GLA PRO-DS-1 Aquarium CO2 Regulator (Dual Stage) (Modular)

Without a doubt the best dual stage regulator on the market. GLA quality shines on this system, its my second kit although my previous GLA model is much older circa 2008 but still going. I could have gone cheaper but I contacted GLA and received the full story, Im so glad I went GLA. Save yourself the headache and invest in quality the first time.

The GLA co2 regulator is the nicest piece of aquarium equipment I own. All my other aquarium equipment is made like absolute crap except my Oase filter and one old Eheim. GLA products so far have been a blessing, its all so nicely made. Installation was a breeze and packaging was like an iphone. This regulator is leaps and bounds my co2art regulator is, that thing is like paper clip in comparison. I found this Youtube channel very helpful, not sure why they dont post this on the website but here it is.https://www.youtube.com/user/aquazilla/videos

My second one, I trust this pruduct.

On recommendation from my local fish store I ordered this dual stage co2 regulator in December. Its been flawless since installation. Like others have mentioned this thing is no toy. Because thats what my co2art regulator feels like. This thing dwarfs my previous regulator by double easily. The manifold assembly is much nicer and does not feel like its made from recycled beer cans. This thing is beefy in so many ways. Operation is smooth and silky. I wasted my money on the last regulator because I went with biased reviews from people who were given them for free, to bad they did not give me one for free! I would gladly pay good money for a US company to take care of my tanks. Now if only I can convince GLA to give me one for fee:) I kid I kid! Love my GLA equipment through and through.

So refreshing. Easy to setup and the feel of the quality can be felt immediately. I will definitely be adding manifold blocks to my kit. A+ co2 regulator.

Fantastic build quality,easy installation and buttery smooth. This dual stage co2 regulator has been terrific and a great investment. Shipping and packing was superb.

Originally I had owned a co2art regulator for 5 months, actually 4 months because the first month was troubleshooting with them which was a disaster because they are overseas. I could not wait for them to help me so I ordered the GLA DS-1. Holy shit is this thing a night and day difference in build quality. Had I known any better I would not have bought that co2art regulator. This GLA regulator is built 100x better in every aspect of the build. First of all, its a real dual stage. I had no idea what a true dual stage looked like until I received this. That shitbox of a toy I had previously was exactly that, a toy wrapped in pretty packaging. The GLA regulator needle valve is so much nicer and Im not even sure how to describe that. For starters I recently learned that GLA is the original designer of the modular manifold. GLA is the pioneer in this design and you cant take that from them. Everything else is just a replica. The manifold blocks on this build are much more detailed and refined. Whereas my co2art regulator was like the stuff you see for $3.00 replacement parts. I mean, how good do you think a $3 needle valve is going to work or last lol. This needle valve feels like its a solid functioning piece that will outlast my lifetime on this planet and that goes for the entire build. It no wonder George Farmer and most the top professionals use GLA. It might cost more, but holy shit do yo use why the second you take it out of the box. GLA has my business for life.

I had promised my significant other I would not buy another co2 system but alas here I am. I purchased a co2art regulator last year and boy was that a mistake. I absolutley did not want to buy another one but the old one failed in ways I can not explain. This GLA model that was recommended by my local fish store is a little more investment, but boy do you see it rite off the bat when you take it out of the box. GLA is the real deal but my wife is still pissed at me. It was well worth the trouble lol.

George Farmer has been recommending GLA co2 systems to everybody so I gave it a go. Super impressed with the quality,packaging and service. After seeing George Farmer's Aquarium studio, it was all I needed to see. Thanks GLA

This is my second GLA co2 regulator. I ordered the standard DS series for an aquarium in my basement. The DS-1 series is going on my tank rack that I plan to have several tanks on. All I can say is the solenoid is of a quality you will not find anywhere else. Its clearly made of very high quality materials. Love the ability to be able to expand to more tanks with ease in the future. So happy to finally own the original manifold regulator.

I ordered this in December and what Im about to tell you is absolute fact. This is the best co2 regulator you can possibly buy. The modular solenoid valve is made to last you forever. The needle valve, well, its incredibly smooth and a breeze to adjust your bubble rate. The build quality is unmatched to any other brand on the market. My old co2art regulator sits in a box as a dead paper weight. Same goes for my Milwaukee rig as well. This GLA co2 regulator is clearly made of the best materials and craftsmanship. I should know because I took the whole thing apart. As a machinist I can confirm this is made with absolute precision using some really high quality machines. I purchased this after speaking with GLA for a few days because I was ranting my frustrations with my older units and sup par service. GLA service was fast and on point with what I was looking for. If your looking for a co2 regulator that will truly last you a lifetime need look no further, this is the one. Oh, the LED option on this is amazing! It lights up all 4 sides of the valve body and totally lights up my whole cabinet space in beautiful sunset orange color. Amazing build quality by GLA, they are the very best and designing and building co2 systems in America.

Don't waste your time on cheap imitations. I've quickly gone through several regulators in the past few years. Excellent packaging and quick shipping. Fantastic product.
