Best price on CO2 equipment?
I've been doing some comparison shopping, but still don't believe I'm
finding the best price on CO2 setups. Will someone please help me out - I'd like to know what some of the best prices for a CO2 cylinder and regulator are right now, and where to find them. Also, I remember awhile back, some people here were using a needle valve purchased at the home depot for fine tuning. If you have the information, (part number, description, etc.) I'd be happy to have it. Thanks. |

Best price on CO2 equipment?
Take a look at my web site
http://members.cox.net/tulsaalstons/Aquaticplants.htm Scroll down to the "High Pressure CO2" section. There are links showing my CO2 setup and where I got everything. I also have a link to a document containing information on all kinds of needle/metering valves. -- Bob Alston 918.494.4913 http://members.cox.net/tulsaalstons/ "Matt Hanson" wrote in message ...

Heartly endorse the site http://www.dlink.org/aqua/CO2.html which offers a clear, concise description and I can second his experience with the home depot needle valve (you don't get real fine control, but it works) and the duetto internal as a diffuser. |

Best price on CO2 equipment?
I agree with the earlier post on Rapids Wholesale. For info on needle
valves and other equipment, take a look at my web site. Scroll down to the "Pressurized CO2" section. http://members.cox.net/tulsaalstons/aquaticplants.htm Note the entry on the Tunze needle valve. Still checking it out but it may be the best kept secret as far as needle valves. -- Bob Alston 918.494.4913 http://members.cox.net/tulsaalstons/ "Matt Hanson" wrote in message ...

Best price on CO2 equipment?
Talking from experience - best and cheapest:
- Get a double gauge CO2 regulator from e-bay. Look for the Beverage Factory regulator. $45 including shipping. Ordered 2 times from them - great service both times - Get A GOOD needle valve Forget the $5 Home Depot. It does work but it feels and adjusts like crap. Go for the needle valve that Marine Monsters used to sell, may stil have it. It's a valve made by Clippard. Floridadriftwood has it - will be $30 or so with shipping. Too expensive, but that's the best valve out there for now. - Get a check valve. A cheap one = $.99 from any pet store will do for long enough. Later get a metallic one. - Get a full CO2 bottle from a local gas or beer brewing shop. Got to be $50 - 60 for a 5 lb. bottle. When transporting - have the bottle upright in the trunk of your car, not in the car with you. - Forget CO2 reactors or diffusers. Stick the end of the CO2 tubing into the canister filter intake. Attach the needle valve to the regulator using a 1-1/2 inch of clear hose (Home Depot). Just slip it on the barb that the regulator comes with and slip the needle valve on the other end. Leave the whole thing in the room, NOT under the tank for 2-3 days to make sure the bottle does not release the gas tru the safety valve for some reason. Done. Total cost - $120-130. You will have the best out there for the least money. Tried and true. |

I would still usea Ph controller in a sump style wet dry filter. It is very
easy to clean and maintain. I use a diffuser as well as canisters will plug with co2 injection eventually. The diffuser runs off a T. Never failed in 3 years.
