Is this complete?


Hopefully I can post the link. This is a CO2 regulator with needle valve and bubble counter. Is this complete so all I add is the tank? Or is there more to it.

Looks like you just need some sorta co2 reactor.

Tank, tubing & reactor is all that is needed, I bet if you talk to one of our sponsors, they will beat that price on that regulator...Worked for me

Tank and tubing- no problem. What does the reactor do and how much $? I am in business, I get a break on that price. If you have a suggestion on who to go to I'm all ears What I really want is for someone to lay out a complete system for me.

Check out this post: http://www.plantedtank.net/forums/sh...ad.php?t=10755

I didn't notice it before, but he doesn't show the bubble counter which comes with the all-in-one unit. As to the reactor, that are tons of DIY designs throughout these forums. I made mine for $15-$20. Search around.

Good luck,
Brian.

Reactor is for desolving C02..if money is not a problem you can buy one for around $30
You can also build one in about ten minutes with the parts handy for appro. $10

It doesn't look like that regulator has a check valve built into the bubble counter like the JBJs have, although it would be hard to see in a pic that size. It's also not listed in the description, you will need a check valve.
