JBL Proflora CO2 Advanced Set V, CO2 Fertiliser System Complete Set for 40-600 L, with Night Shut-Off, 2 Pressure Gauges and Extensive Accessories, Without Bottle

Product Information

In an aquarium, plants thrive on the carbon dioxide produced by the fish while the fish feed on plant matter and also take cover underneath it. However, too much or too little CO2 will affect plants. Our range of CO2 sets, featuring products from Fluval and JBL, enhance plant growth which in turn helps ensure a healthy, safe environment for your fish and other inhabitants. Add reagent 2 drop by drop. After each drop, swirl and count the drops until a pink colour is obtained which remains stable for 60 seconds and corresponds to the colour in the second measuring tube on the pink colour eld. To compare the colours, look into the tubes from above. Professional water care with night switch-off: precise dosing thanks to pressure reducer, even release, effective distribution due to extendable diffuser, best control due to bubble counter, CO2/pH test, residual pressure display on pressure gauge The respiratory rate and pulse rate increase at a carbon dioxide concentration of 3-5%. Other symptoms are headaches, discomfort and ringing in the ears. Carbon dioxide concentrations of 8-10% and more cause these symptoms to become more pronounced. This may lead to cramps, fainting, apnoea and death from suffocation.

Cylinder: Reusable cylinders are TÜV tested and this is stamped on the cylinder. This test needs to be renewed every 10 years, with the bottom of the cylinder and the valve sealing and threaded joint being tested. Please note: When fertilising with so-called liquid carbon, fertiliser monitoring with JBL PRO AQUATEST CO2 Direct is not possible because these fertilisers do not con-tain CO2 but other carbon compounds. Procedure: These systems are easy to install and ready for connection. Simply screw the pressure reducer onto the CO2 storage cylinder. Connect the pressure reducer with the hose to the diffuser in the aquarium. The CO2 enters the aquarium and is dissolved in the water by the diffuser. The CO2 supply can be interrupted at night by adding a solenoid valve. Why test? Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the most important plant nutrient. The consump-tion of CO2 differs from aquarium to aquarium and depends, amongst other things, on the following factors: number and demands of plants, carbonate hardness, water movement and light. Fertilisation with CO2 is usually done with a CO2 fertiliser system. In the aquarium water, a CO2 content between 15 and 30 mg / l is recommended. This range is safe for fish and at the same time ensures luxuriant plant growth. 20–25 mg/l CO2 has proven to be ideal. In special aquariums with a large number of plants, higher values of up to 35 mg/l may be required.

Brand

elevated phosphate levels (over 90 %); phosphate limitation by means of JBL PhosEx ultra is often helpful here.

The sets of the "BASIC" range contain all components to visibly promote the growth of aquarium plants by adding CO2. You have the choice between a set without a CO2 supply cylinder (VARIO system), if a cylinder is already available, with a disposable CO2 storage cylinder (U system) or a refillable CO2 storage cylinder (M system). Connect sensors (pH sensor not included), set desired values in menu, connect with solenoid valve (not included) CO2 fertiliser system for the best feeding of fast and slow growing plants in freshwater aquariums up to 600 l (max. 120 cm)

CO2

These great value for money kits provide aquatic plants with the appropriate levels of carbon dioxide to help them to thrive. We have a wide range suitable for all sizes of aquariums. If you have a smaller set-up, the Fluval Pressurised CO2 Kit is an ideal choice, including everything you need to grow and maintain lush aquatic plants. If you have a larger, more complex aquarium, the larger kits such as the JBL CO2 range, include a 500g filled canister, permanent CO2 level indicator and all the fittings and valves needed. With this test you can determine the CO2 content of your aquarium water in mg/l. Thus, monitor the setting of your CO2 fertiliser system. Plants boost the aquarium with vital oxygen for the aquarium dwellers, prevent algae growth and remove pollutants. CO2 systems supply the plants with the main nutrient CO2, through the water. This helps improve the water quality, boost the health of both fish and plants, and also keep algae and related compounds at bay. CO2 sets are the perfect accessory for planted aquariums to help achieve and maintain strong, healthy and attractive aquatic plant life. They can regulate the amount of CO2 that is given and many kits allow you to adjust the range to suit your fish and plants. The system comes completely ready for connection. Screw the pressure reducer onto the CO2 storage cylinder. Connect the pressure reducer with the hose to the diffuser in the aquarium. The CO2 enters the aquarium and is dissolved in the water by the diffuser. The CO2 supply can be interrupted at night by adding a solenoid valve.
