Be careful with the Aqualine Bushke regulator. It uses metric
threading. You will need an adaptor, hopfully Pet Warehouse will
include one with your order. I got one of these regulators for
Christmas the regulator I recieved was not the one pictured in the
catalog or even the box the it came in. You might want to look at a
welding supply store, you can buy a better quality regulator and needle
valve cheaper than what you will pay for that AB regulator. Also if you
have the room you might want to look into a 15# CO2 tank. Many
suppliers sell these for the same price you get a 5# for. The reason
being that the 15# is a much more standard size.
Hope this helps
