Hi Peter, that looks like the regulator i recieved this morning. Is it the type your ment to screw to hand tightness? i tightened it up a little more with a stilsons. Do you have a needle valve? You will need one to control the flow of co2 to your glass diffuser. The regulator is not precise enought to do this and will end up destroying NRV's and diffusers. Its great your going Pressurised C02. nice one
Yeah think my next purchase is going to be a decent quality UK regulator, 3rd time lucky eh! Proper crapped myself when the bubble counter blew up, what a #138## bang it made lol That regulator came from hong kong Seems ok like, I just need to get the right amount of pressure on the FE handle, as I experienced before, too much makes things go bang!
is that a needle valve. cant really see it well. If not, you can get a needle valve on the auction site, but most are in asia, so means waiting a while. heres one http/www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CO2-needle-valve-DIY-System-diffuser-planted-aquarium-/250786299838?pt=UK_Pet_Supplies_Fish&hash=item3a64073fbe#ht_3014wt_1128
Wen ya's say a needle valve do you mean a little knob kinda thing you turn like a tap or volume dial to increase or decrease whatever it is? If so then yeah it's got 1 of those
