I have a rack of tanks in my workshop (6 tanks right now, 24 gallons each, and room for 3 more).

I have the tanks running and cycled but want to add c02 for the sake of growing out some plants and such.

I have seen things about needle valves that you can "chain together" for multiple outlets. I need one with 4 or 8 valves. Does such a thing exist? Where can one find this type of hardware? I have trouble finding some of this stuff locally.
 
Home Depot, Lowes perhaps etc.
Look for 1/8 brass fitting, they will be with Nylon threaded fittings, brass compression etc.
You want the plain old 1/8" brass fittings (threaded) and pipe.
You need a few T's and a few male to male connectors for the T's and that's it pretty much.
Just add needle valves, eg Clippard sels the one's I've been using for over 10 years for 10.91$ and then about 10$ shipping. Ask for the brass adaptor to 1/8" for the valves, call them up as they are helpful etc on the phone.

Then assemble the pieces togther how you want them, add pipe compound etc to the threads. Tighten good. Add valves and connect to regulator.

I have a pic if you want I can send you. Or you can explain how to post a pic here using a jpeg. Never has worked for me:-) Mac user.
