    Diverting CO2 Solenoid into 2 outflow for 2 tanks

    I am exploring CO2 injection for my current tank which is being cycled again due to change of substrate. Prior to that, I was having a low-tech set-up, but now intending to keep carpet grass. that means most probably, I will need to get a co2 cylinder and an auto-solenoid controlled. At the same time, I am contemplating setting-up another nano planted tank (20x20x20) beside my current set-up.

    My question is, anyone of you tried manipulating the outflow of the solenoid, such that it can allow co2 injection into 2 tanks? Is there any way to control the outflow such that one output allows more co2 release than the other output?

    you can get CO2 splitter from LFS, something like bellow (picture from google).

    As what Shadow has shown, just get a 2 way splitter from LFS... each outlet will be connected to its own bubble counter, so you can adjust the BPS to each outlet individually.

    Due to space constraints, I'm using those stainless steel three way splitter leftover from my car air suspension connected to individual manual control valves to manage the co2 for each tank.
