the needle valve which i will be using :)

I dont have a picture of the solenoid hehe

Im excited to assemble it all this saturday
 
the bottle is roughly 3feet high ! But its not that large really ! Just larger then normal hehehehe

Umm the cost for my regulator is around 40 USD
The cylinder coster me - 60 USD (refill for the co2 would cost me 4 - 5 USD, refills here are cheap!)
 
Its complete now and hooked up to my aquarium :) Works fine so far, the solenoid shuts off and opens... after a while the pressure builds up and bubbles start coming out of the ceramic diffuser :) im happy with this co2 setup now
