What's the best Co2 regulator

[woodworker1959]

I'm looking to replace my Co2 regulator what is the best quality regulator and where can you get it ?

I've had 2 Milwaukee regulators solenoids go out on me before trying the Reef Fanatic brand which some people had been saying good things about (definitely more expensive than one regulator, but definitely not two, lol...). In my opinion, the Reef Fanatic is a superior product.

The adjustment valve on the Reef Fanatic allows a much easier precision adjustment (much smoother) and the LED light showing when it is on is a great feature. One of the possible weak links on the Milwaukee is the bubble counter built in to the regulator, which could allow liquids to leak in, or on it while filling. One other benefit to the Reef Fanatic regulator is that the working pressure is preset, which means no adjustment there, or damaging a guage if you've cranked something wide open instead of shut.

That being said, there are quite a few people that have not had trouble with the Milwaukee.

www.phishybusiness.com and www.premiumaquatics.com carries both of them.

After purchasing a regulat. I read several posts that state what Clutch posted. He's not the only one that has stated that the aqplants has the best regulator going.

I have a JBJ on one reactor and a Milwaukee on another. Both work fine and are trouble free.

Any other opinions? I'd like to see more feedback on this subject......

Phishlet the JBJ reactor is their any way to reduce the pressure on the outlet of the regulator. My regulator says that it's factory set and the pressure is about 20# I would like to have it about 10#. Is your regulator adjustiable.

My Milwaukee has been flawless for almost 3 years now.

I've using the Gen-X reg for two years works flawlessly. Easy to adjust needle valve, well built, chromed out, and the price is right.
