FAQs
Does this set include the CO2 gas cylinder?
No, the JBL ProFlora CO2 Basic Set V requires you to purchase a standard CO2 cylinder separately.
Can this system be used in saltwater aquariums?
No, this system is specifically engineered for freshwater plant growth and is not suitable for saltwater environments.
How often should I replace the CO2/pH test liquid?
It is recommended to refresh the test indicator liquid every few weeks or whenever the color becomes difficult to read.
Is it safe to leave the CO2 running 24/7?
While some users do this, it is recommended to monitor the pH level closely at night, as plants stop absorbing CO2 and acidity can rise.
Can I use standard aquarium tubing with this kit?
No, you must use CO2-resistant tubing provided in the kit, as standard tubing will become brittle and leak gas.
Troubleshooting
No bubbles appearing in the bubble counter
Check that the cylinder valve is open and the pressure reducer is set correctly. Ensure there are no kinks in the CO2-resistant hose.
Water backing up into the hose
Check that the non-return valve is oriented correctly and not clogged. Replace the valve if it fails to prevent water backflow.
Inconsistent CO2 levels indicated by the test kit
Verify that the diffuser is placed in a high-flow area and clean the ceramic disk if it appears blocked by algae or mineral deposits.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward. Begin by screwing the pressure reducer onto your external CO2 cylinder. Securely attach the provided CO2-resistant hose to the output of the pressure regulator, then link it to the bubble counter and eventually the diffuser inside the tank. Always ensure the non-return valve is positioned correctly between the diffuser and the regulator. For maintenance, periodically check the bubble counter liquid level and replace the water if it becomes cloudy. Inspect the hose connections every few months to ensure they remain tightened and verify that the diffuser ceramic is free of calcium buildup to maintain gas diffusion efficiency.
