Currently I have a dual stage regulator with two manifolds, one goes to a 30 liter Dennerle NanoCube and one goes to a 54 liter tank that is 60x30x30cm.
But I'm not finished yet...
I will also be wanting CO2 in:
That's five tanks total, however they are all very small tanks compared to what most on this forum run. I also have two men in the house giving conflicting advice (and neither of them knows the slightest thing about aquariums). My son says that attaching three more manifolds to the existing regulator is the best option (so that it has five manifolds total). My husband thinks I should buy a second regulator, which would mean I'd spend near enough a thousand on all this kit.
I'm already kicking myself because I was upsold a Ultimate Pro Dual Stage regulator when I could have saved quite a load of money on a single stage, however the salesman convinced me that I was risking my livestock due to the potential of EOTD, and I listened to him and spent a hundred quid more. Have learned since that any EOTD would be minimal as I'm using SodaStream and dividing it among multiple tanks.
Edited to add my actual question: is five manifolds on one regulator too many, if they are all supplying nano tanks?
But I'm not finished yet...
I will also be wanting CO2 in:
- A second 30 liter NanoCube,
- A second 60x30x30
- And finally I want to run CO2 to a 72 liter tank that is 60x30x40.
