just remember this, you get what you pay for. I found that out the hard way. I ended up spending 150 bucks for a good regulator.
CO2 regulator - good deal?
- Thread starter angyles
- Start date
I haven't been looking at specific brands. I don't really know what brands to look at. But if you just look at needle valves in general, most don't seem to be $60. Most seem to run more like $20.
So sounds like overall, hold off and get something a bit better. If that's the case, is it better to get the componants and put it together, or to get a $150 kit that has everything but the tank?

They have very nice stuff here made with quality components.
I've been looking at the choice regulator which is $149.99.
It uses a fabco needle valve which is considerably better than what you get on a milwaukee or some other cheap regulator.
If you really want to buy high end they even offer the victor dual stage for $279.99 lol

not really brands, but people who make there own regulators and sell them, these three are the best places to get a quality rig.
Rex Grigg: he makes good regulators and sells the parts for them too, he is only one guy who does this for fellow hobbiest so not the fastest guy to get them out. all in all good stuff though and defiantly worth recemending.
Sumo Regulators: these are the guys i got my regulator from, and thay make a good set up. there regulators come with an extra bass check valve and some tubing too, which help out. also amazing customer service and part of the money goes the The New Jersey Aquatic Gardeners Club. i have met both of them and thay are really nice guys by the way so thay have my vote. also thay will be able to help you with any parts for the regulators too.
Green Leaf Aquariums: this is a store that is run my a member over at The Planted Tank forum (TPT), Orlando. it has a variety of regulators that are really good and he has really fast shipping. also hes a really friendly guy and you can usually find him online at TPT. he also has amazing customer support and deal in some stuff other than regulators.
