Fantastic Quality and Reliability
Received item very quick and it was in perfect condition. I’ve been using it for a week now and it has been super easy to use. Just screw on your paintball bottle and plug into a timer and it will work exactly as advertised. I would recommend using AquaTek’s CO2 tubing and a quality diffuser. I have a Tippman 24oz paintball bottle that fits well onto the regulator. Couldn’t be more pleased with the purchase!

Can’t adjust the valve precisely!!
Thought this product was a great find until I realized it was impossible to adjust the valve to the speed of bubbles I wanted. The slightest adjustment of the valve resulted in huge swings. I gave it a chance trying to fine tune it and reached out to support for advice. Still no way to consistently get 1-2 bubbles per second. By the time I realized it was not the product for me, the 90 day warranty had expired. Do not recommend for your fish tank.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Awesome!!! Won’t set up a CO2 system without it...
Started a planted/shrimp tank and wanted to do the CO2, however I work a lot so I needed something I can put on a timer, this is perfect!!! Fits my paintball tanks perfectly, no leaks!!! I sleep about 5 feet from the tank itself so I would be dead if it leaked lol just saying. Great craftsmanship really sturdy and keeps the flow precise!!! Haven’t had to adjust it at all. Note it takes a while to start up at first and will take some time to stop when it’s off due to the length of the line you have. Just an FYI, I though mine wasn’t working due to this but after researching found this info out. I will be purchasing a second one for another tank I’m building. Worth every penny. Fits directly on the paintball CO2 tank no adapter needed. The gauges work as well. I love this little regulator and as stated would not set up a CO2 system without it. Thank you Aquatek!!!! Amor y Paz...Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

You know it!
Highly recommend if your into running co2 for your home aquarium but! I will say given there constant deals id look into there other systems on there page b4 purchase bc though I love my mini I wish I waited bc literally the next day they sold there high end solenoid for like 12 bux more than what I paid for the mini but hey ya know I love my mini its smaller canister size makes it an easy stowe away and can be way easier to set up with out needing to sit and think every part through. Simply twist and your ready for action. Plus theres adapters for upgrading unlike cough cough other systems that I wont speak of... lol. Thanx aquatek you guys really make things durable and sustainable I trust your products more than any other out there! Keep it up! ☆☆☆☆☆Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Quality Regulator, Finicky Valve
This is a quality regulator, the gauges and solenoid work flawlessly, in addition to there being no leaks. My one complaint is the needle valve, it really doesn't seem well suited for aquarium co2 use. The amount of travel between no co2 and a reasonable amount of bubbles per minute is extremely small. Once the dial is turned just a fraction of the way, co2 rushes out like a geyser, which isn't suitable for any aquarium... let alone a nano setup like this regulator is intended for. That being said, it isn't impossible to get the right amount of bubbles, just merely an annoyance and a risk to gas fish. I recommend using a splitter with this regulator to make the process of controlling flow more precise.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Decent regulator!
I've only had this running for 3 days, but it's a really good option if you want a compact CO2 system on a budget, but are not interested in going the DIY route. No adapter needed, which is nice. I had this up and running in about 5 minutes with a 24oz paintball tank. I did not use the included diffuse or bubble counter (opted to purchase Aquatek's brass bubble counter and I had a different diffuser), so I cannot comment on the ones included, but so far I'm happy with the regulator. Only negative I have so far is that the needle valve is a little tricky to dial in a consistent bubble rate. I had mine adjusted and running fine all day, but the following morning after the solenoid kicked back on, the rate was about half of where I had set it the day before.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

compact and quality in one easy to use product.
I work with industrial controls on a manufacturing floor every day. I have worked with many regulators and small flow valves this is one of the best for the money. I am very happy with how this one works. I set the flow rate, plugged it into a timer, and let do its thing.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Really good product, good value, minor improvement needed?
High quality product and a great price for what you get. The quality of the product is noticeable when you hold it in your hand - it does not feel cheap. The only issue I've had is the precision of the needle valve/knob when you fine tune the CO2 flow. It was difficult for me, for example, to get one bubble per second. The flow seems to jump, or step, a bit when I tried to make very minute changes. The flow rate would be either too fast, or too slow. Over the course of a few days, I did get a good consistent rate that works for my situation. Overall, I'd recommend this product because of the great value.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Excellent product!
I set up my very first CO2 system on my 20 gallon tall heavily planted aquarium, and this product was recommended to me through another aquarist on Instagram. I am so glad that I went with this product! It is very high quality, and the solenoid allows me to use the system on a timer which is AWESOME! I used this product with the 3-in-1 bubble diffuser, which emits very fine bubbles - perfect for absorption by my plants. I already had CO2 tubing from a friend, but I'll be buying the CO2 tubing through Aquatek when I need more as it is very competitively priced. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this product, especially for those new to CO2 systems like I was.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great product, easy to use, good value
This is a great, relatively inexpensive, alternative to doing DIY CO2. Makes life so much more stress free not having to think about and keep up with stinky fermenting yeast bottles. The Paintball CO2 bottle are under $20 and last weeks/months longer than the DIY bottles and refills are under $5. Can't beat this set up for small planted aquariums. Would definitely buy again.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
