Best place to buy your CO2 Equipment!

[Northernforest]

Just as the title states what is the best place to get your co2 equipment? What regulator,reactor,Solenoid Valve do you recommend. I will be setting up a 100 gallon aquarium. I am also fooling around with he idea of coveting it to my 90 gallon too. I will be getting a 20lb co2 tank. I have medium light on my 100 and medium to high light on my 100 and 85 gallon.

personally i like Greenleaf Aquariums as a sort of one stop shop to get every thing and be done with it. admittedly there not the cheapest but thay have good regulators and every thing else also good customer service and fast shipping.

Rex Grig also has a bunch of stuff for sale dealing with CO2. haven't dealt with him personally but have heard real good thing about his regulators and his customer service.

if you only looking for the regulator i would check out Sumo Regulators. this is where i got mine from and the thing is rock solid. they usually send along tubing and a check valve with there rigs too which is nice.

and if you the DIY type of person you could always build your own regulator from parts you. it tends to be cheaper and you can usally find good deal on regulators and needle/metering valves on ebay or other places.

btw what is the wattage you have over your tank medium lights don't say much

Ozymandias pretty much hit all the sites I would visit for CO2 equipment. I have one of Rex Grigg's regulator, and his stuff is well-built.

I got my tank and regulator from my local welding store. All the other fittings/connectors I needed I got from the local hardware store. Might be the way to go if you are looking at a 20lb tank.

I have 260 watts of PC on both of my tanks. So the 100 is 2.6 WPG and the 90 is 2.88 WPG .

I would save yourself some money and get a Milwaukee regulator with a 2 outlet mannifold if you want to run CO2 to 2 tanks.

You might want to check if they have these in stock. I was trying to order a splitter and had a heck of a time finding one. I ended up getting mine on ebay from over seas.Took over 2 weeks to get delivered.
