I have a DIY co2 setup as follows:
The idea being to (a) control output using a needle valve and solenoid and (b) store an amount of co2 gas therefore keeping the output more constant.
Problem is that when adding a fresh mixture, the pressure raises from its normal ~25 PSI to around 40 for a few days, before it settles back down at the normal pressure. This affects the bubble rate significantly, so I have to adjust the needle valve every day until it settles down.
Anyway, I stumbled across this product on the co2 art website recently.

Unfortunately it's out of stock, but I was thinking that this (or something similar) could work to control the output. Taking a range between (say) 15 - 60 PSI as input and outputting at (for ex.) 10 PSI.
If that regulator linked above wouldn't do that, does anybody know of product(s) which could be used to cobble together such a system?
PS. I know what you're thinking - get pressurised! I can't as there's not enough vertical space under the tank.
