Sorry... I don't understand your question.
W just e tank, reactor/difusser.

well yes it will work.. but that will be assuming that you have a regulator.----------------

GodLike InsiDe, IdioT OuTsiDe
I think you mean a CO2 tank + diffuser without using a regulator(many refer this as solenoid).
I have a friend using this setup and yes, it is possible.
He uses the main valve for adjusting the CO2 flow rate.
Please don't use a 'manual regulator', it is not what it is....a 'manual regulator' is just a throttle/onoff valve...no different from the main valve.
Get a proper regulator (that come with a solenoid) if you intend to spend $.
Oh ok cos i'm new in CO2 system and got alot of things to learn.
I have attach a pic in e link below, could anyone tell me wat size is e tank and wat else is in e package.
One guy is selling his system and i'm not sure.

regulator and solenoid are 2 separate items.
since most are getting co2 sets from lfs, it is natural for the c02 system to have regulator, needle valve and solenoid packaged together.
a proper regulator is also known as pressure reducer. it reduces tank pressure of 900++ psi to less than 40 psi. most likely there will be 2 gauges attached, one will show tank pressure while the other will show working pressure.
needle valve is a flow control valve. you adjust this to get the bps that you want.
solenoid valve is an electrically controlled valve to 'switch' on/off your co2.

ok thks.
R u able to show me pics of how a regulator, needle valve and solenoid looks like?----------------

Is solenoid e one that looks like a mouse?
Is regulator e one that looks like a mouse but only have one ear?
i dunno how to explain wat i wanna ask oso[----------------

thks for e link, but do u know wher to get a cheap CO2 system?[
More regulator info for you...
Refer to pix
Did you see mickey mouse, that is the regulator (it regulate pressure at 30-40psi, thats why it is call regulator)
Bubble counter, this is only one example of bubble counter, not neccessary to use this type.
Cheapest CO2 system???, depends what you want...some people want cheap but say taiwan system is no good enough!
You know what I mean? some people just want cheap, good and big??? where to find.
Taiwan Regulator (with solenoid) - $85
Taiwan JBJ Regulator - $120
CO2 tank 2litre - around $80
3.5litre - around $95
5litre - around $120
Try NA....
You ask question like this....who dare to answer..----------------

No one will comment as this may offend the advertiser.
'Make no enemy' is my goal of life.
eric thks for e pic and explainations, it really helps alot
i heard e taiwan brand hv history of leaking.
u know how much does NA charge for a standard 2L or 3.5L system?
keke did i ask e qnts too directly liao[
From e pic that i had attach, wats e single guage thing thats attach to e tank?
Please refer to price above, get the JBJ regulator. Price is only aga-aga (but was from NA), should be very close.
I'm not sure about reliability...only own one for 3months, heard alot, but that is the fair risk for low price...some more with spare parts (solenoid is the one which is likely to fail, NA selling replacement solenoid at $25) to replace (only for JBJ).
Got Money to try German??? Imagine, Regulator=$185 ,Solenoid=$85, total = $270 (vs $120 taiwan?)
Why complain?
Got cheaper taiwan one, $85 (I personally don't dare to try, no spare parts)
Sorry, I refuse to answer your last question because I had made a lousy comment earlier. You will get me into trouble.
Rgds.
so a standard system for a 2L w all e necessary equipment is ard $200 rgt?
u got pm oso[
