Splitting CO2

I've tried it before, the best way I found was this way:

CO2 bottle --> Regulator --> Solenoid --> T --> 2 needle valves --> 2 bubble counters

That is if the lights on both tanks have the same schedule.

If not, I would proceed this way:

CO2 bottle --> Regulator --> T --> 2 solenoids --> 2 needle valves --> 2 bubble counters

Hope this helps.

 

Here's some pictures of fordtrannyman's regulators that feed multiple tanks. These are similar to argnom's first example except they are feeding more than two aquariums.

 

TheKillHaa Maybe On To Something, Worth A Try, Me Thinks

Hi Scott,

I have never tried it but this seems a novel, not to mention cheap solution.

I guess I am curious about control, but at a US$ or two it seems worth a try.

I had the same problem as you. One was working or the other. Now I'm using two separate systems. Double bottles last twice as long. They never get empty at the same time.
