Still super helpful 4 years later! thank you.

Thanks dude, this is the best put together co2 equipment video I've ever seen, hands down.

[@TheWaterBox]

Glad you liked it!

[@chrisi8397]

Loved this video bro keep it up answered all of my questions in one video about co2 split

[@TheWaterBox]

Glad I could help

[@junshimaguchi]

hi, i know this comment is so late for this video, but i just wanna ask if i can use the splitter in the 1:13 clip for my pressurized co2? thanks

[@TheWaterBox]

For pressurized, it should. But you can't control the psi going out of each outlet so you won't have control on each output and it'll give you odd results. And you have to make sure the fitting can handing the pressure you're pushing into the line.

[@arachnophilegrrl]

Your info is always SPOT ON, thank you.

[@TheWaterBox]

I appreciate that!

[@renthemouse]

I love your intro it’s amazing!

[@TheWaterBox]

I'm glad you like it

[@janjansen6941]

I do not know if you still mannage comments on this co2 splitter issue. I have tried several splitters, but none are precise adjustable, the all shit and you cant adjust the bobles. Do you have an advice for wich suplier/brand to use ? For an 4 splitter.

[@miscellaneous3334]

Thank you this is very helpful

[@coletran3451]

I’m new to Co2 and was looking for something just like this!

[@TheWaterBox]

Glad it helps!

[@jawolfe85]

I installed a splitter but my bubble counter shows that the pressure fluctuates every day, I keep having to readjust the needle valve. Any thoughts on how I could fix this?

[@chrisi8397]

PS I just subscribed will be watching a lot more Of your videos thank you

[@TheWaterBox]

Thanks!

[@susanlawler4562]

I have a CO2 generator system with the heavy tank to mix the chemicals in. I can't figure out where to attach the splitter if I am using a solenoid. Will I need to get another solenoid to go with bubble counter so I can also use a timer on 2nd tank, etc.?

[@TheWaterBox]

Is this one of those DIY mix generators that produces it's own pressure through the mixture? I wouldn't split a set up like that.

[@carterog5008]

Great information!

[@TheWaterBox]

Glad you think so! Thanks for watching!

[@not_ur_senpai866]

might be useful in the future, thanks mate

[@TheWaterBox]

No problem 👍

[@CoffeeTimeBrian11]

Thanks; right to the point and exactly what I needed to know. So, i guess a co2 generator(citric acid/baking soda) bottle may not work; I may have to purchase the more expensive presdurized co2??

[@TheWaterBox]

Glad it helped. The problem is that the pressure is inconsistent. Of course, there's nothing to say you can't try to split it between different tanks at the same time but it won't last too long and it'll be a little inconsistent, especially towards the end of the cycle mix.

[@Dom_Rick]

He is not talking about a co2 generator. He is talking about DIY co2 with yeast. The generators are pressurized and have needle valves. They do work with co2 splitters.

[@JPineda24]

​@Dom_Rick is this true can i split co2 reactor to multiple tanks?

[@shermankoo8544]

Informative video... I didn't know C02 splitters existed. Would a medium planted, 75-gallon tank benefit from two diffusers? I have a HOB filter with a sponge at the output which calms the water flow, so I've always been curious if the diffused C02 gets circulated around the tank. I have noticed the plants closer to the diffuser are slightly healthier and have always wondered if it is the C02 distribution or some other variable. Thanks.

[@TheWaterBox]

It would though I would probably just put in a wavemaker/weak pump to help circulate the water flow.

[@shermankoo8544]

@@TheWaterBox Thank you for the reply! :)

[@TheWaterBox]

np!

[@chubzaquatics257]

Great video 👍

[@TheWaterBox]

Thanks 👍

[@KevinsCaninesAndAquatics]

I have about 7 tanks I want to use c02 on. Any suggestions on where I can get a splitter/manifold for them?

[@TheWaterBox]

Ebay. Just search for co2 splitter. I'm not sure if you'll be able to split up to 7 tanks. I think the most I saw was 6 ways.

[@KevinsCaninesAndAquatics]

@@TheWaterBox Even 5 and 2 is fine since I have 5 tanks on one side of my bed and 2 on the other.

[@TheWaterBox]

@@KevinsCaninesAndAquatics Right on then. Check eBay

[@BFMC169DeadBroke]

I don’t have a regulator to automatically turn on or turn off the co2 (yet). But I was wondering does it affect the tank if it goes a couple of days without co2 and a couple of days with it on? I work a rotating 12 hour a day schedule so I can’t turn it on in the morning and off when I get home or it would be going a lot longer than my lights are set for.

[@TheWaterBox]

Is you don't have livestock in your plants, you're fine

[@BFMC169DeadBroke]

Yeah I have 3 corys and 11 Harlequin Rasboras.

[@BFMC169DeadBroke]

I guess what I’m asking are my plants gonna wither away if they don’t get the co2 daily?

[@BFMC169DeadBroke]

Or will they just slow their growth.

[@BFMC169DeadBroke]

I be been turning the co2 on an hour before the lights and off an hour before the lights go out on my days off and the days I work they just don’t get co2.

[@avanipatelo.9996]

If I have a tank with only high light plants including reds, what light would you recommend? Because the ada Aquasky is way too expensive

[@TheWaterBox]

How high is the tank and how deep (front to back)

[@avanipatelo.9996]

The Water Box its 14 inches tall, and 12 inches from front to back.

[@TheWaterBox]

Look at Finnex Planted + or Fluval 3.0.

[@avanipatelo.9996]

The Water Box that’s only 70 dollars for the 24 inch. I thought it would be like Moderate lighting for that price

[@avanipatelo.9996]

The Water Box have you used the finnex plus for high light plants

[@susanagween432]

Perfection!

[@brianklimaszewski]

CO2art or don't waste time and money and just get a GLA regulator? Trying to get as many opinions as I can before I pull the trigger

[@TheWaterBox]

What? I'm not sure what you're asking. Co2Art makes good regulators but i tend to buy cheap ones on ebay/amazon and they still work well for me. If you have to budget and get something nice, Co2Arts or GLA are great. It's nicely built and will do you well. You take your chances with cheaper stuff. You're basically rolling your dice with quality control.

[@brianklimaszewski]

@@TheWaterBox okay thanks! Yeah I was just wondering if you would recommend CO2art or if I should just get a GLA since I've never heard or seen anything bad about them, but a dual stage is more than what I would like to spend. I am not one to gamble when I can just spend more to make sure my fish are always safe.

[@TheWaterBox]

Either Co2Arts or GLA will work great. Single or Dual still doesn't prevent you from a co2 dump. It can happen though probably more of a chance with a single stage. You'll have a better control of pressure at the end stage of an empty tank with a dual stage. I would always suggest worrying more about keeping a spare filled tank around so you can swap it out before it even get to completely empty. Yeh, it "wastes" co2 but not much and worth the waste to prevent any accidents. Keeping another tank around also helps as back up cause things can happens with the other tank for whatever reason and you don't have to worry about running out.

[@brianklimaszewski]

@@TheWaterBox Thanks for the info I guess I didn't know a dual would still give you a CO2 dump, so that's good to know and watch out for if the tank gets that low.

[@TheWaterBox]

It can. It's just harder for it to happen. Gotta remember, it's equipment, things can go wrong with equipment. Even if your regulator will never dump, there's chances the solenoid would break and not shut off or the time won't work to turn off the co2... etc. You'll always have that chance. But yeh, go with dual if you want a better chance to help prevent possible dumps and stick with a known name company for better quality stuff.
