Product Information

Full details

The JBL ProFlora CO2 Advanced Set V is a professional-grade fertilization system engineered for aquarists managing freshwater setups between 40 and 600 liters. By supplying carbon dioxide as a primary nutrient for photosynthesis, it accelerates healthy plant growth and helps inhibit algae development, though users should note that the necessary CO2 cylinder must be purchased separately.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this system come with a CO2 cylinder?

No, the CO2 cylinder must be purchased separately.

Can I use this on a 50-liter aquarium?

Yes, the system is suitable for aquariums ranging from 40 to 600 liters.

What is the benefit of the solenoid valve?

The solenoid valve allows you to turn the CO2 supply off automatically at night when plants aren't performing photosynthesis, preventing CO2 waste and potential pH drops.

How often should I clean the reactor?

You should clean the reactor whenever you notice a significant buildup of algae or debris that inhibits bubble diffusion, typically every 2-3 months.

Why is the permanent test kit included?

The test kit provides a continuous visual check of the CO2 level in your tank, allowing you to fine-tune the system for optimal plant growth without harming your livestock.

Troubleshooting

No bubbles appearing in the bubble counter

Check that the CO2 cylinder valve is open, the solenoid is powered, and there are no kinks in the CO2-resistant tubing.

CO2 levels too low according to test kit

Slowly increase the working pressure on the regulator or check the reactor for blockages that may be limiting diffusion.

Solenoid valve buzzing or not closing

Ensure the solenoid is receiving the correct voltage and check the connection to the timer; clean any debris from the valve if it fails to shut off.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Comprehensive all-in-one fertilization kit
  • Effective at promoting lush, dense plant growth
  • Energy-efficient night-time shut-off solenoid
  • Safe design with non-return valve and secure fittings
  • Supports a wide range of aquarium sizes (40-600 liters)

Cons

  • CO2 cylinder not included in the set
  • Requires careful initial calibration for pH stability
  • Reactor may require periodic cleaning to maintain efficiency

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the system, attach the pressure reducer securely to your compatible CO2 cylinder. Connect the provided CO2-resistant tubing to the bubble counter, ensuring the check valve is positioned correctly toward the reactor inside the tank. The system is compatible with standard CO2 cylinders. For maintenance, regularly check the bubble count to ensure consistent gas delivery and inspect the hose connections for signs of wear. The Taifun reactor should be cleaned periodically in a mild water and vinegar solution to remove biofilm or mineral deposits that could impair CO2 diffusion. Always ensure the system is positioned above the water level or configured with adequate non-return protection to prevent water from reaching the regulator.
