Different ways of
providing CO₂.
CO₂ is key to achieving fantastic plant growth! Whatever system you prefer—CO₂ injection or additives—Colombo offers the perfect solution for your aquarium, from disposable cylinders in several sizes or refillable DIY systems to CO₂ additives like FloraGrow Carbo. There are two primary methods for introducing CO₂ into your aquarium. Discover the various options Colombo provides to ensure your plants receive the CO₂ they need:
Injecting CO₂ gas
You can add CO₂ by injecting CO₂ gas, which is most effective. CO₂ gas is injected by using pressurized cylinders, which can be refillable or disposable.
Adding liquid CO₂ additives
CO₂ can also be added using liquid carbon sources like FloraGrow Carbo. FloraGrow Carbo contains a substance that acts as a CO₂ substitute, making it ideal for aquariums without a CO₂ system. By adding FloraGrow Carbo, plants can readily absorb this alternative carbon source, eliminating the need for CO₂ injection.
Disposable CO₂ systems
Colombo provides a range of disposable CO₂ cylinders in different sizes, from 12 grams to 1200 grams, like the Profi-cylinder sets. Our aluminum cylinders are fully recyclable and eliminate the need to find a refill station.
Do-It-Yourself CO₂ systems
If you want to inject CO₂ without refilling bottles or buying disposable cylinders, our Do-It-Yourself CO₂ system, the Colombo CO₂ Reactor, is the perfect solution. With this set, you can make your own CO₂ using two components. Our system uses acid-bicarbonate components, which are superior to systems using yeast-sugar methods. Yeast-sugar systems are inconsistent and difficult to regulate. Our system, with acid-bicarbonate ingredients, provides a consistent and controllable CO₂ supply for reliable CO₂ production.
What do plants require
for optimal growth?
For optimal plant growth, 3 factors must be in balance: light, nutrition and CO₂. The factor which is least available in the trinity will restrict plant growth and thus create scope for algae growth.
