I have Dennerle also so i can try it on that as well.
It would be worth it to get it sorted out.

Ive just emailed clarke about threads on their disposable which will give the size of the jbl reg too so we'll know all three then

 

[G H Nelson]

Hi
I've ordered a DD bottle...from Aqua essentials.
So we will find out in a few days time.

Great stuff hoggie. Let us know how you get on!? 🙂

 

[Andy Thurston]

Just read email from clarke their 600g disposable co2 has the M10x1 thread.

 

[Andy Thurston]

Thanks for the info

Hi dave I've just had an idea about blocking the hole. If its on the female thread you could cut the female thread down so that the adapter seals at the bottom of the thread rather than finishing half way down before the hole. It will be easier than trying to plug the hole up. You would have to make sure that no bits get into the regulator and you need to cut in the right place though.

Hi Crew
Received the DD bottle from Aqua essentials...to check which adapter you needed.
This is the Aquili regulator on the bottle



This is the adapter you will need....http://www.aquaristikonline.ch/catalog/adapterstuumlck-nachfuellbare-flasche-p-120.html

On the lines of adapters.
Found one of the old DD adapter in the cupboard.
Aquili & DD on the right....which as no collar.

Cheers

I have measured the thread length....on both of the adapters.
Approx 8mm on the Aquili adapter.
Approx 12.5mm on the DD adapter.
This will give you a idea if the Aquili will cover the said hole?
davem has measured to where the hole is located..which is approx 5mm..so the Aquili adapter should cover the hole.

May have the required length of thread also.

Thanks Hoggie, are you still using the DD adapter? If your not and would like to sell it i would defiantly be interested. 🙂

This thread has confused me, but that's not too difficult 😕

Have you found a solution yet?

Meanwhile I will continue to use welding gas from Halfords which is a fair bit cheaper than the D&D cylinders

[Lee Sweeting]

Unfortunately no solution yet 🙁. It's a pain in the ass to be honest. Think I'm just gonna buy a new reg, when my co2 stock runs out. How much are the cyclinders from halfords? I bought a load from tool station at £12.00 each.

 

[nbaker]

The SIP cylinders from Halfords are £13.99, think I will stick to these for my Rio 125 as they last about 10-12 weeks, but will look into a FE setup for my 240l tank.

Edit: just noticed the Toolstation cylinders are 390g the ones from Halfords are 600g

 

[nbaker]

Just noticed the Halfords 600g is £16.99 & the 390g is £13.99.

 

[Lee Sweeting]

Ah! I've been getting the 390g from tool station for £12.00. I also have a rio 125 🙂. I think FE is defiantly the way forward.

 

[nbaker]

Your Rio 125 looks great Lee, any updates? 🙂
