Product Information
Full details
The JBL ProFlora CO2 Taifun Glass Midi is an essential tool for planted aquarium enthusiasts looking to boost plant growth through efficient carbon dioxide supplementation. Designed for aquariums between 40 and 300 litres, this diffuser utilizes a high-quality ceramic diaphragm to deliver fine CO2 bubbles for maximum dissolution, though users should be prepared for routine cleaning to keep the ceramic pores clear of biofilm and algae.

FAQs
Can I use this for a 350-litre tank?
The Taifun Glass Midi is rated for up to 300 litres. For a 350-litre tank, you may need a larger diffuser or multiple units to achieve the desired CO2 concentration.
How often should I clean the diffuser?
Clean as soon as you notice the bubbles getting larger or if the ceramic disc begins to look discolored or covered in algae.
Is the glass fragile?
Yes, it is high-quality laboratory-grade glass. Handle with care during installation and removal to prevent cracking.
Do I need a check valve?
Yes, always use a high-quality check valve between your CO2 regulator and the diffuser to prevent water from back-siphoning into your equipment.
What is the best way to soak it?
Submerge the entire unit in a container filled with the recommended cleaning solution (like JBL ProClean Power) diluted according to the instructions.
Troubleshooting
Bubbles are becoming large
The ceramic diaphragm is likely clogged with algae or bacteria. Soak in a cleaning solution for 24 hours.
No bubbles are appearing
Check the CO2 cylinder pressure, the needle valve, and ensure there are no kinks in the 4/6mm tubing.
Suction cup will not hold
Clean the aquarium glass with a razor or scrub pad to remove biofilm, then moisten the suction cup before re-attaching.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High dissolution efficiency due to fine bubble production
- Minimalist glass aesthetic is visually unobtrusive
- Easy installation with standard 4/6mm tubing
- Wide volume compatibility (40-300L)
Cons
- Glass material is fragile and requires careful handling
- Ceramic diaphragm can become clogged by algae or biofilm over time
- Requires chemical soaking for deep cleaning
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward: connect your CO2 line to the glass inlet using standard 4/6mm hose, then press the suction cup against the aquarium glass near the substrate level. To maintain effectiveness, monitor the bubbles for any change in size; larger bubbles indicate the ceramic disc is clogging. Clean the unit by soaking the entire glass piece in a cleaning agent like JBL ProClean Power for approximately 24 hours. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water before returning it to the tank to ensure no chemicals are introduced to your aquatic environment.
