Refill Kit contains: one set of reagent Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

Healthy aquarium/healthy pond with conditions close to nature
The right water values depend on the fish stock and the plants in the aquarium/pond. Even if the water looks clear it can be contaminated. With bad values diseases or algae can appear in the aquarium/pond. To maintain a healthy aquarium/pond with conditions close to nature it is important to check and adapt the water values regularly.

For each water analysis JBL provides water tests in the form of quick tests or colour change tests. These determine a certain value or several values in one go. With these water tests you can recognise algae problems and negative nitrate, nitrite, potassium, magnesium values etc.

Why test?

Carbon dioxide (CO2 ) is the most important plant nutrient. The consumption of CO2 differs from aquarium to aquarium and depends, amongst other things, on the following factors: number and demands of plants, carbonate hardness, water movement and light. Fertilisation with CO2 is usually done with a CO2 fertiliser system. In the aquarium water, a CO2 content between 15 and 30 mg / l is recommended. This range is safe for fish and at the same time ensures luxuriant plant growth. 20–25 mg/l CO2 has proven to be ideal. In special aquariums with a large number of plants, so-called scapes, higher values of up to 35 mg/l may be required. With this test you can determine the CO2 content of your aquarium water in mg/l and thus monitor the setting of your CO2 fertiliser system.
