Food for aquatic plants
Plants provide the aquarium with oxygen which is vital for its inhabitants, prevent algae growth, eliminate harmful substances, provide hiding places and reduce pathogenic germs. The JBL fertilizer system supplies the plants through water with CO2, the primary nutrient. Plants absorb and transform it through photosynthesis and with the help of light into sugar and oxygen.
Easy installation
The system is completely ready for connection. Screw the pressure reducer onto the spare CO2 bottle and connect it via the hose to the bubble counter (incl. Non-return valve) and then to the reactor in the aquarium. Thus the CO2 enters the aquarium and is dissolved with the help of the reactor. The CO2 supply can be interrupted at night via the interconnected magnetic valve (night shutdown). The quantity of CO2 dissolved in the water is constantly shown by the CO2 / pH Permanent Test and can be adjusted later if necessary.
Safety
The reserve cylinder is TÜV approved. Thanks to the non-return valve, no water can enter the cylinder. The lifespan of a CO2 plant depends on various factors. The carbonate hardness, the quantity and type of plants as well as the intensity of the water movement on the surface are decisive. A 500 g cylinder that is not turned off overnight by a magnetic valve lasts about 4 months with the factory setting. The recyclable CO2 cylinders are on the market individually or in cheaper packs of 3 pieces.
Conversion from disposable cylinders to refillable cylinders and vice versa
All JBL CO2 cylinder systems are compatible with each other. In the multi-purpose system (M system), the union nut of the pressure reducer can be simply unscrewed with an Allen key. Thus the pressure reducer is suitable for the U system (disposable cylinders). Reverse the method in case of single use system. |
