I'm looking at injecting CO2 into my 900 litre tank.

I have a 6KG cylinder from the local pub and I now need the rest of the kit, I have read a lot of articles in the US about the JBL and Milwaukee regulators and these really seem to be good, but I have not found any articles about the Dennerle or Aqua-Medic Regulators. Another contender and much cheaper option would be a generic regulator and separate bubble counter.
Has anyone had any experience of regulators that could offer some advice?

Options for PH Monitors appear to be Milwaukee and Dennerle?

The Aqua-Medic 1000 appears to be the only external reactor large enough to cope?

If anyone has setup a large CO2 system, I would welcome your comments and experiences.
 
I use smaller disposable welding bottles, because they are easier to hide ! But I also use pub cylinders for welding... any good welding supplier will be able to sort you out with a reg for around £20, but controlling the flowrate we need may be tricky, so I also got a "needle valve" off ebay for a couple of quid.

I plumb this lot upto a ladder (again ebay - £4) with silicon airline... so far a single disposable cylinder has lasted over a year !
 
I honestly believe you'll get more replies on the Planted board. I know George, for example, users Dennerle and is very pleased with it, never sticks.
