FAQs

How often should I refill the system?

The refill frequency depends on your aquarium size and plant density. Typically, you'll need to refill every 4-6 weeks.

How do I know if the CO2 levels are correct?

Use the included CO2 indicator. The color should be in the 'ideal' range.

Is the system safe for fish?

Yes, the low-pressure system and CO2 indicator make it safe for fish when used as directed.

Where should I place the CO2 diffuser in the aquarium?

Place the diffuser in an area with good water circulation to ensure CO2 is distributed evenly.

Can I use this system with other CO2 systems?

This system is designed as a standalone solution, but you can always add additional CO2 to your aquarium as needed.

What kind of water should I use to mix the ingredients?

Use dechlorinated water to avoid harming the fermentation process.

How do I clean the diffuser?

Rinse the diffuser with warm water when needed. Do not use soap or detergents.

Troubleshooting

CO2 levels too low (indicator shows low CO2)

Check the system for leaks. Ensure the fermentation process is active by checking the ingredients and temperature.

CO2 levels too high (indicator shows high CO2)

Reduce the CO2 production. This can be achieved by adjusting the amount of ingredients used during the refilling process or by increasing surface agitation in your aquarium.

No CO2 production

Check all connections for leaks and make sure that the ingredients for fermentation have been properly added and mixed.

Indicator solution not changing color

Replace the indicator solution with a new one.
