Can soil be used in the aquarium as a filter medium for an undergravel filter?
The JBL PROSCAPE SOIL varieties are small balls of baked earth. JBL PROSCAPE PLANT SOIL has nutrients mixed inside and this is why its use as an undergravel filter creates a strong flow through the soil. This in turn intensively flushes the nutrients from the soil, leading to a larger quantity than the plants usually need and thus a surplus. The running time is greatly reduced. The bigger problem is the durability of the firing when it is being used as a filter medium for the undergravel filter. The friction and flow subjects the beads to greater wear and tear. As a result, the constant abrasion creates a kind of sludge that causes the filter performance to decrease rapidly. Classic substrate types that allow sufficient water flow are suitable for this type of filtration.

Does the use of bubble stones and a strong current expel the important plant nutrient, CO2, from the water?
During aeration and/or when there is a strong current, a gas equilibrium is achieved between the ambient air and the water. As a result a corresponding but very low CO2 content occurs too. BUT this low CO2 content is far too low to for most aquarium plants to thrive. The aquarium owner is therefore dependent on an additional CO2 supply by a CO2 fertiliser system. The higher CO2 content this achieves is reduced or, as commonly referred to in aquatics, expelled by the aeration and strong current. Therefore well planted aquariums should only be slightly aerated at night, if required.

How can I remove the hose from the device?
At first the air hoses and special CO2 hoses can easily be pushed on the connection piece. The hoses harden more and more as the months go on and can only be removed from the connection piece using great force. If you pull the hose hard it will only strain the connection, which could, in the worst case, even break off. Instead cut the hoses you want to remove laterally at the ends and carefully remove them. For this it’s always advisable to install hoses with some reserve in its hose length.
