I have a 90G, a 20G, a 10G, and a 35G coming. I want to run them all off a single 20# cylinder that is in the basement feeeding my 90G. What do I need besides lots of CO2 proof tubing?

Design suggestions would be great.

Basically a manifold to split the co2 out of the bottle and then needle valve and bubble counter for each tank.

Something like this which has built in needle valves and bubble counters:

What I've learned from REX is it is best to have the tank as centrally located as possible and have a needle valve for each tank at the tank, not in the other room. I have 3 tanks off 1 cylinder, the bubble counters are stuck to the side of the tank and the needle valves are right underneath.
