CO2 PROBLEM SOLVED!

I've been struggling with the "top" regulator for almost a year now, trying to "get it". The controller I am mentioning here is the brand that gets mentioned 9 times out of 10 when someone asks on FB what brand of controller to buy. So the reason for the argument is that it's in my 75 gallon tank and the needle valve of this "peak regulator" is too sensitive at high speeds. I'm pushing CO2 somewhere around 20bps to get 30ppm. I was curious to see how this regulator from FZone would work, splitting two bubble counters back into one before hitting my regulator. I have to say I love it! Instead of running my BPS at around 20bps, I can all run around 10bps, which allows me to make many more small adjustments. This is EXACTLY the solution I was looking for. Aside from the benefits of an additional manifold, this regulator appears to be of equal or better quality in both workmanship and parts as the regulator is 'premium quality'. picked up. If I peeled off the sticker, you wouldn't be able to tell which is which. And that other regulator was twice the price, not even counting the extra manifold. I know some of you cringe at the cheap "plastic" check valves I see in the video, but real stainless steel CO2 check valves are made to order. I only had one and it's still there after the T-splitter. It might be a bit redundant now to have three in this setup, but I think it keeps one bubble counter from putting extra pressure on the other. I'll update this review as I go through it so everyone knows how it compares to the one previously mentioned.

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • Crumpled
