It has to be vertical of you want to use the bouble counter. Sent from my Lenovo K53a48 using Tapatalk

That's correct. So I don't have to unscrew anything to refill the co2 bottle or the bouble counter But be careful you have to use this specific tube or something similar - not silicone, or else the connector won't work correctly. Sent from my Lenovo K53a48 using Tapatalk

That's right, with 1 kg of co2 I get 3 months running on my 60lt Sent from my Lenovo K53a48 using Tapatalk

And because it is always likely that the co2 connection might broke if you want to disassemble or refill the water for the bubble counter, you can try this: https://www.co2art.co.uk/collections/connectors-adapters/products/easy-push-in-aquarium-air-co2-valve-connector-6mm-to-6mm With this...

Exactly. Also after trying several inline diffusers, JBL is by far the most quality one Sent from my Lenovo K53a48 using Tapatalk

Personally yes. Co2 is being disolved much better and more efficient. Plus the outflow of the filter distributes it all over. And is much easier to clean it. It almost requires no cleaning as the water going through is almost clean. The classic diffuser might also get algae because they are...

Hi there, I got mine about a year ago. No leaks at all and very very small bubbles inside the tank comparing to other diffusers. Also I didn't notice any reduction in flow either to my Tetra EX700 or my ASTRO 2210 external filter. I use the diffuser in the outflow of the filter among with the...

Any way to check CO2 levels when using Excel?

Hi, thank you all for your replies. Is it ok to plant a few branches of Egeria Densa? I will also add a Nerite Snail. If i do a black out will my Monte Carlo survive?

Hi, thank you for your advice. Any advice about the brown algae between the substrate and the glass? The drop cheker is to check the CO2 levels because i use te Excel as liquid CO2. When i calculate CO2 levels by PH and KH levels seem ok even though the colour in the cheker shows the opposite...
