After 6 months of running DIY CO2 in a 20G planted setup I decided to splash the cash on a pressurised system. I ordered a D&D setup and have got it set up and working with no problems. However, the regulator only comes with a low pressure gauge. I didn't think that this would be a problem as...

Thanks for the reply. I am currently running DIY CO2 with my current setup with 2 WPG. As i'm experiencing poor plant growth and some algae problems i've decided to experiment with EI. My nitrate is regularly testing <5ppm so i suspect that this is the cause of the problems. Hopefully...
