I come back to this video twice a year when I get a new tank. Thank you for making this and keeping it online.
“And I’m gonna put my glasses on, so you guys understand.” That made it much clearer for me.
Straight to the point on "how to setup a C02 regulator" without any rambling to increase the length of the video for TH-cam's suggested 15 minute video minimum.
As a co2 regulator, I have to admit that this guy is talking great.
WOW! I love how you explained it soo simple unlike others when they get too technical... Very informative! Thank you soo much!
Nice vid. I truly missed Jack Wattley when he was in New Jersey. I’m from NYC and two things I regret was not visiting Jack Wattley and Dr. Axelrod when he lived in NYC. CO2 dosing is just one nutrient of many needed to have a successful aquatic plant in your aquarium. I make my own fertilizer by mixing Mexican Red Clay and crushed Egg Shells into quarter sized wafers, which I bury every. 4 months into the substrate. I also add all three liquid ingredients that Aquarium Coop make into my water changes at different times. My plants
Hey Jack, you're a bloody good tutor! Thanks for the tutorial, mate!
Man that was an awesome presentation. About to buy a, or multiple regulators for my 450g sodastream bottles. I get them refilled at my local pub (bar) for free most times, or .80c when the new guys are on. Sincerest thanks brother. Much appreciated
Very good, detailed and straight foward explanation. I'm Marco from Brazil and haven't found a single decent video in portuguese related to CO2 installation. Keep it up buddy. Hugs.
Good video Gabe. I've watched a lot of co2 setup videos and you hit some important points that no one else covers.
Hella helpful and the glycerine oil tip is superb
Another great video Gabe! Very helpful and you make it nice and easy to understand how it all works!!
Excellent overview/tutorial! Thanks Gabe.
Wow explain very well. Thanks
Very Very good explanation. I am going to order a Milwaukee regulator
Keep it up Gabe. Love the straight to the point videos.
I remember reading tropical fish hobbyist (dating myself) and thinking i could never have a JWD.
Now i think it might be the time.
Ryan
Thanks
@@JackWattleyDiscus Hello Jack, please I would like to get in touch with you as I believe you could help my company. can you send me a mail at matt@eligmat.com or tell me how to get in touch with you? Thanks

Hi Gabe. A video concerning your experience on co2 sensitivity of dicus would be greatly appreciated. There is a lot of contradicting advice and opnions on forums on this. Thanks for some great videos.
Perfecto! Thanks for the lesson! I got 1.5 bps on my 29 gallon. My pH checker went from dark navy to greenish blue. Yup, the water here is 8.2-8.4. I'm not sure I should let the pH change too much.
Thank you so MUCH. You are the best. I hope that Milwaukee learn from you.
Great tutorial 👍🏼 straight to the point and very clear
I get into it only after you put on glasses =) Thx
You rock sir ...you make things look really easy ...thank you
tu canal es el mwjor aprendo mucho pero no soy muy bueno con el ingles la verdad no se si podria haber posibilidades que pusieran subtitulos a los videos se los agradeceria muchisimo, tu canal es el mejor gracias por compartir tus conocimientos
Really good show
Thank you for this it was very helpful
Super Helpful Video. Thank you
1 or 2 bubble per sec that what im used to.
When im reading people on aquarium group they now say that you need a kit to mesure the gh, kh and co2. To make sure to know how much you need.
Great info very good video. How come I have not fond you before? I don't know but glad I did. New sub.
Enjoy. Didn't have much time to do these videos. But now I am finding the time.
@@JackWattleyDiscus cool I just do showcase videos I don't talk or anything like you do. I keep African cichlids. It's good to find a video where the persecution is so understandable. Thanks man.
Really helpful tntx
Nice set up video
Great video thanks…1 question i have is do you personally use inline reactor with this unit or a ceramic diffuser??? Im told you cant use a diffuser with this unit but am unsure if im hearing correctly… whats your experience??
All my reactors are inline. I find the loss of displaced CO2 is less. Also less stressful on the regulator.
Thanks Gabe
Great video thxs. Those this regulator comes with different attachments for different co2 canister like paintball size co2 tank? Or is there a nano version on thos brand? I'm new to hobby.
Question though, will the mineral oil ever back fire into the solenoid and harm it?!?! I am new to co2 but fyi, I used this exact video and exact regulator to install on my first co2 setup to a semi-planted very well established aquarium.
nice detailed tutorial thank you!
Great video! Do you just use regular 1/4" RODI tubing from the regulator to for instance a calcium reactor (saltwater reefing purposes)?
Silicone airline tubbing.
@@JackWattleyDiscus Thank you!
Wish this video was around 15 years ago.
I have it set up and working; but the day after, the working pressure drops to zero and no CO2 is coming out. What do you think is happening?
thank you!
Hi Jack, thank you for the tutorial. I have a 30G tank with only grass seeds for carpeting. Do I need to have this CO2 equipment, or can I substitute that with the API plant fertilizer? Sorry, this is my first tank with live grass, etc. so I am a bit nervous. Thanks for your replies!
CO2 is the secret to success with planted aquariums
Oil also leaks into the solenoid and stops it from working
Good video. :)
Thanks
Do you need a check valve to prevent back flow of water when the system is not working?
Any regulator brands you recommend? So many on the market in all price ranges
For the price. Milwaukee isn't bad.
in your honest opinion how many CO2 regulators you go thru a year? I want a buy a regulator that doesn't brake
I've run this regulator for 2 years now and mostly love it, although it's the only one I've ever owned. Nice demo how to set up.
One thing to add, one thing to ask:
- Check with your diffuser manufacturer before using oil in the counter. I have the CO2 Art Bazooka diffuser and they explicitly state not to use oil. The diffuser makes a beautiful mist of bubbles and I can see how oil forced into the stone would be a bad thing.
- 5:40 those washers do indeed take flight and mine did some time ago. What's a suitable replacement? Currently I'm using teflon pipe dope but that's sloppy to work with.
Thanks!
Can this regulator be used with a glass/steel CO2 diffuser?
You have not used Teflon tape.Will it not leak?
Brass is self seating very ductile material Teflon tape will expands threads because metal is so soft therefore making leaks actually more likely to happen hope that helps
What would cause a very slow minor leak of the mineral oil out of the bottom of the bubbler after the initial setup?
Cracks in the plastic bottle
@@JackWattleyDiscus Are these replaceable on the MA957? If so, are they easy to replace?
So, to clarify, are all valves supposed to be open (you take off the knob on your unit which is impossible on mine) when you first open the gas cylinder valve?
Then I have to assume it's not a Milwaukee CO2 regulator correct?
Fish keeping shouldnt be this complicated! :)
It isnt, i have an fzone single stage reg, non of this fuss, no dumps, no bother. Just connect to a refilled co2 fire extinguisher, lastz me 6 months
Pls make a video for chlorine problem and it's solution
The reason I had to have my C02 refilled after less than a month is because I didn't watch this video (I hand tightened my regulator and didn't check for leaks).
You don't need to completely remove the regulator valve...just turn counterclockwise until you feel no resistance.
Playing it safe for those who do not the difference. Better safe than sorry.
el selenoide se puede conectar a 220 0 110 voltios?
why the water goes back in the tubing even through my check valve when the timer is off? what do i do?
You may need a new check valve
why is milwaukee putting warnings in these now that they CANNOT be used with diffusers or under any pressure?
I'm assuming that the huge pressure required to run some of the atomizers destroys the units. Warning labels!
Hi,
Does co2 effects ph level n discus tanks.
CO2 is an acid absolutely
You gonna put your glasses on so that you can see. :P
What do we do if our regulator is pre adjusted for pressure?
You've answered your own question. There's nothing you can do.
How many litre is that co2 tank?
The one in the video is a 5 pound tank.
why not using olive oil :)
Hello, is it possible to get in touch with you?
Look this up on amazon, this exact regular has the worst reviews I’ve seen on ANY fish related thing on amazon
Compared to what. I have some of these running perfectly for over 15 years and use them regularly at my hatchery displays
Jack Wattley Discus I don’t doubt that, I found this video by looking up regulators. Saw the one you were using and looked it up on amazon. Compared to any other regulator on amazing this things reviews are the worst. I don’t doubt that you have some that still work I’m sure other people do also. But that doesn’t negate the fact that the reviews on amazon are terrible and me knowing that information I’m not going to keep it to myself especially on a video for said product. The reviews don’t reflect badly on your knowledge, fish keeping skills or video making. It’s not your fault this has bad reviews but facts are the facts. Look it up on amazon and see for yourself
@@curtismurphy7792
Iv only used this set up and have had 3 of them in 16 years, what problems do people have with them???
The oil looks not good choice
Then use water and keep putting in water every week until you get tired of it. Then come to the realization that the oil is a better decision. You can bring a horse to water but you cannot make him drink it until he realizes he is thirsty.
how do you know if the diaphragm is ruined. Unfortunately i watched this video too late.
When you turn the tank on the regulator will start to leak through the safety valve.
Very noisy
The solenoids are garbage
You should not remove that knob...the directions are explicit. All you should do is turn it counterclockwise until you feel no tension.
Same difference.
