It looks to be an Aqualung Aquarius made between 1994-1997:

I don't know how to thank you. Thank you very much

Does anyone have anything about the second stage, from the Aquarius

Well, barring you being a little bit more helpful and posting a picture of your actual 2nd stage...I'll peer into my crystal ball and provide what I see:

First up is a US Divers/Aqualung 2nd stage with a body and faceplate made from composite/plastic material marked with the model name "Aquarius". This 2nd stage was commonly used with other 1st stages with just a purge button decal change or a decal + faceplate design change...the rest of the internals were the same across the spectrum of names used (see 2nd and 3rd pictures for clarity).

Up next is a metal body US Divers 2nd stage marked with the model name "Aquarius". This metal 2nd stage has main body with a part # of 1049 and it and its internals were also paired with multiple 1st stages such as an iteration of the US Divers Calypso as well as the Calypso J. This "Aquarius" 2nd stage predates your particular Aquarius 1st stage and was paired with the older Aquarius 1st stage depicted below, both I believe were circa 1970s:

***My crystal ball predicts that you have the plastic version depicted in the 1st picture above.***

Yes, I think it is also. I still have one of these regs somewhere in my box of gear.
