Product Information
Full details
The JBL ProFlora CO2 Professional Set U is designed for dedicated freshwater aquarists maintaining tanks between 40 and 600 litres who want to promote lush plant growth. By providing precise carbon dioxide fertilization, this system enhances photosynthesis, oxygenates the water, and suppresses algae proliferation; however, potential buyers should note that the pH electrode required for full automatic control is sold separately and must be purchased to unlock the system's complete functionality.

FAQs
Does this set include a pH controller?
No, the set includes the hardware to facilitate automatic control, but the pH controller and the pH electrode must be purchased separately.
Can I use this on a tank smaller than 40 litres?
While it can be used, the system is optimized for tanks up to 600 litres; ensure you use a very low bubble rate to avoid CO2 toxicity in smaller volumes.
How often should I replace the CO2 cylinder?
Replacement frequency depends on your aquarium size, plant density, and CO2 demand; generally, a 500g cylinder lasts several months for medium-sized tanks.
Is the tubing included safe for CO2?
Yes, the kit includes special CO2-resistant tubing designed to prevent gas diffusion and loss.
What is the function of the bubble counter?
The bubble counter allows you to visually monitor and accurately set the amount of CO2 being injected into your aquarium.
Can I switch to refillable cylinders later?
Yes, the pressure regulator is generally compatible with standard aquarium CO2 systems, though you may require an adapter depending on the cylinder thread type.
Troubleshooting
Visible CO2 leakage at connections
Ensure all tubing is pushed firmly onto the connectors and check that the regulator is tightened properly to the cylinder.
Large, uneven bubbles from the diffuser
The diffuser membrane may be dirty or clogged. Remove the diffuser and clean it in a mild vinegar solution to clear the pores.
Solenoid valve is making a humming noise
Verify that the solenoid valve is receiving the correct voltage and that it is fully seated; a slight hum is often normal, but loud vibrations may indicate a loose component.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Supports healthy plant growth and reduces unwanted algae
- Suitable for a wide range of aquarium sizes (40-600L)
- Includes professional-grade components for reliability
- Solenoid valve allows for night-time shut-off to save CO2
- Straightforward assembly and installation process
Cons
- pH electrode not included in the base package
- Disposable cylinders may be less cost-effective long-term than refillable options
- Requires additional compatible computer controller for automatic pH regulation
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup begins by attaching the pressure regulator to the 500g disposable CO2 cylinder. Connect the solenoid valve to your aquarium controller or a standard timer. Run the CO2-resistant tubing from the regulator through the bubble counter to the internal diffuser. Ensure all connections are secure to prevent gas leaks. For maintenance, check the bubble counter levels weekly and clean the diffuser membrane periodically if you observe large bubbles, which indicate clogging. If you intend to use the automatic control feature, connect a compatible pH electrode to your controller and calibrate it according to the controller manufacturer's instructions before submerging it in the aquarium.
