I bought the valve off of Amazon.com here

I got the regulator on ebay for ~$50 (includes needle valve, solenoid, etc), and co2 tank at Walmart which was $20.

That's about $90 total.. Yup..

I see, thanks for the information!

Just to clarify...

You put the valve onto the top of the Paintball co2 tank as an adapter so you can put on the regulator, right?

Yup, that's it! It's also recommended to get an o-ring for the valve to prevent leaks and such. I just took mine to Osh and tried out a bunch of rings to see which one fit.

The 501 works well, and I've never had any troubles with it before. I also have a small bag of purigen in there for super-clear water.

I'm not that fam with paintballing, but am i correct to assume that the gas they inject into the tank is the same stuff we use in planted tanks?

Please don't laugh at my noob question

I wasn't able to find anything lower than 90 dollars for your regulator. Was yours used?

Thanks for your help

I bought mine new. I was actually scoping out ebay for a couple of months before I found a good deal. Some people say that paintball tanks have oil in them? I've never had any issues though.

Green leaf aquatics just came out with a paint ball regulator. It has a bubble counter and everything. It's great. I just got one for my 10g.

Paintball tanks can be either compressed air or CO2. I've never heard of oil in it. The place where I get mine filled just fills with CO2.

Hey, that T&J light, does it have any part numbers on it?

I'm wondering if it's on ebay somewhere. I e-mailed AFA, but no response.

Thanks!
