Hi all, do any of you guys know where to get a bigger range of Co2 accessories like co2 valve, bubble counter and stuff like that.

thanks!

I have been to Seaview, NA, C328 and Polyart. All have a good range of co2 stuff.

ah thanks guys! 'cause i have a jbj solenoid and it doesn't seem to be working, light turns on when i on it and tubes, valves, bubble counters and diffuser are correctly connected... but no sign of co2 at all. tank is full!

It could be the solenoid needle valve spolit or leakage at somewhere. NA may help to troubleshoot/fix at a small price.

it may sounds stupid but did you open the valve of the co2 tank? my friend didn't open it last time, hahaha

i opened everything at full, the tank valve and needle valve. is there anything i need to adjust? there's some allen key thing located after the bolt where you secure to the co2 tank.

What is the gauge, it should show some pressure. One should be around 800-1000 psi and the other one should be around 25-30 psi

hey there. yes, both are around there. no co2 seems to be traveling through the regulator to the needle valve, i checked for leaks and there are none! this is hard.

when you switch on and off the solenoid, do you hear a click sound?
possible to remove the solenoid from the regulator? if you can, check if there is co2 coming from the output of the regulator.
then add one component at a time until you find the culprit.

You might want to check that you have opened your main valve of your cO2 tank completely. That time when I was new to the system, I only unscrew a little and I thought it doesn't work. But really you have to unscrew it properly for CO2 to diffuse out

Then use the needle valve to adjust the desired bubbles per second (bps).
