JBL PROFLORA CO2 BASIC BIO SET

Aquarium Plant Nutrition
Plants provide the aquarium with oxygen, which is vital for its inhabitants, they prevent algae growth and eliminate problematic substances. The JBL fertilization system supplies plants with CO2, their main nutrient, through the water. The plants absorb it and, with the help of light, convert it into sugar and oxygen during photosynthesis.

Difference between biological CO2 systems and CO2 bottles: bio CO2 kits are based on a biological yeast fermentation process that produces CO2. Two biological components react in a reaction tank. For "refilling" after about 40 days, simply fill the reaction tank with water and the two components. In CO2 bottle kits, the CO2 gas available in the bottles is pressurized to about 60 bars. Once empty, they can be refilled (rechargeable bottles, M System) or, if they are single-use bottles (U System), replaced.

Plants do not care about the source of CO2, whether from a biological system or a bottle. They grow significantly better once a CO2 system is installed. These systems are quite important for the aquarist. Do they want disposable or rechargeable bottles, or a bio system without pressure?

In addition to CO2 fertilization, it is also important to pay attention to other components necessary for healthy aquarium plant growth: proper lighting (e.g., JBL LED SOLAR), sufficient fertilization with minerals and trace elements (JBL PROFLORA FERROPOL), ideally root fertilization in case of significant root development with JBL PROFLORA FERROPOL ROOT / The 7 pellets, the right water temperature (between 23 and 26 °C), and no plant-eating fish.
