14lb bottle, feeding the CO2 directly to the intake of
my Eheim Pro II 2028.

Firstly, I have set the regulator pressure @ 1 bar, is this enough?

Bubble rate is 1 bubble per second.

Now to my main worry, TANK DUMPS!!!

I have read a few horror stories about bottles dumping their last load
of CO2 into the tank when they are coming to the end, killing all the
inhabitants. Can this catastrophy be avoided and if so, how?

Many thanx for your much needed advice!

Temp - 84
