Where to buy good and cheap solenoid regulator?

[poon]

Presently got from a friend a CO2 set but the solenoid regulator is out of order. Pls someone tell me where to get cheap and good solenoid regulators. Also which is better one gauge or two?

Hi there,

You can try your luck at Nature Aquarium. The Taiwanese made JBJ brand of solenoid regulator is pretty cost-effective. There are other brands but I can't recall their names at the top of my head. A twin gauge would provide you with both the internal CO2 cylinder pressure (you'll know that it is time to top up the cylinder when the pressure starts to dip) and the external CO2 pressure (I haven't used much of this tough).

Good luck.

Well, I used mine for about a year and a half without problems before I had to shut down my tank as I went overseas. Perhaps the rest of the forumers can share their experience with JBJ with you? Why not make a trip down to NA? Talk to Mr Chan and he can be pretty helpful.

Good luck!

Yeah he can be pretty helpful, you just have to drill him with questions. He hooked me up with a non-solenoid one for work and fixed up twin-gauge solenoid for home. Just be very clear on what you are looking for. But as one of the posters say. You get what you pay for. This thing will last you for a damn long time.

Poon,

Please spell properly in our forums. We don't encourage words like pls, thks, wat, mi, u, etc.
