CO2 regulators

[AndyL]

Heads up for all those working on DIY calcium reactors etc...

Princess auto's got a argon/co2 regulator in the flyer for...

Hmmm thats right no prices... Ok, it'd cost you about the same as 8 - 2 cheeseburger meals at mcrottens.

You will also need an adapter to fit it to a low pressure co2 tank like those commonly used for reactors. I believe that PA sells them too. Or just get the high pressure tank for welding gas.

??? I'm confused...

See now with planted tanks we'd take a regulator like this, to step down to a reasonable presure... Then add a needlevalve on the output to step down to bubbles/second flow.

As far as I understand there should only be one type/pressure of CO2 tanks...

The high pressure tanks have a cone type seat that uses no gasket to seal it. The low pressure tanks have a flat seat with a gasket to seal.
