Thank you very much. Already haw a system like that in place. Looking to build a more advanced system using paintball co2 canisters.

I looked into paintball systems for awhile but then just decided to go pressurized. Here is a great link for paintball co2 Paintball Co2 Injection DIY Setup with Tons of Photos

Just save your money and invest in a real paintball regulator made for planted tanks. The Aquatek mini regulator is very good for the value. Having a solenoid valve will eventually save you money and practically pay for itself by not running your CO2 24/7 as you would most likely to with a DIY system. Messing with pressurized gas is something I don't take shortcuts on unless it's relatively low pressure as in a DIY yeast/sugar setup.

I actually just made mine 2 days ago. Seems work well. Cost me $10.
