Hi guys,
I was going to go with a small scale CO2 set up but after reading I think I would rather go with a larger bottle/reg and have it last for a while. Possibly down the road adding a tank as well to connect to it.

I was looking at this regulator...

Needle Valve

And then looking for a solenoid. Anyone have an recommendations?

The only other item I would need is a solenoid. Can anyone point me in the right direction for this?

I already have a bubble counter and check valve so those will not have to be built in.

Thanks in advance!

the parts are ok, but you can get something better.
If you can build yourself a co2 setup, there is no point to get the parts that are not much superior than a completed system, if the cost is the same.

Betta - What would something better be? I'm all ears!

Get a double stage regulator first, then a burket solenoid for easy connection(or other but not easy to connect, example, mouse solenoid), metering valves selection, check my signature

How about a Matheson 3122?

Are you talking about adding a bottle of yeast/co2 mixture to all this equipment?

 

[DaveFason]

No. Using a 2.5 lb tank.

In your title it says DIY CO2 build so I was thinking 2 ways 1 was the way Higher Thinking(or I think) was as in a DIY CO2 mix or the 2nd was this a DIY CO2 regulator build.
