Replacing a Solenoid for a Calcium Reactor, crazy price?

[Acuario]

I thought it would be a good idea to have a backup for my calcium reactor solenoid that's been running steady for several years now. It's a 3 watt, 24v DC solenoid. I won't mention the manufacturer unless it's okay to here, but I finally tracked it down and they make this solenoid exclusively for another corporation, who will sell me a new one for $719.20 + shipping, + five weeks lead time. Are there other solenoids out there I might use instead? I'll attach a photo of what I have.

That’s crazy. I have a used 120 volt one I can sell you for $25. Shipped if your interested.

You could a couple brand new two stage regulators with solonoids at that price. Don’t do it!

There is a huge here on custom regulator setups that you might want to look at to get other valves that will work. I think @Water Dog started the thread.

I used the Neptune Apex solenoid as an emergency CO2 shutoff on my calcium reactor in the event the pH went below my set point.

Building an Alanle style dual stage CO2 regulator

So I wanted to start a build thread on how to put together an Alanle style DIY dual stage regulator. Over the last couple of years, after building a couple of my own regulators, I have been helping a bunch of memebers, both here and on RC, with sourcing parts and putting together their...
