Also TMC are really good for replacing faulty bits

I've just spent 2hours reading through threads.
It seems that the co2 supermarket one does a better job and is a bit cheaper .
I will be getting a good quality reg later on but I need something asap , think I may just take the plunge with the co2 supermarket .

Fair play mate. I emailed the above company about there reg but got no responce so have decided against it. All my other kit is tmc also so thought I should stick to the theme

Ok fair enough . If you have emailed them recently then they are on annual leave ATM , that's what it says on the website .
Or there is the up a165 adjustable from tankscape .

I have been in the market for a reg for about 6 months but there is so much conflicting information on the inter webs I just figured I would go with what I know and I trust tmc. I'm sure Andy will tell you that aquarium regs are just cheap welding regs with a high price (I'm not disagreeing with you mate) im all about convince and I don't trust myself to mod a welding reg (pressurized gas worries me) that being said I will give feedback on the one I have purchased in due time.

Fair comment , everything's over priced for any market which is targeted to make monies ....
I like the the idea of going down the boc dual stage reg and buying all the 'bits' but right now I need my co2 to be working correctly as I've just flooded my tank so I need a 'will do the job' reg asap so haven't got time to research all the parts i need , which ever reg I buy I will use as a spare in the future anyways ,
It's either tmc £70 , Up a 165 £75 or the one from co2 supermarket !

Modifying a welding reg is no more difficult or dangerous than changing fe and replacing seal
Getting the right bits togeather is the hardest part and there are plenty threads telling you how do it

 

[Samjpikey]

Yea I understand that but right now I just want to be able to press pay and have one delivered which is going to be a lot better then the one I have , as its so bad , can't get any type of normality with the reg its shockingly crap no control with the needle valve whatso ever , really it just wants lobbing in the bin lol

I do believe you mate but like I said convince is another of my issues (I'm lazy) I enjoy the maintaining of my tanks but hardware gives me a head ache

Cost and convenience are swaying factors with most people but i like accuracy and quality not chinese blahblahblahblah. I suppose its my engineering background thats responsable for my opinion but each to their own. The reg for the tank in my sig is a £40 fleabay special its ok for a put me on but not what i want long term because the needle valve is pants

 

[Samjpikey]

I will be coming to you big clown for a guide on the right parts when I look into getting my boc .
But I've decided I will do the £54 reg for a cheaper option and will use that as a back up in the future !! Happy days . Beer and BBQ to go to later so end of stress haha !!

[Samjpikey]

[Samjpikey]

Now that you've got a boc I guess you will get all the parts to make it all work .
You should do a guide on that as well .
Get people using a good system not these Chinese copies .
