CO2 Bottle for aquarium and aquascaping

CO2 bottles and aquariums

Did you know that aquarium water almost always contains too little CO2? The aquatic plants in your aquarium absorb the small amount of residual CO2 that has not already been removed. There is usually far too little CO2 for your plants to thrive in optimal health. This is not a problem that occurs in nature where there's more than enough CO2. CO2 bottles are not needed there. Therefore, it is important to add extra CO2 to your water. This is what a CO2 set is for.

There are aquarium enthusiasts who think they're clever to ignore advice about CO2 bottles for their aquariums. Unfortunately we see such people in our online shop far too often. Two things that easily prove how important it is to have a good CO2 system are:

• Without a CO2 bottle and system, aquarium plants look unhealthy and pale.
• When insufficient attention is paid to the amount of CO2 in aquarium water, over time the water becomes dirty and cloudy.
  
  

So what are the obvious advantages of having a CO2 bottle for your aquarium?

• The plants in your aquarium look radiant and healthy.
• The fish swimming around in your aquarium do not show signs of ailments and appear fully healthy.
• There is no excessive algae growth in your aquarium.

How many CO2 bottles do I need for my aquarium?

Ultimately, there are several things that can help you decide how big a CO2 bottle you really need for your aquarium. Consider, for instance:

• How many plants there are in your aquarium.
• What plants are planted in your aquarium.
• The amount of other nutrients in your aquarium.
• The strength of the light above your aquarium.
  
  

According to the general rule, 30ppm (30 mg/l) CO2 is ideal for an aquarium. Depending on the other conditions, you can adjust the amount of CO2 in your tank.

Types of CO2 bottles

We sell various CO2 bottles in our online shop. The main difference between the bottles is the material they are made from, their volume and whether or not the bottles are refillable. It's also very easy and inexpensive to get your refillable bottles filled by us at the shop. You can also send your bottles back to us. We will then refill your CO2 bottles carefully and return them to you. The brand of your refillable bottles doesn't matter to us. The CO2 bottles that we sell for your aquarium come in different sizes. The bigger the bottle, the longer the contents will last. We have 500g and 750g CO2 bottles, as well as 6kg bottles. The bottle that suits your aquarium depends entirely on your needs and wants. Get in contact with us if you've got questions about this.

CO2 bottle accessories

As well as the CO2 bottle itself, it's also important to gather the right accessories. Consider, for instance:

• A high-pressure hose
• A bubble counter
• A glass diffuser
• A pressure regulator
• A Drop checker and drop liquid
  
  

You could also choose an entirely different system like a CO2 reactor. CO2 consumption is lower with a reactor and you have no distracting bubbles or diffusers in your aquarium. Do you want to be sure that you are ordering in all the supplies that you need? Then it might be a good idea to buy a complete aquascaper set. This way you can be confident that you'll be able to start work immediately.
