recommend me a regulator

[discusdan]

I'm not having much luck with the whole co2 injection thing...

I've had two regulators so far, a hsl and a non branded one and both have developed leaks.

I'm after a good quality regulator now preferably with a solenoid that will last. not after any more Chinese rubbish.

what can people recommend?

Tmc regs are solid but not working pressure adjustable so can struggle with atomisers, jbl regs are good IMO adjustable working pressure though a little expensive.

I have the UP A165 from tankscape. It has adjustable working pressure and mine has been faultless. Has always maintained its bubble count.

I agree with big clown diy a 2 stage reg, it will work out a bit more expensive but will give a reg that will last years and years and be so much more accurate and trouble free, a good diy reg can be achieved for less than £ 125 and you will never have the worry of end of tank dump also a good needle valve will only need setting once, done properly you could have a set and forget system

where's a good place to look for info and parts on diy regs?

cheers.

Just type in google diy aquarium regulator theres a load of links with tons of info, from what ive learnt the most important part is a good needle valve
