I have a JBL style bubble counter on the way, I can use, but I much prefer the in line bubble counters, located away from the reg & as close as possible to the source of injection with 2 redundant check valves.
Errol.
P.S.The regulator was tested overnight & still holding pressure this morning = passed  ;)

Errol,
what is a JBL style bubble counter?
65 gal tall planted

It`s just like the Milwaukee but with a Brass bottom & integrated check valve, They are numerous knock offs on e bay & our local sponsor Critter Jungle carry one of the JBL style .

Finally got all my parts.  ;D  Big thanks to charlie for his help and sourcing parts.

My first one.  I'm thinking about redoing the needle valve because it just seems off.



My second one.  This one looks better IMO because I think the regulator and gauges are bigger with a smaller needle valve.

I like the look of the brass 2stage, & the parts should be a lot cheaper and easier to come by locally.

The brass one included the CGA320 fitting surprisingly.
