Im thinking of getting one of these off ebay. One is the Azoo Pressure Regulator Solenoid Valve with 110v Solenoid. Ebay Link I heard that it doesn't have a control valve to limit the Co2. This the same one?

Azoo co2 regulator w/ solenoid
CON: No instructions in English were included. It did not have an adjustment knob to reduce or increase the pressure coming out of the reg.

The other is a Milwaukee MA957 Ebay Link But the problem here is the bubble counter. Im packed under my fish tank for room so can i remove the Bubble counter and move it down the line a little or just pick up an after market one.

I was also looking into the JBJ set up. Just thought id like to hear what most ppl think on them before i place my order.
 
The azoo ones aren't very good. The milwaukee ones are good, but you want to keep the stock bubble counter. The setup they use is the best.
 
Thanks, Think i should just get the package deal he has for the pH controller? Im going to need one of these right?

Check www.thatfishplace.com . They had a Milwaukee Set (w/o pH controller) for under $100. I believe it was a regulator, with a w/ solenoid, counter, and needle value. (I was browsing a few weeks ago).

How big is your tank? My planted tank is only a 20, and I found the paintball co2 bottles work pretty well and is small enough to store in tight spaces. I've gone 2 months already and no refill yet. lol. However, like some of the others here have clarified, the regulators for those canisters have different thread sizes - FYI.

To be safer, yes, but you can live without the controller.

Its about the same price thanks tho. Oh what do u mean Thread size? o.o
 
The threads on the tank, and nut that is on the reg are different for welding co2, and the paintball co2.

i could not find this "deal" where is it? i'm thinking of adding co2 to my 75gal.
 
Ebay has the best prices. Look out for the Milwuakee 957 reg setup, and the Milwuakee SMS122 pH controller. I've seen the pair as low as 150 with a 10 lb cylinder.
