myfishybuisness Posted December 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 seriously? do these have this problem alot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 I have read somewhere that the solenoid and needle valve isn't that good quality. I can't quite remember where I saw it though, might have been here or an overseas forum. Maybe get a Tunze or something, they're good quality and pretty cheap too. I have one sitting in the closet that I'm waiting to use and it cost me $180.00 plus $8 shipping which was a really good buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myfishybuisness Posted December 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 does your tunze have a solnoid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 You can control the flow OK with a needle valve and bubble counter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 No the Tunze doesn't have a solenoid, so I'll need to buy one. I wouldn't ever use pressurized CO2 without a solenoid because it wastes a lot if you leave it on during the night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myfishybuisness Posted December 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 mine has bubble counter and needle value which is what is speeding up i think, might just be a good idea to get a co2 controller then it wount matter if it speeds up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redracer77 Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Why don't you just replace the needle valve, they are cheap off ebay or go to a hydraulics company Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
