I have the largest CO2 Atomizer Diffusor from GLA and I have to say it impressed me (no easy accomplishment) after having used a wide variety of reactors and diffusors over the years. It is, hands down the best one I've had yet (now almost 10 years into the hobby).

I'm not sure, but I wouldn't get bogged down with that detail. It won't allow end-of-tank dumps from what I know, and that's all that matters (with respect to single/dual stage anyway). If you really need details, ask Orlando by emailing GLA directly.

Anyone have more reviews on this regulator? Also what is end of tank dumps?

crice8 · 09-15-2012, 12:24 PM

I have mine for about a month now and it is still amazing!

**herns** · 10-16-2012, 07:52 PM

It seems GLA is out of stock of smaller size atomizer. Anyone have tried e-eebay products who can share reviews?

There is one store base in San Francisco that sells the same. I forgot what it was.

**jkan0228** · 10-16-2012, 09:52 PM

Orlando's supposedly getting in a new shipment today. They should be updated in a few days.

**herns** · 10-17-2012, 04:25 AM

I just found out they are also selling Up aqua atomizer. Had anyone use this to share a feedback?

I ve read somewhere GLA in tank atomizer was manufactured by Intense and they are made in Taiwan or China.

I think there must be the same product sold somewhere on the web.

**herns** · 10-17-2012, 07:40 PM

I just found this on eee-bay.
It looks the same.

Also, what's the working pressure on this thing? I have an atomic diffuser so it must be greater than 30 psi

Did you end up figuring out if this was the same thing? Looks like its 220V instead of 110V so would probably need an adapter, and is the thread on that thing CGA320 too like the GLA one?
