Cheers mate. So is the Burket brand of solenoid the best? I found an aquamedic one via the "Cheap pressurised CO2 system DIY guide" thread on here. Is that one any good?

I've only just begun thinking about a disposable bottle set up to be honest. Only got into this tropical fish lark May of this year!!! I don't like the idea of using a FE, the idea of the handle always being depressed concerns me, plus they take up too much room. So the 600g disposable bottle...

Cheers mate. I'm still researching the whole CO2 thing so will let you know asap if i'm gonna go for that solenoid. I really appreciate all your help.

£36 won't break the bank. If you could check this would be ok for my set up that would be cool.

Real quick question....do you use the burket 6011? If so, what comp did you get it from? Been looking online but most places seem to not list a price for it!

You're a top bloke Wazuck. I'll get doing some more research (inbetween supposedly working) and will no boubt come back to you with some questions if i get stuck. Cheers bud :thumbup:

Really appreciate the help Wazuck. So really all i need is....diaposable reg, solenoid valve, metering valve, 1/8 to 6mm compression fitting and I then basically have a reg/solenoid combo suitable for a disposable co2 bottle? Do you need any fittings when connecting up a solenoid valve?

Forgive my ignorance....what's the difference between BSPT and NPT?

Wazuck, the Parkers metering valve you mentioned, is it easy to attach 6mm tubing to it? Also, do they come in the standard 1/8" BSPT size to conact it directly to a disposable tank reg?

Thanks for the reply Antoni. Real sham they've ceased trading. Their reviews seemed excellent.

Think im gonna stick to a disposable regulator. Are the solenoid and needle valve parts the same for disposable as well as DIN477 regs? Think about 1/8" BST?

Thanks Wazuck. Does this all still apply if im setting up a disposable bottle setup rather than FE? Geeting a 600g co2 bottle from my local building merchants and then build a reg/solenoid to fit.

Morning all, does anyone have any idea what's happened to Lunapet? Their ebay trading account seems to have closed and I can't find any online trading website for them at all!!! I've been researching regulators and have realised it's pretty straight forward (and cheap) to build your own so...

Thanks for the replies everyone. I think i've made up my mind and going to go for the Up Aqua A-165. Seems like a good reg/sol, with the added benefit of being able to change the working pressure. Thanks again :D :thumbup:

Yeah, I've seen that one too. Anyone own it? Is it any good? I'm kinda moving towards getting a reg/sol in which you can alter the working pressure. Seems in the long run this might be a better option than choosing one with set pressure. Anyone confirm the benefit of being able to change...

Thanks for the replies. Anyone have any experience of the Up Aqua A-165? Also, what is the benefit of being able to adjust the working pressure over a reg with set working pressure?

Thanks Steve. Once you have set the needle valve does it stay set or do you have to keep on adjusting it to get the desired bubble count? Cheers Wazuck, I like the idea of building my own. But gonna stick to a ready constructed for the time being. Im just starting out so will learn as i go.

Thanks for the reply mate. Really appreciated. The links to the lunapet website and their ebay site don't work!! Do you (or anyone else) rate the Up Aqua A-165 or the TMC V Pro? These are the 2 i'm considering. If there are any others I ought to consider, please advise. Thanks :D

Evening all, hope you're all good? I'm new to the hobby and very new to CO2 injection so go easy on me :) Right, im looking into getting my first regulator/solenoid to hook up to a DIN477 fitting. I've done plenty of research, but have a question..... You guys all recommend "Lunapet"....but...
