If I may give advice as a newbie I would say research as much as you can before you buy something. I have replaced everything from my original setup (substrate, lights, filter, CO2 injection, power head) from buying things quickly without researching. Now that I am at good steady CO2 levels, good circulation, and 2wpg of light with EI dosing, I have very few problems and just focus on how my plants look. The people who post in the "Duel stage regulator thread" are incredibly helpful and friendly. When I start my next tank, the first thing I will do is build another quality CO2 delivery system before anything else.

And here is my first dual stage build from just this week.

We can't tell if you have the Burkert solenoid on this one mounted in the correct direction.barbarossa4122;59988 said:
Many thanks to a TPT member who did this for me.

Switch that solenoid around. You have it in the wrong direction, which could cause leaks.

The solenoid is marked with a "P" and an "A" on one of its sides. The NPT port closest to the "P" mark is the solenoid's input from the regulator. And the NPT port closest to the "N" mark is the solenoid's output where the needle valve assembly attaches.
