Rotala Co2 cylinder

A high-quality product designed for supplying carbon dioxide (CO₂) to aquariums.

It is the most important element of the CO2 kit – without it, it is practically impossible to apply CO2 to the aquarium.

CO₂ supplementation is crucial in running a planted aquarium, as it ensures healthy and proper plant growth. If we want them to thrive, it is worth getting a CO₂ cylinder.

In addition, the CO₂ cylinder can be used to stabilize and precisely control the pH level in the aquarium using a pH computer, which allows you to create optimal conditions for aquarium animals.

The cylinder is equipped with a removable body, which makes it easier to carry and also serves a protective function, preventing damage in the event of a fall.

Additionally, it has an elegant sticker with a description in Polish and English and an EAN code.

The CO2 cylinders we sell are already filled with gas, so there is no need to fill them yourself.

We recommend 2 L cylinders for aquariums up to 100 L in size.

We recommend 5 L cylinders for aquariums larger than 100 L, as this will allow us to avoid frequent refilling. The larger the aquarium, the more CO2 needs to be added for it to dissolve properly in the water and thus be used by plants or to stabilize the pH in the aquarium.

To create a basic Co2 kit, we will need the following components:

– CO2 cylinders

– CO2 reducer, which allows us to regulate the amount of gas supplied from the cylinder

– Dedicated high-pressure PU hose, we recommend a minimum of 2–3 meters (better to take more than less)

– CO2 diffuser: this is an important component of a CO2 system, as it breaks down gas bubbles into much smaller ones, thereby eliminating losses associated with the solubility of gas in water.

– CO2 indicator with indicator fluid. A must-have when administering CO2. It allows you to determine and continuously monitor the amount of CO2 in water. This allows us to determine whether we are supplying the appropriate amount of CO2 to the aquarium. Thanks to this, we can also avoid the so-called fish suffocation (too much CO2 in the water) or increase the amount of CO2 supplied if there is not enough of it. This is usually indicated by colors: yellow – too much, green – adequate level, blue – too little.

Optionally, we recommend the following for the above set:

– Bubble counter – thanks to this, we can precisely set and determine the amount that is to be released from the cylinder into the aquarium.

– Precision valve – much more accurate than a CO2 regulator, allowing for more precise adjustment of the amount of gas supplied from the cylinder to the aquarium.

All of the components we have listed are available for purchase in our store. If you would like to purchase a ready-made Co2 kit, please refer to our other auctions, where we have also prepared such kits.
