CO₂

CO2 cylinder

co2

Used for: Planted tanks, CO2 injection

Description

A pressurised CO2 cylinder supplies gas to an aquarium regulator and injection system. Choose a disposable or refillable system according to the available space and local refill or exchange arrangements. Check the actual cylinder’s specification before selecting a regulator. Match the cylinder valve to the regulator connection. Disposable and reusable cylinders can use different threads and require the appropriate accessories. CGA320, used by CO2Art’s North American regulator, is one connection type rather than a standard shared by every cylinder. Install and handle the cylinder according to its manufacturer’s directions and refill-provider requirements. Keep it upright and away from heat, use the specified fittings, and avoid modifying its valve or regulator. Allow access for removal and refilling.
