This is an issue of system design that I am not really competent to address
and so you should not rely on my advice. If this were my problem, I would
set the regulator at 20psi into a high quality needle valve to drop the
pressure to around 2psi, then split that with the airline
valves. Alternately you can run two high quality needle valves off the
20psi.

then I have a brass airline valve to fine tune the output. I have a
home-made bubble counter and then I feed the tube into the input of my
canister filter. The other tank has the same set-up. Do you know of
something that I could use to split the two lines so that one does not take
pressure from the other?

I am assuming you have a regulator then the needle valve, then an appliance
(reactor, diffusor, whatever). Which appliance? What is the output
pressure from your regulator?
