JBL Bio Co2 100

[hali317]

Hi

Just bought the a/m kit for my planted tank. Does anyone have any experience with it. The instructions given are not very clear.

here are my questions:
1. Are u supposed to shake the bottle after mixing the components?
2. Is it supposed to last for 45 days without adding any of component 2 (the silver satchet)?
3. Am I supposed to shake the bottle every 2-3 days as suggested for DIY CO2?
4. Should i attach the other end to a diffuser or is an air-stone more than sufficient?

Thanks 4 any advice!

Your best bet is to call Keong Seong if not perhaps the JBL website?

Have checked the JBL website but no useful info. Anyone else?

this thing is just a yeast + sodium bicarbonate(stabiliser) + sugar CO2 generator.

you'll be better off learning all the various formulations for diy co2 and the science behind it. the equipment is just a handy and neater than (a pepsi bottle and blue tack)

1. shake the bottle to mix the component.
2. component 2 should be added if not co2 will not produce.
3. try not to shake the solution
4. don't use an air stone. it will crumble after a while. Use either a diffuser or reactor.
