I have two Hollis 212 regulators. One is a attached to the primary tank and one is attached to the 30cf pony bottle. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do so that I can tell these two apart, so that if for some reason both become free, I can be sure that I put the primary back in my mouth.

There is a couple of ways you can do this.

1) use different colored mouth pieces or different colored hoses (not good as you lose color with depth)
2) Use different hose types (IE one rubber, one MiFleX). Only works if you dive gloveless
3) Use snaps on one or some variation of snaps on the hoses (works fairly well )
4) Put the pony bottle such that the hose comes from the opposite side that your primary reg comes from. This means when you trace the hose it goes to a definite side and you will know instantly(assuming you remember which side is which)
