Semi Off Topic here - Has any of you who have worked with JG fittings ever seen a 1/4 or 3/8" JG Gate Valve? Would like to use one for my effluent on my C Reactor..

I have been using one of these on my reactor effluent. They work really well even if your effluent flow is very slow.

Works very well.

Have you tried them on the CO2 also?

No, my regulator has it's own valve. I'd go with a steel or brass needle valve for CO2

I use the same type of valve, you can get them at Home Depot in th edrip irrigation section of plumbing. A lot more control over what a JG valve would give.

My GEO came with the irrigation valve but I think I'll be replacing it with the aquaticeco. Thanks Brad.

Mark if your looking for a great CO2 needle valve try the Red Sea it's been working alot better than those stainless planted tank ones and it's cheap.

Yes, I have some of them in those sizes. Water Tiger in Victoria sold them to me.
