Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the system, attach the pressure regulator to the 500g cylinder, ensuring all seals are secure. Connect the CO2-resistant hose to the regulator outlet and run it to the diffuser submerged in your tank. Always install the non-return valve between the diffuser and the regulator to prevent water back-flow.
For ongoing care, check the CO2 cylinder pressure periodically using the regulator gauge. If you decide to move to a larger aquarium or desire more automation, you can purchase the JBL solenoid valve separately to turn off gas injection during the night when plants do not require CO2. Always replace the CO2 test reagent in your monitor kit every few months to ensure accurate readings.
