Home Depot plumbing dept has a needle valve 1/8" NPT for about $4 and it works fine.

Thanks for posting:

?? Do I need the Precision needle valve or Super precision needle valve for for the co2 unit that I am using on my new coralhound calcium reactor. Is it worth the money for super or just smoke and mirrors and unneeded extra expense

You want a good needle valve on your regulator. And you want a good regulator. Doesn't take much CO2 to turn you tank into a pH 5 pile of dead mush.

I don't think you need a $80 needle valve however.

pH 5 in salt water - WOW - you need to increase your alkalinity
