Deluxe Fully-Automatic CO2 System

I don't have that exact one but its very similar and was real easy and not that complicated to setup.
The only thing you need to watch out for is end of tank dump.

I can't disagree with that. I should've got it when it was on sale a while back, but I've been putting it off for months. I did get 6% cash back though which pretty much only paid for shipping and some change....lol

End of tank dump? I'm not sure I'm following. :-)
 
No worries about tank dump.... even if you didn't have a solenoid that shuts down when lights off your needle valve would still act as a regulator. Bottle dump is when the only thing left in the C02 tank is in gaseous form all the liquid has been spent. You might have to worry about that without a needle valve, but that is one of the critical components of any C02 system... Yea, its pricey but hey, enjoy it and who cares if you could get a better deal somewhere else. why worry about it now? money has already been spent. no sense feeling bad even before you get it..

Well, the reason it's so high is because it comes with the PH controller. It monitors the PH so I don't think I'll have to worry about any kind of tank dump because it would automatically shut off. The PH controller by itself is 200 bucks on that website.
 
When you get this setup and running let us know how it goes ....
 
I really don't see the need for a PH controller. It is money you don't need to spend. Get a drop checker adjust the CO2 to be where you want it and lock it in. Put the solenoid on a timer to turn it off at night to save CO2. I have 4 tanks rigged that way, I have never had high CO2 problems and have never had any CO2 dumps.
