i'll be letting go my co2 set in about a week,will take pic.and post here soon.the set will come with 5L s.tank/regulator with solenoid/surface skimmer/co2 reactor/bubble counter plus some additional stuff.
Yes it's always better to have solenoid and you do not need to shut off the co2 manually which will shorten the life span of the valve. []
mok should know better
it's the manufacturer based near pioneer road
they have academic discounts, cheaper than 30
if you want the solenoid + the valve, bioplast is selling it for 80+ iirc
the 155 you're talking about i presume is for dennerle and other branded solenoids, right?
what about just a selenoid, now that i know it can be that cheap? ask from bioplast? I thought bio plast quite ex...
what is this pioneer rd manufacturer's address/company name?
thanks.

bioplast juz tell them you're looking for a solenoid
as for the valve thing, that i'm not sure
i found this address in my hp, 6 kian teck way jurong, tel 62640152

Nick,
Hi there, my planted tank is almost 3years old. I has been using DIY CO2 for 2 years and get sick of it as the CO2 supply is really inconsistent. I am using Nisso Volca Sand and normal marine sand (lime free). For plant, i get them from LFS and farms in Malaysia and here.

Hi Alfa Low,
Sorry to inform u that I have get the CO2 set from jade.
I also when to Nature to get my sand and base fert the same day. So may need your exp next time if i face any problem.
BTW where do u get plant from?
nick
loupgarou,
the co2 system u've now consist of only the co2 cylinder,
pressure regulator and needle valve right?
to upgrade to one which can be controlled by a timer, u'll
have to add a solenoid valve between the pressure regulator
and the needle valve.
the solenoid valve consists of the solenoid(just a coil of
wires actually) and of cos the valve itself(different from
needle valve). The solenoid is not expensive and should
cost less than $20 even for made in Germany ones. The
trick is finding the suitable valve which is compatible
with the existing pressure regulator, needle valve and
the new solenoid. Pneumatic valves doesn't come cheap.
you may be better off buying the complete set of regulator,
solenoid valve and needle valve from LFS. Got my Kare's
set for $130 more than 2 yrs back.
when you hear pple saying this spoil that spoil, it's usually
just the solenoid coil. I replaced mine with a FESTO part
for $17.80 after discount. yimin has mentioned the address
and part no. not all sets from LFS use the same solenoid,
so it's safer to bring the valve down to test for fit.
when LFS says they are selling 'German' regulator with
solenoid valve, it's only the solenoid coil that is from
Germany.
hope i'm of some help.
