CO2 Generator; Sanders Floramat CO2 Aerosol Generator System & Jungle Plant Care CO2 Fizz Tab Systems |
 CO2 GENERATOR KITS SIMPLE AND ECONOMICAL WAYS TO ADD CO2 INTO YOUR PLANTED AQUARIUM! • Great for beginners • Simple set up • Both are effective for aquariums up to 40, sometimes even 60 gallons (as the need for more CO2 increases, often due to tank size, the frequency of filling the diffusion chamber will increase which is easily done at the push of a button for the Sanders or adding tablets more frequently for the Jungle unit). For larger aquariums two (or more) units would increase efficiency.

No problem if you skip a few days when you are out of town, however this is a very simple method of adding CO2 that is easy to ask someone “babysitting” your aquarium to perform, much easier than asking them to mix ingredients for a yeast based generator.• The choice of many Aquarium Maintenance Professionals for years; because it works!! Popular in Germany for years. • Superior (in simplicity) to similar price CO2 systems such as the Hagen • Low operating cost; on average the CO2 bottle needs replacement every 4-5 weeks in the non-air method and every 3-4 weeks with the air method. When one considerers their time worth something the Sanders CO2 Floramat is very economical to use (since this is easily the simplest and least time consuming CO2 system available) Further Floramat Information: Simple operation: [1] Connect diffusion bell to the carbon dioxide cylinder nipple by means of micro hose. [2] Remove red protection cap from the carbon dioxide cylinder. Underneath you will find the pressure lever. [3] Slightly press this lever down until the water level in the diffusion bell has reached the top of the ribbed part.  Operation with water circulation -air pump powered (this method will generally provide more CO2):[1] Connect air nipple with a tube to an air pump [2] Reduce air induction so that only a few bubbles rise through the return pipe (in the middle of the bell). [3] Set the air flow to your bubbles per minute to maintain desired CO2 level [4] You may need to clear the diffusion chamber every other day of trapped gasses so as to allow only pure CO2. Click pictures to enlarge  Operation without water circulation (my preferred method). This method is more simple, although it generally adds less CO2, it has been generally adequate for my purposes.[1] Take the base off the diffusion chamber [2] Make sure there is water movement around the base of the diffusion bell so that water saturated with CO2 in the diffusion bell is removed continuously. I use the direction of an internal power head to achieve this however circulation with a nearby air stone can also achieve this. [3] After a few days, the air in the chamber will often get diluted and I recommend to simply to add extra CO2 into the diffusion chamber so as to “blow out” the air mixture and render the diffusion chamber with pure CO2. Personally I perform this every morning. With both methods, I recommend filling the chamber in the morning (the air pump method may need an additional charge during the day). Even if you run out of CO2 during the day you generally get enough hours of CO2 for good plant growth and one of the best selling aspects of the CO2 unit over yeast based generators is that most of the time there is no CO2 added at night when you do NOT want CO2 added to your aquarium Further Tips/Suggestions: For simple operation with less fuss, I recommend the method without an air pump. This method basically entails adding CO2 as little as once per day (sometimes 3 times per day during higher use) and few adjustments if any after initial set up. The main initial adjustment is adding the proper ‘jet’ or flow of water nearby the bottom of the bell to allow mixing of the CO2 rich air and the aquarium water. It is important to “blow out” some gas each time you add more CO2 by pushing the refill trigger until a bubble of air emerges from the bell. The reason for this is that what may appear as CO2 in the bell gets diluted with other gasses (such as oxygen or nitrogen), so blowing out “air” with each refill of the bell keeps the CO2 more pure for better results. I will also note that even if you cannot always add CO2 during the day (as many persons cannot due to being at work or other more important obligations than their aquarium), the Floramat generator will still add CO2, just not as much if your aquarium uses CO2 quickly. I simply ask my clients (or myself) to add more CO2 during the day when possible and not stress over not being able to all the time. Your plant growth will obviously be better when your bell is constantly fully charged, however most plants will be fine when you cannot maximize the CO2 in the bell regularly during the day in high CO2 use aquarium applications. For more accelerated plant growth, the air pump method will add more CO2 to the aquarium and adds a basic bubble counter to your system. However this method takes daily air adjustments (you should have an air flow valve to control air flow with this method so as to slow the bubbles to a very low rate). I recommend starting off at a rate of 10-20 bubbles per minute. This method also entails the addition of more frequent CO2 injections. Although this said the work load is no more than a yeast based CO2 unit and the results are very good! As noted earlier, with either method; the air in the chamber will often get diluted and I recommend to simply turn your diffusion bell upside down under water, you will find your diffusion improve immediately after this! Again I will note that I prefer the simple method best as it has met my plant CO2 needs adequately. Since I (and many others in the Aquarium Maintenance profession) are not around all the time to make adjustment, the more simple method is what is used more often by Aquarium service persons where the customer only has to add CO2 when feeding the fish in the morning.
