Product Information

Full details

The JBL ProFlora CO2 Taifun Spiral 10 is designed for freshwater aquarium enthusiasts who want an efficient, low-maintenance solution to promote lush plant growth. This passive CO2 reactor excels at dissolving carbon dioxide without the need for an external pump or complex bubble counter, making it ideal for 40 to 400-litre tanks. While it provides excellent diffusion, users should note that its efficiency relies on the height of the tank to allow the CO2 bubbles enough travel time to dissolve completely.

FAQs

Can I use this for a 500-litre tank?

The Taifun 10 is rated for 40 to 400 litres. For larger tanks, you should add extra modules to ensure sufficient dissolution.

Does this require a separate pump?

No, it is a passive system and operates entirely without a pump.

How do I know if the CO2 is dissolving?

You can watch the bubbles decrease in size as they travel up the spiral path. If they disappear before reaching the top, the unit is working efficiently.

Is it difficult to clean?

The unit is fully dismountable, making it very easy to reach every part of the spiral for cleaning.

Can I hide the unit behind plants?

Yes, but ensure there is still some water circulation around it to help disperse the enriched water.

Troubleshooting

Bubbles are rising in a straight line instead of following the spiral

Ensure the reactor is mounted perfectly vertically on the aquarium glass.

Algae growth inside the spiral path

Remove the unit and clean the segments with a soft brush and warm water.

CO2 bubbles are reaching the top too quickly

Adjust your CO2 flow rate down or add an extra module to increase the spiral path length.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • No electricity required for operation
  • Easy to disassemble and clean
  • Highly efficient CO2 utilization
  • Modular design allows for tank growth
  • Built-in bubble counting functionality

Cons

  • Requires sufficient tank height for optimal dissolution
  • Can be visually obtrusive in smaller tanks
  • Not suitable for extremely high-demand CO2 setups without expansion

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, suction the reactor to the inside glass of your aquarium, ideally in a location where you can easily view the bubbles. Connect your CO2 tubing to the base input. When cleaning, simply detach the reactor from the suction cups, pull the spiral segments apart, and rinse with warm water to remove any algae or biofilm buildup. Avoid using harsh chemicals as these can leave residues harmful to your aquatic life. Ensure the unit remains vertical at all times for consistent bubble travel.
