GLA PRO-DS-5 Dual Stage CO2 Regulator (5 Block Modular Manifold)

GLA PRO-DS-5 Dual Stage CO2 Regulator (Modular)

The GLA PRO-DS-5 Dual Stage CO2 Regulator is a professional-grade solution designed for advanced planted aquariums and large multi-tank setups. Built for precision, stability, and long-term reliability, it delivers consistent CO2 output without the pressure fluctuations commonly found in single-stage regulators.

Engineered with a modular manifold system, the PRO-DS allows you to distribute CO2 to multiple aquariums while maintaining independent control of each line.

Who This Is For

• Advanced aquascapers and high-tech planted tanks
• Multi-aquarium setups (5 tanks)
• Users who demand maximum stability and control

If you are looking for the highest level of CO2 precision and a regulator that can scale with your setup, the PRO-DS is the ideal solution.

Why Dual Stage Matters

Dual-stage regulators reduce CO2 pressure in two steps, eliminating fluctuations as the cylinder empties. This prevents “end-of-tank dump” and ensures stable, consistent CO2 delivery from full to empty.

• No end-of-tank pressure spikes
• Stable working pressure throughout cylinder life
• Ideal for sensitive and high-demand aquariums

Modular Manifold System

The PRO-DS-5 includes a five-block manifold, allowing you to run five aquariums from a single regulator. Each block provides independent control and additional blocks can be added or removed as your system evolves.

• Five independent CO2 output lines
• Expandable multi-tank CO2 distribution
• Independent needle valve control per aquarium
• Clean, scalable system design

FAQ

What is the benefit of dual-stage regulation?
Dual-stage regulators prevent pressure fluctuations as the CO2 cylinder empties, ensuring stable output and eliminating end-of-tank dump.

Can this run multiple aquariums?
Yes. The PRO-DS-5 includes five independently controlled output lines.

Each block provides one CO2 output. This model is configured for five aquariums, but additional blocks can be added later if your setup expands.

Can I expand later?
Yes. Additional manifold blocks can be added as your system grows.

Is this compatible with other regulators?
No. The modular manifold system is designed specifically for GLA PRO-DS regulators.
