Ok i have a xstream nitro duck with an output of 850 or higher, i fire and it goes like 10 feet at the max and falls to the ground, whats the problem? to much pressure, to little? Co2 works fine but i seen my friend just use a preset of 800 and it works fine.

ok it is a 98c with marcoline and custom products on/off, polished internals and yes the tank is screwed in all the way and the marcoline is long enough and the velocity screw is not all the way in.

The Nitro Duck extreme reg is an adjustable tank regulator. You probly need to turn it up.

*edit* are you using a chronograph to check velocity??

Turn your velocity screw until it is flush with the inside of your powertube. Gradually turn up the tank reg until you are shooting around 300 fps. Use the velocity screw to bring the reg down to target veloctiy.

Yea the tank is giving out close to the max pressure 900, and the screw is far out already, obviously the velocity is too low.

if other tanks work fine, then the problem points to your tank.

Are you sure you don't just have 900 PSI left in your tank??
