Matt, go for the H3L. if you don't need it, but keep one as extra is always good idea, you never know when you are going to setup a new tank when the multi-tanks fever rise again.
Matt F.;89218 said:Oh, man. Such a temptation, but I think I've cured my multiple tank syndrome. These days cleaning my 60P takes more energy than I have. As far as growing plants, I'm trying a bit of emersed gardening. I am very interested to see how people like these H3L vavles, though.

Matt F.;89445 said:Good to know. Do you think it's worth the price even on the secondary market? I'm all for quality and precision, but do you think the H3L valves provide us with something the Ideals and Fabcos and Swageloks don't? Is there enough of a difference to justify the cost?
I was recently talking with Tom about different CO2 diffusion methods. I think now that we have mastered regulators and the components for CO2 delivery, we should focus on other problem areas like CO2 diffusion and how to maintain constant co2 levels throughout the photoperiod.
Just planting the seed.
oldpunk;89456 said:Worth the price? Yes, totally. Does it provide something different? In the grand scheme of things, no. It's availability will pass and we will still have the same options as before. It is a pretty darn nice metering valve for $25. I'm not crazy about how the handle looks or the fact that it's the straight version but it's ridiculously easy to make fine adjustments to your flow rate. BTW, these are brand new in a sealed box. They even come withe tools you need to take apart the verier handle.

Tom Barr;89710 said:I have the burkets, they seem pretty good on several tanks.
Still, like Jerry's issue, I think many of them are leakers and folks do not catch them.
Then they burn through CO2 gas tanks as a result.
