JBL PROFLORA CO2 BASIC SET VARIO

Food for aquarium plants
Plants provide the aquarium with vital oxygen for the aquarium inhabitants, prevent algae growth, remove pollutants, provide hiding places and reduce germs. The JBL plant fertilizer system supplies the plants with the main nutrient CO2 via the water. The plants absorb this and convert it to sugar and oxygen in photosynthesis with the help of light.

Easy installation
The system is ready for connection, except for the CO2 cylinder, which is not included. Screw the pressure reducer onto the CO2 supply bottle and connect it by hose to the bubble counter (incl. backflow protection) and then to the diffuser in the aquarium. CO2 thus enters the aquarium and is dissolved in the water with the help of the diffuser. The CO2 supply can be interrupted at night by an interposed solenoid valve (night shut-off: not included). The amount of CO2 dissolved in the water is permanently displayed by the CO2/pH Permanent Test and can then be readjusted if necessary.

The range of a CO₂ system depends on various factors. Decisive is the carbonate hardness, the amount and type of plants and the strength of the water surface movement. A 500 g bottle that is not switched off at night by a solenoid valve will last about 4 months with basic adjustment. The recyclable CO2 disposable bottles can be purchased individually or in a more economical 3-pack.

The included pressure reducer fits both the JBL reusable bottles (M-system, thread type W21.8x1/14) and the JBL disposable bottles (U-system, thread type M10x1).
