Product Information

Full details

The JBL ProFlora CO2 Advanced Set U is an essential fertilization system for dedicated aquarists looking to cultivate lush, thriving planted freshwater tanks ranging from 40 to 600 liters. By delivering a consistent supply of carbon dioxide, this system optimizes photosynthesis, which actively promotes vibrant plant growth, improves oxygen levels, and helps suppress unwanted algae blooms. While this comprehensive kit simplifies the path to a high-tech aquarium, users should note that it requires periodic monitoring of the CO2 permanent test to ensure optimal gas concentrations and prevent over-saturation.

FAQs

Can this system be used with refillable cylinders?

This specific kit is designed for disposable cylinders; check the compatibility of your regulator threads if you decide to upgrade to refillable tanks later.

How often do I need to replace the 500g CO2 cylinder?

The duration depends on your tank volume and bubble rate; however, most medium-planted 100L tanks will get several months of use from one canister.

Do I need to leave the solenoid valve on 24/7?

No, it is highly recommended to connect the solenoid to a timer that matches your aquarium light schedule to prevent CO2 waste.

Is this system safe for shrimp?

Yes, provided the CO2 levels are maintained within the recommended range of 20-30mg/L as indicated by the included test kit.

Where should the reactor be placed?

Place the Taifun reactor in an area with good water circulation to ensure the CO2-enriched water is dispersed evenly throughout the tank.

Troubleshooting

No bubbles appearing in the bubble counter

Check that the solenoid valve is powered and open, and verify that the main cylinder valve is fully engaged with the regulator.

CO2 level is too low in the aquarium

Increase the flow slightly using the needle valve on the regulator and wait 24 hours to re-check the permanent test.

Water backing up into the hose

Immediately replace the check valve, as the current one may be faulty or saturated with debris.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Comprehensive all-in-one kit reduces the need for separate accessory purchases
Automatic solenoid valve significantly improves CO2 efficiency and convenience
Suitable for a wide range of aquarium sizes from 40L up to 600L
Excellent safety features including TÜV testing and a backflow check valve
Easy-to-read gauges simplify pressure monitoring and adjustments

Cons

Disposable cylinders may be less cost-effective over long periods compared to refillable tanks
Requires regular maintenance of the diffuser to prevent clogging
Initial setup requires careful calibration of the bubble count

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the system, securely screw the pressure regulator onto the provided 500g disposable CO2 cylinder. Connect the CO2-resistant hose from the regulator outlet through the bubble counter and into the Taifun reactor inside the tank. Ensure the check valve is positioned correctly between the tank and the regulator to prevent water backflow. For maintenance, keep the Taifun reactor clean by occasionally soaking it in a mild cleaning solution to remove biofilm or mineral deposits. Always verify that the O-ring seals remain lubricated and free of debris to prevent gas leaks at the regulator connection.
