How to get 4 tanks injected w/ co2? Any guidelines anyone?

Let's cut to the chase, I want to grow a lot of plants, honestly. And you know why!

Okay firstly, I would like to know, like the title says "How to get 4 tanks injected w/ co2? Any guidelines anyone?"

I would like to know how to get a simple 10 lb cylinder to start injecting co2 into 4 tanks.

I have a 60 Gallon High tech, and three 10 gallons. 60 gallon is currently being injected with co2 diffused via fluval filter. Three 10 gallons are currently empty with water, heater, filter, eco-complete, intense daylight N:vision bulbs.
I have contacted with Rex grigg numerous times about how to do it, but he's quite sickly at the moment I believe, unfortunately...he can't get to me soon..... I have his best darn regulator with ideal needle valve.

Now! From start to finish! How do I get three additional co2 lines for my three 10 gallons? :look: Pictures will suffice very well on how to do so.

What tools do I need? What hardware do I need? What this or that do I need? Tell me all you can be. Right here and now! THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR READING. I HAVE BEEN PATIENCE SICK WITH TRYING TO ASK REX FOR HELP A WHILE(HES NOT RESPONDING) I NEED YOUR GUY'S HELP BADLY. HEAL ME WITH THE WORDS I NEED TO UNDERSTAND....!

But seriously, I will greatly appreciate the ones who will help me.

Yeah, I thought we already had this thread. I can't say for sure how to tell you to connect to your Rex Reg, not sure what the connection coming out of the solenoid is. Anyway, for a prefab system, best bet is to get teh 6-way splitter, with two plugs, and then just use the other four. Then you still have 2 extra for future expanison.


Anybody know what the connection type and size is that connects the needle valve to the bubble counter on the milwaukee/JBJ reg is? I think it's 1/8" NPT. If that's what it is, you need two of these:

You can see the price unless you're logged in, but it's $2.56/each.

I can look when I get home about what plug you'll need, but I don't know about the connection on a Rex regulator.

I needed to make this thread so everyone knows what I'm dealing with, not dealing with 12 port manifold.

Anyway about what you were talking about... it should be 1/8" yes. I'll be getting 2.

Like what jmhart posted..see, what is this? I dont even know about this 1/8". You mentioned about that splitter without including this?!? Just kidding Zigman, you helped out, thanks.

the milwaukee reg has 1/8 NPT.
Since I dont own one of Rex's great set ups, I dont know what size you need.

Now If I had said it was 1/8, and it turned out top be 1/4 then I'd be an idiot...
Anyway, good luck with this.
Its really not this complicated.

Kay, thanks

Rex is still sick. August till now. Ive been kinda waiting on him to help me out like until now, still no response when I emailed him sept 29th about refunding/helping with co2 until now he has not emailed me yet..... Rex must be awfully sick on his hands. I'm losin' it. I wanna ask him a lot of questions about his reg, but he's sick! what a drag. Not trying to offend him or anything.....but gah! the patience is really starting kill me to this point.
