OK, I'm going pressurized.

The heck with it, I'm splurging. Where's the best place to get a dual guage regulator and needle valve these days? Is the econo model from Marine Monsters OK? Is thier customer service bad? I was thinking the econo dual guage and a 5lb tank from them for $175. Maybe I can find a used tank locally. I already have checkvalves, tubing and I difuse into my Eheim canister with my currrent DIY setup. I'll skip the solenoid and bubble counter. Would this be a good setup? Thanks,

Scott

Well doesn't Marine Depot offer the same regulator for only $10 more? I've dealt with them before and it was a good experience. Also, they have a free shipping promo now so that should make up for the $10 more. Any other $100 dual guage/needle valve setups to consider? Thanks,

Scott

Shift,

That looks like a nice setup. Did you get that on aquabid? The tanks from Marine Depot are only $75 and they're supposed to be a high quality tank. The only way I think I can save on that locally would be to find a decent used tank. A new tank and that econo dual regulator/needle valve for $175 shipped sounds like a good deal.

Thanks djlen,

That link is down now and I can't seem to get into the product part of the site. I have dealt with them before though when I bought a couple of dozen amano shrimp over the internet. They didn't ship the package out for a few days(until I called) and then they shipped it ground even though I paid for 2 day. Overall, I was happy though. The package arrived OK in about 6 days and they threw an extra shrimp in.

I found some regulators on eBay:

Are these good? I can get a new aluminum 5lb tank and needle valve from Marine Depot for $95 shipped. That will give me a new setup around $140. Will I need a bubble counter?

Thanks again for the input everyone,

Scott
