I just got a 20lb tank of CO2. I would like to run at least 3 tanks off it and have room for more in the future. I think I can do this with one regulator and a manifold with multiple lines coming out of it. Would I need a solenoid for each line or install one before the manifold? I am assuming that I need a needle valve and a bubble counter for each line. Brand new to pressurized CO2. I excited to see some results.
 
The solenoid should fit on the regulator you get and will be before the manifold. You will need a needle valve and a bubble counter for each line (if you want a bubble counter). If the tank is not super close to the co2 tank, you can get an inline needle valve. I run co2 into 2 tanks from my co2 setup and used to do 3. Its so nice!
 
you need a needle valve for each one. a bubble counter isnt a must but its nice.

Thanks I haven't ordered any parts yet so that clears things up a bit.
