CO2 Equipment

CO2 diffusers optimize the diffusion of CO2 in aquarium water for reduce wastage of CO2 and increase absorption by plants. The porous membrane "breaks" the CO2 into tiny bubbles as the gas passes through it. 

Nano diffusers are ideal for smaller sized tanks. Available in 3 sizes.

It is common for large bubbles to form and escape from the edge of the diffuser membrane right after installation but they will stop after 24 hours. Alternatively soak the membrane in water overnight before installation.

Caution

• A minimum of 30 psi working pressure is required to diffuse CO2 through these atomizers.
• Must be used with CO2 pressure rated tubing only, not silicone tubing. Tubing must be acid resistant and rated for high working pressure.
• Do not use with bubble counter fluid or other bubble counter oils. Use water instead to avoid contamination of diffuser.

Specifications

Drop checkers are used to monitor the CO2 levels in the aquarium: the pH indicator solution inside the bulb section will change color according to the amount of CO2 dissolved in the aquarium water. 

The drop checker is the best tool to monitor CO2 levels continuously. With some practice and experience it can be a precise tool to measure the amount of CO2 dissolved.

IMPORTANT: You will also need a Drop Checker Reagent (sold separately) to use this item.

Chihiros new CO2 regulator for CGA320 CO2 tanks. 

Assembled with solenoid to connect to timer or PH4 to control CO2 timing. Fine adjustment screw allows precision control over amount of CO2 released. 

This product is NOT compatible with CO2 small cartridge or Paintball CO2 cylinders.

The porous membrane "breaks" the CO2 into tiny bubbles as the gas passes through it. Inline atomizer diffusers are installed in the filter outlet pipe for canister filters and reduces clutter in aquarium.

When CO2 regulator is not on, water will seep through the diffuser and travel down the pipeline. CO2 check valves prevent water from reaching the CO2 regulator.

Attach it inline on the CO2 pipe with the arrow aligning to the direction of CO2 flow. Place it as close to the diffuser as possible without it touching water. Replace check valves every year for optimum CO2 flow.

Bubble counters are used to measure the rate at which CO2 injected into planted aquarium. Inline counter allows the flexibility of attaching it anywhere along the CO2 pipe where it is easy to view. Simply fill up half of the counter with water and attach it to the CO2 pipeline where it can stay vertically.

The bubble counter has a check valve built in, so no additional check valves are required to block water from getting back to the soleniod or regulator.

CO2 drop checker reagent is a 4dKH bromothymol blue solution ready to be used for continuously monitoring CO2 concentration in aquarium water. 30ppm of CO2 concentration is optimal for good aquarium plant growth without stressing out other inhabitants. 

Directions:

Fill up half of the bulb of the CO2 drop checker with the reagent. It is premixed with 4dKH solution and should be used without adding any other contents or water to it. Place the drop checker in contact to the tank water following directions that come with the drop checker. In a few hours the color of the reagent will change based on the CO2 concentration of the water.

Following the color chart provided on the bottle to determine CO2 concentration in the tank. Replace the reagent every 30 days.
