You can but it's not recommended. There is usually a "dump" of gas at the end that the regulator can't/doesn't stop. The effect is much more gas in the tank than desired which has the potential to kill fish. pH probes attached to the solenoid usually catch the drastic pH fluctuation and cut the gas off before serious damage is done.
