What type of regulator do you use with your autopilot?I use the autopilot APC 8200 for my CO2 no complaints yet.
Shuts the CO2 with lights and can program the ppm you want and the deadband
It's just a Milwaukee. Single stage regulator. You don't need anything fancy or dual stage since the controller shuts the flow off at the desired ppm and you don't have to worry about end of tank dump. Hell I don't even have a flowmeter on mine just an old bubble counter that's empty. I would adjust flow to bring ppm up to levels over about 5min. Doing it slower like this allows the sensor to accurately stop the flow with less overshoot.What type of regulator do you use with your autopilot?
Thank you sirIt's just a Milwaukee. Single stage regulator.

I would only make sure you have a dual gauge regulator so you can see when the tank is close to being empty. With a single gauge you only see the output pressure. I use 15-20 lbs on output some will be preset this is fine also if you want to save money since most don't install backflow check valves for our use so there is no set pressure to overcome
The autopilot 8200 is cheaper and can set the ppm value and deadband. I had a preset ppm controller before and hated it. If anyone wants it for free I still have it. It's preset to 1500ppm.https://www.amazon.com/Titan-Controls-Dioxide-Monitor-Controller/dp/B00819A642
^That's what I use. Works great for the price. I got mine from a friend, though. So I didn't even pay this much

I already have the autopilot on the way & saw @Aqua Man had the same. About to order tank & regulator and was just being sure about the reg. Thanks for the input though.https://www.amazon.com/Titan-Controls-Dioxide-Monitor-Controller/dp/B00819A642

Yup that's the one I hate... Still have it for free if anyone wantsRight I thought someone had one of those PPM-4 units they said they were giving away.. Those are junk for sure.
I got my Atlas 2 for free otherwise I probably wouldn't have bought it.
