just been reading the recent thread talking about needle valves and how the needle valves on even the decent brand regulators are not entirely up to scratch.
just wondering, as someone who is yet to buy a regulator for aquariums and prone to wanting to improve on things, what makes a good regulator and what makes a bad one?
the needle valve is something obviously, but the regulator itself, does that matter? the solenoid and relay I presume just need to be reliable and none of the set up should leak.
what else would one need to consider?
i'm not into having blind faith in brand names so am thinking a bit beyond "just get a c02art or co2 supermarket one, they're the best", especially if it is recognised that reputable brand names don't do good needle valves...
