CO₂ system

CO₂ is the scientific formula for carbon dioxide and contains the most important nutrient for our aquarium plants - carbon. Already 30 years ago it was known that lasting healthy plant growth and a great plant variety in the aquarium was only possible if adequate quantities of CO₂ were added to the aquarium. By adding CO₂ one could also kill two birds with one stone, since CO₂ also fulfils an important double-function in the aquarium. It fertilises plants with CO₂, ensuring magnificent plant growth (healthy plants return the favour by providing fish with essential oxygen), but the addition of CO₂ can also be used to adjust the pH in the aquarium to a range that is ideal for ornamental fish.
