Sure, the Milwaukee regulator will suit your needs. If it were me, I'd get one of Orlando's regulators - top-quality, excellent service. They just introduced a new regulator - the "ideal" regulator...Get It!! It's sweet!

I'd get one of the following Victor dual stage chrome plated medical grade regulators and add a solenoid and an Ideal metering valve. I have 5 of the Victor regulators. The Victor regulators and the Ideal metering valves are a great combination! I have 2 of the SMS 122 controllers and I haven't had any trouble with them.

This is the regulator that ColeMan mentions.http://www.greenleafaquariums.com/co2-regulators.html

Orlando has complete systems too. He doesn't have the price of a complete system using the "Ideal Regulator" listed. Soon, he will have 10# cylinders in his line.

SuMo has a very good line of regulators too.

Rex Grigg does too.
