Could someone explain the Parker regulator face seal and why it's bad?

if you are taking about seals used with the fitting used install fitting in the reg. i do not think they are bad, it just you need to use the proper ones with the reg and you need to use the right fittings. just a bit harder to figure out. with that , my reg uses face seals , have had zero issues with it. been running for almost a year.

I'm using a Parker ir6000 with face seals as well. They work fine but I believe they are not as easy to find fittings for and maybe more expensive. But most just get adapters to reg fittings.

Here is 1 already setup with everything you need for use in a sw tank. Reasonably priced.

This seller has quite a few setups. They look like good regulators but I did not see any model numbers listed. Do your research!

There's a reefkeeping article on calcium reactors that says the output pressure should be between 20-25 psi, but if it's a two stage regulator, then it is only 5 psi. Can anyone confirm this is correct?

I think he is saying if you are using a reg single stage reg you should keep it at 20-25psi. But a 2 stage you can regulate better so you can drop it to 5 psi.
I run at 4 psi. I think slief runs at 3 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What's a good CV value and orifice size for a needle valve? Can it be too small?

From swagelok or hoke? My suggestion is unless you know what you are doing, don't stray too far from the listed part numbers and you won't go wrong.

Are diaphragm valves suitable, or should we stick to needle valves? Is there a difference between fluid valves and gas valves?

Aren't you using the Pacific Sun reactor? Do you need to count bubbles? If not, you don't even need a metering valve.

If you need that low a bubble count then you still need a metering valve.
