Product information

Nutrition for aquarium plants
Plants provide the aquarium with vital oxygen for the aquarium dwellers, prevent algae growth, remove pollutants, provide hiding places and reduce pathogens. The JBL plant fertiliser system supplies the plants with the main nutrient CO2 through the water. They absorb this through their leaves.

Easy to install
The system comes completely ready for connection. Screw the pressure reducer onto the CO2 storage cylinder. Connect the pressure reducer with the hose to the diffuser in the aquarium. The CO2 enters the aquarium and is dissolved in the water by the diffuser. The CO2 supply can be interrupted at night by adding a solenoid valve (not included).

Safe
The storage cylinder is TÜV tested and is equipped with an overpressure relief. Thanks to the check valve no water can enter the cylinder. The enclosed stand prevents the cylinder from falling over. The capacity of a CO2 system depends on various factors. The carbonate hardness, the quantity and species of the plants and the strength of the water surface movement are decisive. A 500 g cylinder which is not switched off by a solenoid valve during the night lasts with its default adjustment for about 4 months.

FAQ
Bluish discolouration despite increased CO2 supply

Owing to a production fault a green colour change may not occur with the batches 1000 and 1001, despite increased CO2 supply.

Should you have one of the above mentioned batches, you can request a new refill set free of charge upon presentation of the sales receipt and a photo of the batch number. Please contact our customer service under: https://www.jbl.de/support/

Is it bad if water runs into the bubble counter?

If water runs back into the bubble counter, that’s not a problem as long as the water is not drawn towards the night time shut-off from there. The excess water is normally pressed out of the system again during the day.

Why does the pH value jump in the display of the JBL ProFlora pH Control?

If the pH value is subject to greater fluctuation, this indicates a source of interference through another electronic device. Ballasts in light bars, for instance, create an electromagnetic field if they are not shielded against interference. This can disturb the sensitive sensor. When you unplug the power plug from the outlet the pH value suddenly stabilises. You can carry this process out with every electrical device in the aquarium to find the cause.

Through the use of separated power-carrying cables further disturbances can be avoided. Separating electrical circuits may also prove to be an advantage. The JBL pH controllers are manufactured and tested in accordance with DIN EN 55014-2 and do not interfere with other technical items. Thus wearers of pacemakers are not exposed to any danger through the JBL pH Control.

Should another technical item disturb your pH control, then it is not electromagnetically shielded according to this technical standard.

If the error still persists try removing the temperature sensor from the controller. If the value now remains stable, the temperature sensor may be defective.

JBL ProFlora m500: What is the range of a 500g CO2 cylinder?

There is no general answer to this question, as we do not know what the desired number of bubbles for your aquarium is. One bubble contains approx. 0.125 mg CO2, which corresponds to 4 million bubbles for a 500 g cylinder. At a consumption of 10 bubbles per minute (600 bubbles per hour), this corresponds to 6667 hours, which in turn corresponds to around 277 days or slightly longer than 9 months of unchanged CO2 supply.

Please note that this is a rough estimate and does not represent a guarantee about how many days you can actually get out of one compressed gas cylinder.

JBL pH-Control: When the appliance is connected and switched on, there is often a pulse-like formation of enormous bubbles at the CO2 - air stone, which can frighten the fish. After this it will revert to the bubble formation you set.

When the electromagnetic valve in the controller is switched off, the pressure in the entire system from the cylinder to the pressure reducer and the tubes and to the electromagnetic valve persists. When the valve is opened, the pressure in the system escapes first and then the system continues to operate as usual.

You can decrease / prevent this by reducing the operating pressure in your pressure reducer. In our new pressure reducers, this can be done with an Allen wrench under the black cover top.

Fertilization is not just fertilization Part 1

Unlike in natural waters, aquariums with fish mostly have a surplus of nutrients caused by feeding and the resulting fish excrement. Thus nitrates and phosphates in large (often too large!) quantities are available for the plants.

What are PUSH messages? As part of the W3C standard, web notifications define an API for end-user notifications that are sent to the user's desktop and/or mobile devices via the browser. Notifications appear on the end devices as they are familiar to the end user from apps installed on the device (e.g. emails).

To be able to send web push notifications, all you need is a website with a web push code installed. This allows brands without apps to take advantage of many of the benefits of push notifications (personalised real-time communications at just the right moment).
