Post by ddavila06 »

so the set up sold..took it to the post office today, im quick :D

now im shopping around for good price and quality for a good splitter, this seems ok, it says is capable for low flow rate and easy to set up. price is not that bad..anyone has feedback at all?

http://www.amazon.com/AQUATEK-Way-Split ... 721&sr=8-5

if not completely satisfied, can you point me on a different direction? what would you suggest that works well and is not super expensive (~$50 buget, plant money on paypal :lol: )

Thanks guys


there is also this but i kind of dont like aquatic magic because they ship plants from their country without doing proper border paperwork and stuff.. : http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-way-Brass-CO2 ... 3570wt_952

Did you check out nikkstar on TPT? She's got splitters that don't involve bubble counters and such. Never had the need for one....yet:)

i could not find her post about the splitters, will send a msg thanks.
it seems that certain splitterrs will fit to certain regulator, yikes! and the complicated-ivity begins :|
dam, my other choice is another complete regulator with the other tank sitting inside my 75 and with a 10-15 long hose............ doable?

Damian, I need a 2-way splitter too. Please let me know what you hear from nikkstar.

I've been looking through the Clippard catalog for a manifold, but I haven't found one. I know someone has ordered them from Clippard. Will someone supply the part number please?

Thanks Francine. it seems that with that one you can not individually adjust the flow though =O so i guess i adjust a rate and it comes out to the three outlets evenly?
in this case the thing i got from Cristy would come handy =)
im not convinced just because of that = /

Cristy do you want to ask her, or should i? it interests you whats on that website... :|



i was talking about the brass one btw.

You put an inline valve on it.

Since you now have low side control, you won't blow out lines using needle valves inline.

It is the same thing I do... mine didn't cost that much though. Google around, 40 bucks for a 3 way splitter seems really expensive.

Mine is a little 6 way with plugs for the unused ports. I have an inline needle valve and bubble counter behind each tank. I think it (splitter)came from Rex, probably not a good option anymore....

This is one to shop Clippard for btw, if you can deal with wandering through the 9 bazilion page catalog. I am 99% folks showed me the parts I'd just payed twice as much to Rex for afterwards, I just didn't take the time to look for them.... remember me, lazy, heh. :mrgreen:

theshrimplab.com has a 2-way for $10. This looks like the same thing from Clippard at 5 for $10.90: http://www.clippard.com/store/display_d ... q-yu04-blk

We would need needle valves on each line.
