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 With CO2 and planting equipment you can ensure the health of your plants and their ability to photosynthesise, this will allow your plants to oxygenate the water in your tank. Oxygenating the water is key for the survival of any marine life and often requires hardware to achieve, if you can manage the CO2 and the number of plants carefully you can create plenty of oxygenated water for your entire tank. What are the main types of CO2 and planting equipment products? The pressure reducer fits disposable CO2 cylinders (U system) and refillable cylinders (M system). By unscrewing the knurled nut (W21.8x1/14) with an Allen key, the pressure reducer fits the M10x1 thread of the disposable cylinders The pressure reducer reduces the cylinder pressure from approx. 60 bar (displayed on pressure gauge 1) to a low 1.2 bar working pressure (displayed on pressure gauge 2), so that the CO2 supply can be easily regulated Features: JBL PRO AQUATEST Ca is an easy-to-use titration test to determine the carbon dioxide content of freshwater.

The solenoid valve can either be switched on and off by a timer (not included) so that it switches on the light and the CO2 in the morning (and switches off again in the evening) or the solenoid valve is switched on and off by a CO2 control unit (JBL PROFLORA CO2 CONTROL) to regulate the CO2 supply and thus the pH value automatically. Plants provide the aquarium with vital oxygen for the aquarium dwellers, prevent algae growth, remove pollutants, provide hiding places and reduce pathogens. The JBL plant fertiliser systems supply the plants with the main nutrient CO2 through the water. They absorb this through their leaves. 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. Algae problems in an aquarium can never be traced to just one factor or general condition, and instead, are always the result of a combination of different factors, which include light, fertilization, water changes – specifically, how often and how much – feeding, fish population and, of course, the specific water parameters.Live aquatic plants can bring a lot to an aquarium but they do need some care and attention to flourish. With CO2 and planting equipment you will have everything you need to tend to your aquarium garden, including ‘feeding’ your plants CO2 to allow them to perform photosynthesis, which changes CO2 into oxygen. Recently there has also been a growing trend in what is known as aquascaping. Aquascaping is the process of styling your aquarium plants, similar to how a professional gardener might, to create an impressive arrangement of flora. Why should I buy CO2 and planting equipment products?

Promotes plant growth and leads to lively fish: measurement and control computer with touchpad for the high-precision calculation and control of the best pH value in aquariumsDigital measurement and control technology: graphic display, direct user interface, separate sensors for pH value and temperature I have just spent 1000s on a new tank and all the hardware and part of this kit was the JBL PROFLORA m502: sets the desired pH value. Healthy fish and perfectly growing plants are the result. 10. CO2 reactor 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.

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:When using disposable cylinders, the adjustment knob for the working pressure is also the valve for opening your CO2 cylinder. When using refillable cylinders, you have an additional cylinder valve, open this first. The cylinder pressure now shows you a pressure of approx. 60 bar. This means that the cylinder is sufficiently filled and you can continue with the next steps. Since other acids in the water impair the measurement, a blank value must also be determined. To do this, take a water sample of 100 ml and aerate it for 15 min using a JBL ProSilent air pump with an air stone. Then determine the blank value according to the instructions given above. It sounds like a good idea to be fair, the automatic control of CO2... after just 24 hours of trying to get this 502 working, haha,

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 (not included). JBL's night-time switch off device is also included in this Advanced kit, which will reduce CO2 usage by half. By using a timer (not included), the device shuts off the carbon dioxide at night. Consequently, the supply lasts longer, saving you money and energy. Accessories and fertiliser are also provided for professional results every time. The in-tank test is used to provide permanent readings of carbon dioxide levels and pH values. 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.
