Why does my aquarium need CO2?

fertilization - Invented by nature
All plants need carbon dioxide (CO2) in order to grow and survive. They produce their most important building material - sugar - from CO2, water and light. All animals require oxygen, which occurs as a "waste product", in order to breathe. This process which is known as photosynthesis is the basis for all life on our planet. Aquatic plants use the CO2 which is dissolved in water. A constant supply of CO2 is forthcoming from the thick bed of mud which is usually to be found in natural waters. It is produced in large quantities here as a result of bacterial degradation processes. The strong and healthy plants which exist in nature are the result of this rich supply. And lush plant growth supplies sh with oxygen while also offering them places to hide and spawn.

Magnicent plants, healthy sh with CO2!

Aquarium water is nearly always decient in CO2. Natural CO2 has already been removed from the water which ows out of our taps at the waterworks, by means of aeration. The aquatic plants hungrily devour the minimal quantities which exist in the aquarium. The available supply is usually insufcient. As a result, stems and leaves appear weak and pale, with no sign of growing power. The plants resistance is weakened, algae settle on the leaves. In contrast to natural environments, the natural source of supply is lacking in aquaria. But who wants a centimetres-thick layer of sludge consisting of dead leaves, sh excrement and food residues in their aquarium?

Without CO2!

With CO2!

CO2 deciency has serious consequences

Stunted and crooked growth Sudden plant death Lime deposits on leaves Much too high, unnatural pH values This results in stress for sh and an increased susceptibility to disease Iron and trace element deciency Sudden ammonia poisoning Algae infestations Part of the CO2 which dissolves in water forms carbonic acid. This means that CO2 can be used to lower the pH value (acid content) of the aquarium water slightly, to levels similar to those which prevail in nature. Aquarium sh are particularly fond of slightly acidic water. It has a positive effect on their sensitive skin. Trace elements which are important for plants and sh are taken in more effectively, as they are more readily soluble in the slightly acidic pH range. Unsightly lime deposits are avoided on plant leaves ("biogenic decalcication").

CO2 fertilization has many other advantages

required supply of CO2 depends on the How much CO2 The type of aquarium does my Higher requirement Lower requirement aquarium need? Higher requirement Lower requirement
Large aquarium Open aquarium Large surface area/ volume ratio Plenty of light Many plants Fast-running lter High level of water movement Additional aeration Small aquarium Covered aquarium Small surface area/ volume ratio Minimal light Few plants Slow-running lter Low level of water movement Without aeration

TIP

Good plant growth = no algae

In aquaria with ourishing aquatic plants, troublesome algae have practically no chance. Nutrients conducive to algae growth, such as phosphates and nitrates, are "absorbed" immediately by the plants. Plant growth starts to ag when CO2 is lacking, however. Surplus nutrients are no longer consumed quickly enough and algae are able to ourish. Thats why a good stock of plants and regular CO2 fertilization are among the most important measures to prevent algae.

Which is the right CO2 system for me?

Various systems are available to supply an aquarium with CO2. These differ with regard to the source of CO2. There are two basic categories of system: 1. Bio CO2 systems: Here the CO2 is generated by means of yeast fermentation, and 2. CO2 systems with liqueed gas, which come in disposable and reusable variants

Dennerle offers complete sets and accessories for all systems

BIO-CO2 the simple means of CO2 fertilization

CO2 production on the basis of controlled and constant yeast fermentation. Ideal for all those who are unfamiliar with CO2 fertilization and anyone wishing to try the method out. After only a few weeks of CO2 fertilization, the results become evident: Plant growth improves substantially, the plants appear greener, stronger and display greater vitality. The whole aquarium is brought to life.

DISPOSABLE system
the practical means of CO2 fertilization

CO2 supply by means of liqueed gas in a recyclable disposable cylinder. Ideal whenever replenishing CO2 cylinders is awkward or the nearest CO2 lling service is far away.

REUSABLE system
the sustainable means of CO2 fertilization

CO2 supply by means of liqueed gas in a rellable, reusable cylinder. Particularly suitable for very large aquaria and aquaria with a high CO2 requirement. Dennerle offers reusable cylinders of up to 2 kg for such applications.

CO2 sets
for nano aquaria

Even the smallest aquaria need CO2. Dennerle offers solutions here which are tailored specically to the requirements of mini aquaria.

How do CO2 systems work? - Bio-CO2

What is needed in order to set up a CO2 supply for an aquarium? The essential mode of functioning: A solution containing sugar is fermented in a fermentation container by means of yeast. CO2 is produced as a by-product of this fermentation process. This CO2 is conveyed via a CO2 hose to the bubble counter, then on to the diffusor and into the aquarium. This method of CO2 supply is only suitable for aquaria with a volume of up to approx. 120 litres, however.

Info
Uniform CO2 production with CO2 control gel. A fermentation process with pure sugar normally begins at a very fast pace, only to drop away substantially after just a few days. As a result, the aquarium receives too much CO2 at the beginning, and too little shortly after. In contrast, Dennerle Bio CO2 with CO2 control gel produces a virtually constant level of CO2 continuously for over 30 days, that is, for more than a month! Each CO2 bottle produces well over 300,000 CO2 bubbles. This assures your aquarium of an ideal supply of CO2 every day. Nothing needs to be set or measured. The ultimate in simplicity and convenience.

TIP
The trick with the thermo container Bio CO2 systems produce more CO2, the warmer it is. The thermo container in the Dennerle CO2 Plant Fertilizer Set Bio 120 adapts CO2 production automatically to the aquarium temperature. Aquaria with a higher temperature also have a higher CO2 requirement.

How do CO2 systems work? - Liqueed gas

What is needed in order to set up a CO2 supply for an aquarium?
A liqueed gas CO2 system essentially comprises CO2 cylinder pressure reducer CO2 hose check valve CO2 diffusor

Additional accessories are available for monitoring and automatic control of the amount of CO2 supplied

1 The CO2 cylinder

The CO2 cylinder may take the form of a disposable cylinder for nano aquaria a practical and convenient disposable Dennerle CO2 cylinder or the classic rellable, reusable CO2 cylinder.

2 The pressure reducer

This is the core element of every CO2 fertilizer system. The pressure reducer determines how simply and accurately the desired amount of CO2 to be supplied - the number of CO2 bubbles - can be set and how consistently and reliably the system will run in the long term.

The special Softex CO2 hose from Dennerle prevents the CO2 losses which are typical of conventional hoses.

4 The check valve

The special CO2 check valve provides all connected CO2 devices (e.g. pressure reducer, solenoid valve) with reliable protection from corrosion caused by backowing water. Setting the right amount of CO2 is childs play with the CO2 bubble counter Exact.

5 The bubble counter

6 The diffusor

...ensures that the CO2 is dissolved quickly and effectively in the aquarium. Because plants can only use the CO2 when it is dissolved in the water. The Dennerle Flipper is one of the most effective diffusors, as the CO2 bubbles pass through a multi-stage system here, ensuring that they have plenty of time to dissolve in the water. The Flipper additionally features an integrated bubble-counting function and an automatic waste gas vent.

Info
Waste gas vent Every time a CO2 bubble dissolves in the water, it is penetrated by other gases (e.g. nitrogen) which are naturally present in the aquarium water in dissolved form. Consequently, all Dennerle CO2 diffusors feature a waste gas vent, designed in each case for the system concerned. Here the waste gases are separated from the substantially heavier CO2 and discharged automatically at regular intervals. This effectively prevents the equipment from becoming "choked up" with waste gas. As a result, Dennerle CO2 diffusors operate highly effectively. The best possible use is made of the valuable CO2.

7 Accessories for monitoring CO2

The CO2 long-term test Correct offers the simplest means of CO2 monitoring. A "green" reading indicates that the level of CO2 in the aquarium water is ideal.

8 Accessories for saving CO2

For disposable and reusable systems, the Dennerle CO2 solenoid valve provides the option of shutting down the supply of CO2 at night by means of a time switch, as plants do not consume any CO2 at night. This saves valuable CO2.

9 Accessories for fully automatic CO2 monitoring and control

The Evolution DeLuxe pH controller is available from Dennerle for high-tech aquarium enthusiasts. This controller continuously measures the pH value in the aquarium and controls the necessary supply of CO2 fully automatically. It supplies just enough CO2 to maintain the set level at all times.

Why is a good pressure reducer so important?

Reliable and ical econom
The latest generation of Dennerle pressure reducers
Precision and safety
The tiny quantities of CO2 involved in fertilizing plants call for extremely precise dosing. Dennerle's newly developed pressure reducers of the Evolution range, comprising Primus, Quantum and Space, offer cutting-edge technology here. Apart from featuring totally new materials which allow for a more precise production process, the pressure reducers also operate according to a new mode of functioning.

The key feature common to all variants is the innovative Dynamic Valve Control (DVC) technology. This carefully coordinated system of pistons, springs, bores, pressure compensation chambers and valves offers two crucial advantages: 1. The pressure reducers can be adjusted with unprecedented ease and precision by means of a single setting knob. 2. Once set, the supplied quantity of CO2 (number of bubbles) remains stable over a long period. Safety aspects have also received full consideration, with all pressure reducers featuring an automatic pressure relief device and a safety vent.

What CO2 diffusers are available?

Virtually all Dennerle CO2 system components are based on in-house developments drawing on practical experience to meet practical needs. Every device has been tested in extensive test series and developed in line with the special conditions which prevail in aquaria. Dennerle is able to draw on decades of experience in this eld. As a result, Dennerle CO2 components meet the very highest standards with regard to functionality, efciency, quality of materials and service life. Various diffusors are available for the most diverse applications and requirements. The available options and areas of use are described below.

Info

Maximum efciency: The CO2 Flippers

Highly effective, compact CO2 diffusors. With CO2 collector and waste gas vent. No motor required. Mode of functioning: The CO2 supplied by the CO2 fertilizer system is released from the opening at the bottom of the Flipper. The CO2 bubbles then rise slowly along the channels in the Flipper. As the bubbles rise, the CO2 dissolves in the aquarium water - the bubbles thus become smaller as they progress towards the surface of the water. Waste gases are separated from any residual CO2 in the collector and discharged automatically.

CO2 Nano-Flipper
For aquaria of up to 40 litres

CO2 Micro-Flipper
For aquaria of up to 80 litres

CO2 Mini-Flipper
For aquaria of up to 160 litres

CO2 Flipper
For aquaria of up to 300 litres

CO2 Maxi-Flipper
For aquaria of up to 600 litres

Even when using CO2 diffusors with an integrated bubble counter, it is nevertheless extremely practical to install an additional bubble counter close to the pressure reducer. This enables the number of bubbles to be set more simply, quickly and exactly. A separate bubble counter is urgently recommended when using CO2 diffusers without a built-in bubble counter and diffusors which are hidden behind plants or rocks in the aquarium.

Info

16

Why do I need a bubble counter?

Continuous, direct control of the CO2 supply level
The CO2 supply rate is measured in terms of the number of bubbles per minute. The Dennerle CO2 bubble counter Exact provides a simple and convenient means of setting the number of bubbles. It can be turned in the mounting bracket for optimum alignment. The white reector bracket enables precise counting of the bubbles even in poor light conditions - e.g. in the base cabinet. Hose connectors with screw ttings prevent CO2 leaks.

CO2 bubble counter Exact

Info
Rule of thumb for basic setting of the number of bubbles: 10 bubbles per minute per 100 l of aquarium water. Example - 200 l aquarium: 2 x 10 = 20 bubbles per minute. If the Dennerle CO2 long-term test displays "green", the supply of CO2 is exactly right. If not: Increase the number of bubbles in small daily steps until the desired level of CO2 is attained.

TIP
The bubble counter should ideally be installed in the direct vicinity of the pressure reducer. This has the advantage that any changes to the CO2 supply level will become visible on the bubble counter immediately. To this end, the Dennerle CO2 bubble counter Exact is supplied with a strap - for direct attachment to the CO2 cylinder!

Why do I need a check valve?

It reliably protects CO2 units from backowing water
CO2 is a special gas which has quite different physical properties to air. Dennerle has thus developed a special check valve for operation with CO2. The core element is a special permanently elastic, CO2proof membrane. It is tted under tension, in rm contact with sealing rims. 2 hose connectors with screw ttings ensure CO2-proof connection.

Special CO2 check valve

TIP
Install the special CO2 check valve as closely as possible to the pressure reducer / the CO2 solenoid valve - ideally at a distance of 5 to 10 cm. It is then easier to set the number of CO2 bubbles, as every adjustment of the supply quantity is immediately recognisable on the bubble counter. Closure of the CO2 solenoid valve is also immediately evident.

17

Why are special CO2 hoses necessary?

CO2 simply seeps through many hose materials. The special Softex CO2 hose from Dennerle consists of a special CO2-proof plastic to ensure that valuable CO2 arrives where it is needed - in the aquarium. The hose is able to withstand pressures of up to 7 bar and is highly exible to facilitate installation.

Softex is many times more leak-proof than conventional materials

Hose type Special Softex CO2 hose Standard PVC air hose Silicone hose Annual leakages several grams several 100 grams several 1000 grams

Special Softex CO2 hose Reliable protection from CO2 leaks.

Info

Why do backows of water occur in CO2 hoses?

Figuratively speaking, CO2 is instinctively "driven" to dissolve in water whenever the opportunity arises. In the event of an interruption in the supply of CO2 to the aquarium (CO2 cylinder empty, cylinder valve closed, CO2 solenoid valve active, etc.), the CO2 which is presently still in the hose will also dissolve in the aquarium water. This causes a vacuum in the CO2 hose, drawing aquarium water into the hose. The special CO2 check valve from Dennerle reliably protects your valuable items of CO2 equipment such as the pressure reducer, CO2 cylinder and CO2 solenoid valve, etc. from backowing water.

18

How can I monitor the CO2 content in my aquarium water?

Keeping tabs on CO2 at all times!
For the continuous, exact control of CO2 content in the aquarium
CO2 long-term test Correct + pH The CO2 long-term test Correct +pH provides a simple and reliable means of setting the required rate of CO2 supply. The colouring of the special CO2 indicator varies according to the CO2 content from blue = not enough CO2 through green = CO2 content ideal to yellow = too much CO2. Complete set with test container, special CO2 indicator and sixcolour matching scale. The CO2 long-term test Correct even allows you to monitor the pH value in your aquarium at the same time! Simply measure the carbonate hardness and read the pH value from the colour matching scale.

Info
How CO2, carbonate hardness and pH value are related Adding CO2 acidies the aquarium water slightly, lowering the pH value. This means that the pH value needs to be watched, to ensure that it does not drop too low. A three-way interrelationship exists between CO2 content, carbonate hardness and pH value. This enables the CO2 content in the water to be calculated on the basis of the measured carbonate hardness and the measured pH value. These measurements, in particular the measured pH value, must be very accurate, however, as the results will otherwise be unusable. Special CO2 indicator for particularly simple and accurate CO2 control Conventional long-term CO2 tests are lled with a mixture of aquarium water and indicator. This involves various disadvantages, one being that the acids which are present in all aquarium waters (e.g. humic acids, nitrate) can distort test results substantially. The Dennerle CO2 long-term test Correct employs a ready-to-use special CO2 indicator which is used on its own, rather than in a mixture with aquarium water. This offers the following key advantages: The CO2 long-term test Correct measures the CO2 content and indicates the actual CO2 content correctly at all times - irrespective of any other acids in the aquarium water. Simplicity: No additional measurement of carbonate hardness is necessary. Only a single colour-matching scale is required. Accuracy: The CO2 long-term test Correct allows direct determination of the CO2 content in milligrams per litre. The test is equally efcient at low carbonate hardness levels. Safety:

19

pH controller Evolution Deluxe

TIP
For magnicent plant growth, Dennerle recommends a CO2 content in the aquarium of approx. 20 mg/l. The correlation between CO2 content, carbonate hardness (CH) and pH value enables the CO2 content in the water to be calculated according to a simple procedure: Measure the carbonate hardness of your aquarium water. Read the pH value which corresponds to the desired CO2 content from the table. You should set this pH value +/- 0.1 by adjusting the number of bubbles accordingly. Example: Carbonate hardness 4 d, recommended pH 6.8. The procedure is even simpler with the Dennerle CO2 long-term test Correct + pH.
