I have been using a Milwaukee A957 for 3 years now with no problems at all. There may be better but I have been very happy with it.

The key to regulators, is PROPERLY installing and setting them up. I've had a Milwaukee, and I sell a lot of them, but I'm currently using a JBJ because when my last one died (not Milwaukee's fault, it was hurrinace Katrina), Milwaukee was out of them, so I went with the JBJ.

If this ever needs replaced, I'll probably revert back to the Milwaukee, just because I know it so well.

Do yourself a favor though with whatever you go with, and add the JBJ check-valve bubble counter for another $20, it will be well worth it!

I remember Melev talking about an awesome one that he saw on ... i wanna say ... plantedtank.com, but I can't seem to find it.

Maybe message him and see if he remembers.

aquariumplants.com ...........best one that I ever had (have). It works as great as everyone says it is. I ordered one and it had a small piece of metal inside that was preventing it from working right (diagnosed by me after the new one came) and the first time I called them they had one sent to me.

Been working flawlessly since!
