I took my regulator and bottle to OxyPro to have it checked out... I can't say enough good things about them, honestly amazing. They sent me to the tech to have the regulator looked at, I had a faulty seal which he diagnosed and replaced on the spot. He then went to check over the rest of the unit and replaced anything that seemed worn. During the test he found a bad gague which he replaced with a medical unit ($17).

If anyone runs into an issue with a bad regulator or even wanted it serviced, I would reccomend these people 100%.

Ive heard the same story with milwakee regulators failing, but mostly on planted tanks where they would do exactly like you described, dump co2....

While dual stage regs are the cream of the crop they are also very pricey, I would go for something inbetween like this tunze....

looks reliable.

This dumped out of the safety valve and filled the sump area with CO2, I'm thinking the skimmer pulled in the CO2 and mixed it in. The rebuilt unit is in the exact same place and working fine now... I guess we will see what happens.

Anyone have any feedback on the quality of the reefgeek CO2 regulator?
