    Is all CO2 the same?

    There is only one size of thread for disposable cylinders, afaik, in the uk (and maybe the world) for COâ‚‚ which I think is 10mm x 1. I've not got a disposable reg to check it.

    No bubbles when solenoid cuts on

    I'm no expert but it sounds like you may have some grit or dirt in the solenoid. Can you blast it clear with a compressed air line? You shouldn't really open the valve on your reg all the way, just turn it enough to get 1-2 barr. The valve on the bottle only needs opening as far as to show...

    Loose Gauge Cover

    The cover is only there to stop the needle and dial getting damaged nothing else.

    4KH solution. Has anyone tried to DIY

    You can increase the accuracy of your test kit by using a bigger sample. If you use 20ml instead of the normal 5ml then you need to add 4 drops to get 1dkh instead of 1 drop. This would mean you can measure in 0.25dkh steps. You can go even further with it if you want and use a 40ml sample for...

    Brewing in a Co2 setup

    Certain champagne yeasts are the best to use as they have the highest tolerance to alcohol of them all, something like 15-16% or more and so people use it to restart stuck ferments. A general wine makers yeast would be good though and would hit 14% which would be a good lump above bakers yeast I...

    Would this kit be a good buy for the price?

    Personally I prefer 2 dial regs like this... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0432373386 You should be able to buy disposable bottles of co2 for that at around £13 tops for a 390g size from a welding suppliers. A reg with a standard thread, so you can put it on refillable bottles...

    Diffusing directly into the filter inlet

    I sent bubbles straight into my 2128 for a while but got a build up after a while. I have added a ceramic diffuser now which sit immediately underneath the intake and it seems to be working fine now.

    D-D regulator replacement - options?

    Fits on refillable bottles. The disposable bottles have a 14mm (or something like it) thread and would require an adaptor.

    D-D regulator replacement - options?

    As far as I know the ones that Lunapet (aquarianeversand) sell are exactly the same as the D&D ones. They look it if you compare to the DD one on AE anyway. So I'd have to say everything will fit. You should be able to fit your solenoid 'inline' anyway if it doesn't.

    D-D regulator replacement - options?

    I'll vouch for the Lunapet one, thats the set I have and I can't complain at all. Well actually thats a lie as the non return valve didn't work but that's what... a quids worth? I got my whole set for around £90 but that was well over a year ago now. Here's just the reg...

    D-D regulator replacement - options?

    Even if you were all it should have done was press down evenly. To crack it like you describe it would have to have been forced outward which means it didn't really fit well in the first place.

    D-D regulator replacement - options?

    Just googling I found this place... http://www.prismplastics.co.uk/spacers.htm who do a range of washers of different sizes. There is a list. Measure yours and see if they have the same size.

    dennerle disposable co2 regulator

    They are (or should be) exactly the same thing with the same thread sizes on both items. Standard CO2 thread for refillable bottles is .860 in x 1/14 in. W.. The only info I can find for disposables is from JBL that says the bottle thread is 10x1 mm. I guess they are a standard thread size like...

    Fire extinguisher setup, is this lot ok?

    Should be ok if you put it inline but I can't guarantee it'll fit a reg, you'll have to ask. Would just getting one of these be best? You may be able to win a cheap solenoid off them too here. They are quiet and cool when operating.

    Needle Valves - Before or after the solenoid?

    You can use tubing to join them bits but you don't have to. The whole lot can be screwed together if you place the solenoid after the needle valve. Here is the link to instructions for fitting. It's in German but the pics explain it well enough. http://www.lunapet.net/Anleitungen_PDF/ ...

    co2 cannister

    European and British refillable cylinders all have threads of 0.860 inches OD and 14 threads per inch. That's very near 22mm. Disposables are smaller although I don't know what size exactly.

    Which Regulator

    It looks the same as the one I got from this lot on ebay. I bought a kit though. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CO2-Complete-Syst ... dZViewItem
