So I'm ready to take the plunge into pressurized Co2 after about year of using DIY co2. I just can't really decide what equipment to use. Whether I should just get a cheap regulator or if it truly is worth it to spend a lot more money on a really good one. Also I am concerned with the Co2 dump that can occur when a Co2 tank empties. Heres what I have been looking at:
1.) http://cgi.ebay.ca/CO2-Solenoid-Reg...ultDomain_0&hash=item3f0765ecb3#ht_5094wt_925
-This one seems to be a really good price but I don't know how well it would actually work and I don't even the company it is, but the price is outstanding
2.)http://www.sumoregulator.com/PremierLine.html
-This one seems like its really well made but its a little expensive ($250 for the whole set-up versus 103 for the one above) and I don't know if it is worth it. Also I have heard sumo regulators are great.
3.)http://www.water-testers.com/contents/en-us/d100_milwaukee-ma957-co2-regulator.html
-This one is a good price as well but I have heard mixed things about this company and their quality. Also I have heard the milwaukee-ma957 doesn't protect against end of Co2 tank dump
4.) http://www.greenleafaquariums.com/complete-co2-systems/primo-co2-system.html
-This is a truly complete system with everything including a tank and seems to be great quality but it seems really over priced. There regulators alone seem to be very good but again really pricey
What do you guys think is the best out of these as for cost and quality or are there better alternatives? Also I really want one that protects against a Co2 dump which I hear is achieved with either a good needle valve or dual stage regulator. Also wheres the best place to buy a Co2 tank (10lb to 20lb) ?
