CO2 Manifold

Post by Nikhilsk99 »

I have a 5 LB CO2 with a regulator being used for one 30 gallon tank.
I plan to add one more tank 10 gallon tank, which manifold would you recommend so I could the same CO2 & regulator.

Also if i need more CO2 in one of my tank comparied to other, can it be controlled ?

Sorry I don't have a recommendation for a manifold but an inline Micro-Fine™ Needle Valve with 1/8 NPT Ports is what you want to solve your other problem. http://store.fabco-air.com/proddetail.php?prod=NV-55-18

I have two tanks running off of one CO2 tank. I use Aquariumplants.com set up and I have an electronic bubble counter for each tank. I further control with a ph monitor/controll for each tank. You can go to my 37g journal to see pictures of the the mechanics of my system.

I checked on Aquariumplants.com, couldnt find it. Can you post me the link of the product which you are using.
I also checked on http://greenleafaquariums.com/co2-manif ... tters.html but "GLA CO2 Manifold - Dual" for $70 looks expensive.

Go to this post to see a picture of my set up (http://www.gwapa.org/forum/viewtopic.ph ... =50#p43312). Double click on the image so that you can see the whole thing.

You may have to call them directly to figure out what to order. I had ordered a setup for just one aquarium, then they were nice enough to trade it in and let me upgrade to a set up that would handle two aquariums.
