Product Information
Full details
The JBL ProFlora CO2 Taifun Tube is an essential accessory for aquarium hobbyists who manage live plant growth through CO2 injection, providing a specialized, CO2-proof solution that prevents gas leakage and ensures maximum efficiency. Designed for use with standard CO2 systems, this 3-meter tubing replaces permeable standard airline hoses to deliver gas directly to your diffuser without loss; however, users should be aware that the material will naturally harden over time and requires periodic replacement to maintain a secure, airtight connection.

FAQs
Can I use standard silicone airline tubing instead?
No, standard silicone tubing is permeable to CO2 gas, which leads to gas loss and inconsistent injection rates.
What is the diameter of the tube?
The JBL ProFlora CO2 Taifun Tube has a standard 4/6mm diameter.
How often should I replace this tube?
While it varies by usage, it is recommended to inspect the tube annually and replace it if it begins to harden or crack.
Is this tube safe for freshwater aquariums?
Yes, it is designed specifically for aquarium use and is safe for both freshwater plants and fish.
Does the tube come with suction cups?
No, the package includes 3 meters of tubing only; you should use standard 4/6mm suction cup clips to secure it in place.
Can this be used for DIY yeast CO2 systems?
Yes, its CO2-proof properties make it an excellent choice for any system delivering CO2 gas.
Troubleshooting
Bubbles are not reaching the diffuser
Check the entire length of the tubing for kinks or sharp bends that may be restricting gas flow.
CO2 system is leaking at the connection points
The tubing may have hardened due to age; trim the end of the tube to expose fresh, flexible material and reconnect it firmly.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Prevents gas waste through specialized CO2-proof construction
- Fits all standard 4/6mm CO2 system components
- Easy to trim to desired length for cleaner installation
- High-quality material prevents degradation under sustained CO2 pressure
Cons
- Material naturally hardens after prolonged exposure to CO2
- Requires periodic replacement to avoid leaks
- 3-meter length may require multiple purchases for larger multi-tank setups
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, measure the distance from your CO2 regulator to the diffuser, adding a small amount of slack to avoid tension on the connections. Use sharp scissors or a utility blade to cut the tube cleanly.
Compatibility: This tube works with standard 4/6mm connectors, check valves, and glass or plastic diffusers.
Care Instructions:
- Do not use harsh chemicals to clean the tube; simple warm water is sufficient.
- Periodically inspect the ends of the tube where it connects to your diffuser and regulator.
- If the hose feels stiff, brittle, or shows signs of cracking at the connection points, trim the end back or replace the section entirely.
- Replace the entire length every 12 to 18 months as part of your routine aquarium maintenance to ensure the material remains flexible and airtight.
