Product information

Ideal nutrition for plants
Carbon dioxide serves as the main nutrient for plants and thus promotes their ideal growth. Plants use CO2 for photosynthesis and thus supply the water with essential oxygen. They prevent algae growth, remove pollutants, offer hiding places and reduce pathogens. The correct amount of CO2 varies from aquarium to aquarium and depends on the volume, the water movement and the planting of the aquarium. With the JBL pressure reducer a precise dosage of CO2 is possible.

Easy to install
By using a size 6 Allen key (not included) the adapter can be screwed into the JBL pressure reducer. The conversion can be reversed at any time.

Technical Data

FAQ
Can two adapters be combined?

No, this is not possible. You can only ever make one change with the JBL PROFLORA adapters. u95 --> u500, one-way Dennerle --> u001 or u001 --> m001.

Example: If you use the small 95 g CO2 cartridges with the JBL PROFLORA u201 pressure reducer to supply CO2 to your aquarium, you can make a connection from the u201 to the u500 disposable cylinders with the existing pressure reducer using the adapter from the JBL PROFLORA range. This means that the JBL PROFLORA u201 pressure reducer can be used with the JBL PROFLORA u500 disposable CO2 cylinders. The pressure reducer remains unchanged. This means that no further "adaptation" with the JBL PROFLORA CO2 ADAPT U - M is possible. This also applies to all other combinations of adapters.

What do I need the enclosed Allen key for?

You need the enclosed Allen key for the conversion if you want to adapt your ProFlora u system onto the refillable cylinder of the m series. The ProFlora Adapt u-m is to be mounted as adapter.

There’s more to fertilization than you’d think Part 2

Fertilization is not just fertilization Part 1

Unlike in natural waters, aquariums with fish mostly have a surplus of nutrients caused by feeding and the resulting fish excrement. Thus nitrates and phosphates in large (often too large!) quantities are available for the plants.

What are PUSH messages? As part of the W3C standard, web notifications define an API for end-user notifications that are sent to the user's desktop and/or mobile devices via the browser. Notifications appear on the end devices as they are familiar to the end user from apps installed on the device (e.g. emails).

To be able to send web push notifications, all you need is a website with a web push code installed. This allows brands without apps to take advantage of many of the benefits of push notifications (personalised real-time communications at just the right moment).
