Product information

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

The difference between Bio-CO2 and pressurised gas cylinder CO2 systems:
Bio-CO2 systems are based on the biological process of yeast fermentation in which CO2 is produced. Here 2 bio-components are made to react in a bottle/reaction vessel. To replenish the system after about 40 days, the reaction bottle/vessel only needs to be refilled with water and the two bio-components.
In the CO2 pressurised gas cylinder system, the CO2 gas is present at about 60 bar in steel pressure cylinders. When they are empty, they can be refilled by a specialist retailer (reusable cylinders, M system) or they are disposable cylinders (U system) which are simply replaced.

It makes no difference to the plants where the CO2 comes from, whether it is from biological or pressurised cylinder systems. They grow much stronger as soon as a CO2 system is installed. The systems are of more concern to the aquarists, who have to decide whether they want disposable cylinders, refillable pressure cylinders or a pressureless bio system.

In addition to CO2 fertilisation, it is important you don’t neglect the other components that are necessary for healthy & vigorous growth of the aquarium plants: the right light (e.g. JBL LED SOLAR); sufficient fertilisation with minerals & trace elements (JBL PROFLORA FERROPOL); preferably a root fertilisation for strongly rooting plants with JBL PROFLORA FERROPOL ROOT/ The 7 Balls; the right water temperature (usually between 23 and 26 °C); and the absence of plant-eating fish.

FAQ
May the JBL PROFLORA CO2 products only be used for the aquarium?

Yes, the JBL PROFLORA CO2 products are designed exclusively for use in the aquarium. The gas contained promotes plant growth and works with fine precision so that even the smallest quantities can be supplied to the aquarium. Constant operation and the safety of the fish are thus guaranteed.

What is the minimum working pressure I need to use the JBL CO2 accessories?

All check valves or backflow protectíons from JBL require a working pressure of at least 0.6 bar for the valve to open. This feature can be found in the JBL PROFLORA CO2 TAIFUN SAFESTOP, COUNTSAFE and INLINE. The JBL PROFLORA TAIFUN diffusers also all already work with this pressure. A higher working pressure is not necessary, which is why all accessories also work with the JBL PROFLORA BIO SETs (except JBL PROFLORA CO2 STARTER BIO SET). Due to installation, a slightly higher working pressure than 0.6 bar may be necessary due to long hoses and other components, which is why the presetting of 1.2 bar is sufficient in any case.

Should I use several check valves on my CO2 installation?

True to the motto, better safe than sorry, some aquarists install several check valves in the same circuit. For example, if you use the JBL PROFLORA direct inline diffuser or the JBL PROFLORA CO2 Count Safe bubble counter, you already have an integrated check valve. If you also use a separate check valve (JBL PROFLORA SafeStop), there may be problems with the opening of the check valves. This effect can be observed if, after the night switch-off or interruption of the supply with the controller, the addition does not restart automatically. Please note that, depending on the working pressure and the number of bubbles, a few minutes may pass between the start of the supply and the visible entry of CO2 into the aquarium.
Each spring in a check valve needs a certain pressure to be opened. Several springs can therefore interfere with each other and, depending on the distance between the two check valves, reduce the pressure at the spring to such an extent that it remains closed. Therefore, please always use only one check valve for your CO2 installation.

How a CO2 fertiliser system works

With the help of a CO2 fertiliser system you can increase the CO2 content in your aquarium water and lower the pH value. You have the choice between a "Bio-CO2" system and a CO2 fertiliser system with a pressurised gas cylinder.

What factors lead to perfect plant growth?

Vigorous and healthy plant growth in the aquarium is of course never based on just one factor. It is always the interplay of light, heat, fertiliser and the main nutrient carbon dioxide (CO2).

Es un producto que me ha sorprendido para bien por la facilidad a la hora de montarlo. Los materiales son de buena calidad y es muy intuitivo. Lo único que destacaria a mejorar, es el difusor de Co2 ya que le cuesta un poco sacar busbujas en la totalidad de la placa. En mi caso al menos, solo saca burbujas por un lateral.

Ik gebruikte eerder Easycarbo, maar mijn Vallisneria deed het niet goed. Nu heb ik mij de JBL proflora advanced aangeschaft, en dit werkt prima. Nu groeit mijn vallisneria heel goed.

De montage aan het glas van het aquarium zorgt voor de geschikte temperatuur in het reactievat, de belletjes in de diffusor zorgen voor een gelijkmatige toevoer van CO2. Ik ben dus heel tevreden over dit product.

I used this bio co2 set in one of my tanks for a few weeks but it's not stable. The co2 is coming out sometime high amount and then lower. If you have fishes or shrimps in the tank I don't recommend it because it's going 24/7. For only plantedtank this is not a problem.

But the bio is definitely not the stable co2 you would expect. I did no longer then 21 days with one fill up.

Comment from JBL:

Hi Daniel,

thank you for your feedback.

The 24/7 production is no problem. The amount is low so you will create a depot by night and enough for the day. The critical point of more than 30 mg/l will not get reached in the recommended tank size. It will be stable with a good room temperature of 23 °C or by using the basket beside the tank to use its temperature. So feel free to try it again.

Ich habe an zwei Becken das Advanced Bio Set und bin sehr zufrieden ! Der Aufbau und die Installation sind wirklich einfach, besonders hat mich gefreut, dass ein Taifun Glass Diffusor dabei ist. Ich finde das sieht im Becken einfach optisch schöner aus. Die Anlage ist eine gute und preiswerte Alternative zu einer Druckgasanlage und für ein normal bepflanztes Becken vollkommen ausreichend.

Zum testen welche wirkung Co2 auf eure Pflanzen hat finde ich es eine gute und günstige alternative. Alerdings würde ich für diue dauerlösung auf Druckgas setzen.

Super product, you want to try Co2 and you don't want to invest big money in the whole Co2 pressure system. It took a while for the device to pressurize, but then it was the same, but if it lasts the guaranteed 80 days, I can't confirm it yet, otherwise I recommend it.
