Top of the line
Decided to spring for the industries best and I’m glad I did. Setting up my first CO2 system ever for a 40g planted tank. David and the team at GLA provided top notch service including customizing the color of my CO2 tubing and mailing a missing price of the order at no charge (I was fully transparent that I couldn’t find the part and was not sure if I accidentally discarded it or it wasn’t included in the shipment. They took care of it without any issue). I’m fully confident that this setup will last for a lifetime! Many thanks to the team at GLA

Thank you GLA!
I will try to make this short but sweet because GLA customer service was exceptionally patient and nice to us. We needed a system in a hurry because we recently setup our 2023 IALPC aquascape and was reading for photos when we noticed our drop checker was not moving beyond blue, it was before and all the sudden it was not. We contacted the company we ordered from but there was a delay because we did not realize they were international(not US based). Once communication was underway they sent a replacement and all was good, so we thought. $ days later we started to experience the same issues with the co2art regulator. This time however the solenoid was not receiving power no matter what we did. After much frustration we gave up and put the regulator to bed with all of our other aquarium garbage. Fast forward to now because we were about to call it quits. My husband has spent tens of thousands on this aquascape at 180cm and time was running out. When the GLA system arrived we knew right away, this was quality. The GLA system is not even remotely the same category of co2 system. The best way I can describe this is better said by my husband. In his words, Co2art is a blatant knock off of GLA's superior product. Whats more strange is we dont know why so many told us to go check out Co2art, its been absolute garbage and in our opinion a waste of global resources. After drooling over the GLA system its been up and running everyday without a hiccup. My husband even polishes the GLA system under our tank(full Infinite filter,reactor and DS system). Its his pride and joy and we are honored to support GLA, the original US based company who invented everything you see. Dont be misguided like we were, go with GLA you will not regret it.

Aquarium Co2 System
Loving our GLA co2 system. I was referred to from Planted Tank Forum.https://www.plantedtank.net/forums/ I was clearly frustrated with my Co2art co2 regulator and the people the pointed me here. Now this is only my second co2 system, and I would not consider Co2art a co2 system. Especially after having the GLA to see first hand. GLA is so much better quality all around. You can clearly see the build structure alone with GLA is much nicer than co2arts. I now have trouble free co2 in my house. Folks, buy once and go with GLA, because all the stuff they have is nice!

This is the best co2 system for aquariums.
I have an electronic carbon doser and its an absolute shitbox. I then purchased the Co2Art regulator, yet another shitbox. I now have several shitbox regulators that hold no candle to GLA. When I got the GLA I just knew the fight was over. Whatever GLA has built in this regulator its doing it right! Ultra butter smooth flow control va absolute madness. With the Co2Art every time the temp changed in the room the bubble rate would change, WTF! This GLA regulator is wayyyy bigger and is 100% a more substantial build. Don't settle for a shitbox, buy GLA!

This is the best co2 system available.
This is not my first but I have a feeling it will be my last. I have a collection of co2 systems since being in the aquarium hobby from the Dupla days. I also have many of GLA competing brands in my house so this review is well merited. My experience with GLA was like no other, from customer service to delivery, which was processed exceptional fast. Arrival of the package I could tell I was in for a treat because GLA packaging was very nice, its was pretty. GLA tape was even nice! Opening the regulator I could tell right away what I was working with. GLA regulators dwarf all their competitors in terms of actual size. GLA seemingly has a legit non-toy like regulator. Extremely well made and the design is flawless. As a veteran in co2 I was set up in minutes, and let me tell you. The system is butter smooth, none of the Amazon or Ebay specials compare because I have those, and you know who Im talking about. Kudos to GLA for staying true to what aquscapers are looking for. Stay innovative GLA we love you guys!

GLA is the super co2 system.
I love this regulator, no gimmicks and very solid. Much larger than my crappy one and so much better performance. This system was a good buy and has been solid since day one. I do nothing to it, only clean it to keep is shiny and new. I like the US representation with many US made products that come along with the system. Everything arrived packaged very professionally, nothing like amazon. Purchasing from GLA was an absolute pleasure, great company with fantastic support.

Go with GLA co2 systems.
It only took me one mistake to know I should have gone with GLA from the start. The support system and experience left me refreshed after my previous with a GLA competitor. I dont know much about co2 systems but there is one thing I noticed about this co2 system compared to my other one. It has a level of finesse that just oozes quality. My bubble control was leaps and bounds in easy control. I may not know co2 systems very well but I can tell you GLA co2 systems are worth every penny. You simply will not get the same quality and service with anybody else. Just like GLA told me, stick with the pioneers of this system and you will be left extremely happy.

GLA is the best of the best in co2 systems.
Just retired my Amazon co2 regulator for this epic GLA system and boy, what a difference. This regulator is built much more substantially than my 2 previous co2 regulators. Its literally 3x the size and feels like a real piece of equipment. My Fzone regulator felt like a paperclip and would not hold a steady bubble rate without daily human interference, I hated it since day one. After installing GLA co2 system I knew right away, it was a blessing. Its been handsfree ever since, we love it!

Top shelf co2 system from GLA.
Very satisfied with GLA and GLA products in general. New house required all new hardware and must be of best quality and its presence must be appealing. GLA co2 system checked all these marks and is worthy of a 5 star review. I have a long history with co2 system and this space required the best and this is it. Much higher quality regulator body and valve system. Cleaner less bulky design. The solenoid, very very nice. They incorporated a clear housing using a liquid tight chord grip. IP67 all the way. Stainless steel gauges and high quality cylinder with present dating good for 5 years. The tubing we received per our spec in grey color was a nice touch to the installation. Our opening is next month and the space looks terrific. We added the GLA stainless filter and co2 reactor and it is the best. Go to GLA, they are the real pioneers of this new generation of manifold co2 system.

One bad ass co2 system.
What can I say, its GLA. This kit is super nice. Very well made all around. Lots of American ingenuity from GLA. Fantastic warranty but I doubt I will need it. This thing just pumps out co2 with ease and without any intervention on my part at anytime until time to refill. Over the years I have used many co2 systems. This year is my second GLA system because I loved the warranty and my old 2008 system from GLA. These guys just know what they are doing. They invented this concept of modular co2 systems so aint nobody better at knowing them inside and out like GLA. Because all the others are just riding GLA's coat tails.

Big upgrade from my co2art regulator.
I just upgraded the tank and filter and at the time was already having issues with my co2art regulator. I was debating sending it back to Europe for repair but the cost was astronomical. After talking with friends at our local fish/plant club I was referred to GLA. I dont know why but this GLA regulator is so much larger than the co2art regulator in all directions. Makes it feel like your using something of substance, vs the more toy like feeling with co2art. It felt like it came out of a vending machine and that would explain its cheap cost and functional issues. This GLA regulator handles everything so much better. I dont mess with it at all but Im always looking at it to make sure its not spazzing out. If your looking to upgrade look no further.

The best of the best.
The best co2 regulator Ive ever used. Easy to install, silky smooth operation and rock steady.

Premium quality co2 system.
We spent a few weeks looking over options and in the end went with GLA. After contacting customer support discussing our requirements we landed here. This is a very well put together system. Granted it does not come with a diffuser, its for good obvious reasons. Everything in the box was very well packed, like when you mom packed your lunch box. Everything was just neatly nested. It took us only a few minutes to install and had co2 in the plant beds in no time. Its been working superb for going on 9 weeks now. I keep is clean with a microfiber cloth with some plant based stainless steel cleaner. It helps keep the dust off and keeps nice and shiny new looking. Its the nicest piece of aquarium equipment we own and our tank is 180g. Thanks GLA!

Outstanding build quality.
Really enjoying GLA's dual stage co2 system. I would rate it more stars if they had them available. Since replacing my old regulator things are much more stable and I no longer need to utilize a pH controller. I not use a simple Bluetooth timer to automate my co2. I can even control if from my phone in terms of turning it off or on if required. Ive been aquascaping for many years and used several co2 systems in the past. This GLA kit really stands out in many ways. The regulator is packaged like an egg. Setting up was a few minutes of bliss. I did start with a fresh new diffuser this time going with GLA's new stainless steel co2 reactor. I wish I could post pictures of GLA's co2 system and reactor in my cabinet. Its a sight of beauty. Your going to love your GLA system. You can tell they enjoy building them.

Always buy GLA co2 systems.
Invest wisely with GLA. Superior builds,better customer service and a staff that knows aquacspaing and co2 better than anybody. I find GLA co2 systems to be much better in durability and general performance. This is my second system from GLA and could not be more happy.

Top shelf co2 system.
Everybody who recommended this system to me was right, its super nice. GLA is top tier of co2 systems no doubt about it. If your not sure just do what I did, email them and ask. Then when it arrives to your door you will instantly know. These aint toys! GLA is A++

GLA co2 systems are the best of the best.
3rd Gen owner here. I can attest to GLA quality co2 regulators. I have several systems in my space going on 13 years old. Recently I ordered this system and I was very excited to receive it. I was delivered promptly and everything was packed ever so neatly. You can tell GLA cares about every step. This system was very easy to install and everything is just buttery smooth in operation. I like to use mineral oil in my bubble counter so I never have to refill it. This system has been rock steady for 9 months so far and Im about to refill this cylinder any day now. The folks at GLA are top notch folks. I can only imagine the stuff they must deal with these days to bring us such excellent products to our hobby. Thank you GLA for being ever supportive of my hobby. Your products have brought many smiles into my families home.

This is the kit.
I looked high and low and did all my research for ridiculous amount of months. Come 2022 I ordered this system from GLA. I love the co2 regulator, and all the bits it comes with. The cylinder was very new and US made as is the co2 tubing they supply so I liked that even more. It’s been flawless and my tank is bringing me so much pleasure when I need it the most. Great products and service from GLA.

This is the best co2 regulator and service.
On an emergency I needed replacing my old co2 system. My co2art regulator chekc valve failed and flooded the regulator. I tried to clean it and purge it of water with no luck. They had no service option either so basically became trash. Super important factor GLA should advertise, you can service and rebuild a GLA regulator! First impressions, very high quality, you can feel it and visually see it. The finish is much nicer than co2art and the precision of the bubble rate is much more linear. The solenoid is very well made and the bolt design is much nicer and much more compact and finished. It also has a water tight chord grip leading to the LED. I should have went GLA from the start.

Only way to fly is GLA.
I echo what many here say, GLAS is the way to go. Ive tried all the competing brands and GLA is leaps and bounds in quality and flow rates. The needle valve is sooooo much nicer. I love it!
