So I want to add pressurized C02 to my 10gal and 2.5 gal at the same time. with the same setup, is that possible?

And does anyone have any recommendations on a set? and or different parts I should use?
 
Splitting CO2 supply is something in my near future. I know there are units sold that allow you to service more than one tank. I will let those who know how answer and await their response for all our benefit. Good luck.
 
it sure is possible. you just need a spliter(manifold i think they call it) like the ones they sell on green leaf aquariums. or a single manifold, split with a t-valve, and two in line needle valves

you can get a setup with a 10# canister for 180+ shipping (plus your manifold) which i think is a good price.
parts are found at:
water-testers.com
aquariumplants.com

needle vlaves: drsfostersmith, marinedepot, google
will cost about 20-30 bucks
bubble counter (inline)
about 20 for a super fancy glass one from green leaf
 
What are all the parts that I need for the whole system?
 
I recommend the Greenleafaquarium.com, the Choice unit is good (I own 2 of them personally), as it comes complete with bubble counter, needle-valve, and solenoid besides the regulator. For a tank I would look locally, beverage or welding places are great sources of help with either selling/renting a tank or where to buy even.

And with greenleaf, they sell the manifolds too, and will combine the regulator of your choice with the manifold and test it too, before it gets in your hands, great customer service.

You live in Jersey? You definitely want to go with http://www.sumoregulator.com/

Serg and Mike both live in north jersey and will help you with anything you need! These guys have awesome regulators and co2 equipment at comparable prices.
You can most likely forgo shipping because you live so close.
 
Hi,

I think you better stick up with cost effective DIY CO2. As commercial systems are quite expensive.

I use DIY CO2 build from 2L bottle, works well for my 35 gal heavily planted tank.

I have a beer bar in my back garden and was thinking of carnaging one out of that, pretty simple just need a needle valve and a bubble counter an reactor!
