I'm starting a high tech planted tank and I never done pressurized CO2 before.
I want something without any tinkering (needle valves). Don't mind spending more $ to get something that's hassle free.
After much reading I have come to three choices (I plan on getting a SMS122 no matter which option I go with)
1. AQUARIUMPLANTS.com's own - Electronic + SMS122 PH controller - avoids needle valve problems, better bubble counter, 3 year warranty is reasonable. price is very high for this solution.
2. Sumo premier + SMS122 PH controller - good solution from many posts
3. Milwaukee MA957 + SMS122 PH Controller - Really cheap - I have seen many posts that say a PH controller overcomes a crappy needle valve since accuracy of bbs doesn't really matter since controller turns off after PH target is reached. This makes sense to me.
Does anyone agree with option 3 being perfectly good way to overcome lower quality needle valve? I want to buy a complete solution and avoid integrating the pieces myself.
