Simple answer : Yes It is possible to adjust CO2 output by by adjusting
the output pressure on a regulator. Though it will be difficult (or
impossible) to make fine adjustments. You would be better off getting a
needle valve. Check at a welding supply company you should be able to
get one cheap @ $20. As far as using a powerhead to diffuse the CO2,
that is what I used, it works fine.
