Heads up for all those working on DIY calcium reactors etc...

You will also need an adapter to fit it to a low pressure co2 tank like those commonly used for reactors. I believe that PA sells them too. Or just get the high pressure tank for welding gas.

??? I'm confused...
See now with planted tanks we'd take a regulator like this, to step down to a reasonable presure... Then add a needlevalve on the output to step down to bubbles/second flow. As far as I understand there should only be one type/pressure of CO2 tanks... Andy

The high pressure tanks have a cone type seat that uses no gasket to seal it. The low pressure tanks have a flat seat with a gasket to seal.
