solenoid

ok, i have done all my research and have now figured out that I can set up a
pressurized Co2 system pretty cheap by jsut getting a dual guage reg from a
beer supply, etc... the only difference I can really see between the JBJ and
this is that the JBJ comes with the solenoid. Do I need that solenoid???
What options do I have if I dont have a solenoid... do you just run an
airline with air stone into the tank at night??? or is it just better to get
it with the solenoid...??? all comments greatly appricated - thnax, Josh

aquaticeco.com has a CO2 regulator and solenoid for a combined price
of $69. Thats a pretty good price! I just came across it a few days ago.
Part# is AZ19002

(even though the
heat probably helps dissolve the CO2 better).

Seems right at first:
But no, the colder the water, the more gas it is able to hold in
solution at equilibrium.
Colder water has more O and CO2 or any atomspheric gas everything else
being equal.

I was referring to the CO2 gas being heated as it passed through the
solenoid, I don't think it had any effect on water temperature. It's
really just a guess however.


If you plan on using a
PH controller then it's a must, otherwise you can always put your
reactor on a timer and save some money.
Hope that helps

You can use a powerhead to run the system and use a controller with
that instead of a solenoid. The gas will burp out and be wasted is
all.

Good point!

The JBJ regulator has a fixed working pressure, so there is nothing to
ajust as far as pressure. Besides a solenoid, it also has a needle
valve and a bubble counter.

The milwaukee regulator also has a solenoid, bubblecounter, and needle
valve, but its not a fixed working pressure.
