Dennerle Carbo Soda M200 is a CO2 plant fertilization system with a reusable cylinder. CO2 (carbon dioxide) is the most important nutrient for lush, healthy aquarium plants. By using one of these systems alone, you will see marked improvement in plant growth and health. Comes complete with pressure reducer, diffusor, CO2 cylinder, cylinder stand, check valve and hose. For aquariums up to 200L.
CO? fertilization is an invention from nature!
All plants need carbon dioxide (CO?) to grow and to live. They use sunlight, water, and CO? to create energy (in the form of sugar) and oxygen, which all animals need to breathe. This process, known as photosynthesis, is the basis of all life on Earth.
Aquarium water almost always contains too little CO?. Even in tap water natural CO? is removed at the water works as a result of aeration. The undesirable algae stand next to no chance in aquaria in which aquatic plants are flourishing. Plants immediately "vacuum up" all the nutrients that promote algae growth, such as phosphates and nitrates. However, if there is a lack of CO?, plant growth is inhibited. Excess nutrients are no longer used quickly enough, and the algae take hold.
Good planting and regular CO? fertilisation are therefore among the most important measures in preventing algae. As experienced aquarists know, the oxygen produced by the plants, their lush plant growth also helps the fish to thrive!
Dennerle Carbo Soda M200 CO? Set contains:
• 425g reusable CO? cylinder (compatible with widely available Soda Stream cylinders).
• Safe stand for CO? cylinder.
• Dynamic Valve Control (DVC) CO? precision pressure reducer made from milled aluminium for a constant supply of CO?.
• Special CO? check valve.
• Special CO? hose x 2m.
• CO? diffuser Ultra M.
A solenoid valve not included with this set.
Tips:
• To monitor your CO? levels, it is best to place a Dennerle CO2 Long-Term Test Correct + pH (MC323) in your aquarium.
• Use in conjunction with a plant fertilizer such as Dennerle Plant Elixier.
• It is best to get a second cylinder to maintain consistent CO? supply whilst the first cylinder is away being refilled.
• Adding a solenoid valve is a good idea. It can be installed to switch the CO? supply off with the aquarium lighting (CO? is not required at night).
