[GSAS-Member] CO2 Question



I've been running three DIY CO2 setups for some time, and now I'm ready to
step up to a pressurized system.  My research to date has me leaning towards
the following, but I wanted to check with the group before I make any
investments.

<http://sumoregulator.com/PremierLine.html>10 lb aluminum tank (Central
Welding?)
Sumo regulator <http://sumoregulator.com/PremierLine.html>
(2) Ideal 52-1-12 metering valves
(2) JBJ bubble counter
(2) Red Sea CO2 500 reactor
Flexible CO2 tubing (though I'm tempted to use something cheaper...)

In looking at the options, it seems like running 24/7 without a solenoid and
possibly running an airstone at night seems to be the simplest setup with
the least risk to pH (just uses up more CO2).

I would like to use this setup to run *three* tanks.  Two tanks in the
basement using the Red Sea reactors (running off of a the output of one of
the metering valves.  The third tank is on the floor directly above the
basement setup.  I would like to run the output of the second metering valve
into a venturi on the intake of a Magnum 350 (currently doing this with (2)
DIY bottles).

Any mistakes you can help avoid?  Any recommendations for a simpler setup?

Cheers,
John
