i am making the jump to pressurized co2
i have a 5 lb tank for a 20 gal long and need to get a regulator setup

i am gonna go with the sumo as i have heard good things about it, probably that premiere line with solenoid, which i am going to plug into my light timer apparently

i dont know what to do about the distribution of pressure i guess?
there is a knob on my co2 tank, then i imagine the dealie on the front of the regulator is another knob, then on the needle valve is another knob? should i have the first two fully open? should i try and distribute the pressure evenly? keep the pressure off of the needle valve?

will the premier series sumo prevent end of tank dump? aside from some sort of diffusion device do i need anything else?
 
When you first setup the reg you will open the tank slowly until it is all the way open.
Then slowly turn up the reg knob until you reach your set working pressure.

Then set the needle valve to desired bps.

Serg and Mike are great guy's to deal with I'm sure they will include detailed instructions, if you have any questions don't hesitate to email them.
 
Working pressure is the right guage, on my ma957 I set it to 20 psi. Working pressure is the ammount of gas you will be sending to the needle valve. But like I said it'll come with easy instructions and mike & serg are top notch with customer support.
