Product Information

Full details

The JBL ProFlora CO2 Advanced Bio Set is designed for aquarium hobbyists looking to promote lush, healthy plant growth in smaller tanks ranging from 40 to 110 liters. By leveraging a biological fermentation process, it provides a consistent supply of carbon dioxide without the need for expensive high-pressure hardware. While it is an excellent entry-level solution, users should note that the output level is fixed and cannot be precisely adjusted like a regulated pressurized system.

FAQs

Is this system safe for fish?

Yes, when used according to the instructions within the recommended tank size, it provides a safe, steady amount of CO2 for plants without harming fish.

Do I need a separate CO2 regulator?

No, this is a biological system that does not require a regulator or high-pressure gauges.

Can I use this in a tank larger than 110 liters?

It is not recommended, as the CO2 output would be insufficient to reach the desired saturation levels in larger volumes of water.

How do I know when it is time to refill?

You will notice a gradual decline in the bubble count produced by the diffuser, typically around the 40-day mark.

Does it need electricity?

No, the system operates entirely through biological fermentation and requires no power source.

Troubleshooting

No bubbles appearing in the diffuser

Check all hose connections for leaks and ensure the reaction mixture has had sufficient time to start the fermentation process (usually 24-48 hours).

Water backing up into the hose

Immediately check the backflow protection valve to ensure it is installed in the correct direction and is not clogged.

Gas production is too slow

Ensure the canister is placed inside the thermal casing to maintain the ideal temperature for the yeast reaction.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Simple and straightforward setup for beginners
  • No requirement for heavy, expensive pressurized tanks
  • Consistent performance through thermal regulation
  • Includes essential safety features like backflow protection

Cons

  • CO2 output is not adjustable
  • Requires periodic refills every 40 days
  • Limited to tanks between 40 and 110 liters
  • Biological process takes a short time to begin initial gas production

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up the system involves preparing the reaction mixture and connecting the specialized diffuser to the hose. Always ensure the backflow protection device is installed correctly to prevent aquarium water from entering the canister. The unit is optimized for freshwater aquariums sized 40 to 110 liters. For maintenance, simply monitor the bubble count and the age of the mixture. Every 40 days, rinse the reaction canister thoroughly before starting a new batch. Ensure the thermal casing is placed in an area with a relatively stable ambient temperature to prevent fluctuations in gas production.
