HOW TO SETUP CO2 IN YOUR AQUARIUM | COMPREHENSIVE VIDEO

Welcome to Natquascape.
In this video, I will show you exactly what you need to setup an injected CO2 system for your planted aquarium. I will show how to set up in-tank and in-line CO2 setups. I have used many different types of CO2 systems and therefore, I will recommend which type of CO2 system I think is best.
Best wishes

Thank you so much for the comment, just a note, I removed the check valve after I set it up in the actual tank. In the demo I use a in tank co2 diffuser, having a check valve worked (and in the video) but when I put an in-line diffuser, I had to remove the check valve. You dont have to use the check valve actually as the bubble counter acts as a check valve. Hope this information helps

Moving from my 2-bottle DYI CO2 system to a steel canister tonight, and looking for a video that shows in-depth how the manifold and solenoid work. This fit the bill perfectly. Details like pointing out that the close position on the first valve is unscrewed all the way, direction of flow on the check valve, how to turn the system on -- all excellent. Now will be looking for an update on how to decompress the system when it's time to switch the fuel (citric acid and baking soda). In theory, easy, but... so much better to see it done!

@@Natquascape - Just a quick question please! I am a beginner in aquascaping, and I am planning to plant grass seeds in my 30G tank without CO2. Do you think the grass will be ok if I supply it with fertilizer and do 20% water change weekly? CO2 is a little bit intimidating for a beginner like me 😜. Thanks bro!

[@Natquascape]

@@deenugent473 Ah ha...now I have never used seeds before. However, if you are a beginner - I would just try it and see how it goes BUT....do it in a small, cheap experimental tank...don't go all out. I have seen that a dry start method is required for seeds. Once you see established growth then flood the tank....this is where you may get plant melting because the plant has to adapt from being out of water to in water. I would be more tempted to setup a scape with easy plants using no co2 and liquid ferts. Plants like helanthium tenelum green, styrogyne repens, rotala roudatifolia, java fern, bucephalandra and annubias first. Just to get some experience and handle on growing aquatic plants without co2. Then....once you are confortable....add co2 to that scape and see what difference it makes. My tip is cycle the tank FULLY for up to 4 weeks before draining and adding plants. Hope this helps

Great info. i have a diffusor in the outlet of my filter, but to eliminate bubbles I also let it flow through an extra filter, in my case the small Eheim Classic, without using the pump. The filter is filled with raw filtermaterial and pieces of egg crate. In this way the CO2 is completely aborbed. No bubbles.

Hi, I have been getting a few comments about using an inline check valve. I just checked my video and I am deffinately using a check valve made by jbl with the neo diffuser which worked well in the demonstration. I must have done this as a safety precaution and did not realise that the bubble counter also acts as a check valve. Having an extra check valve is no harm if it works, looks like my other check valves are not suitable for use with an inline co2 diffuser (works with in tank diffuser like the neo diffuser just fine). Hope this information helps. Hope this information helps.

[@kygaming216]

Very helpful and detailed video. A question though, Is it ok to use a sodastream cannister with that exact type of regulator? Thanks!

[@Natquascape]

Hi Ky, thanks for subscribing. Co2 art actually do adaptors so that you can use sodastream bottles, here is the link: www.co2art.co.uk/collections/co2-adapters

[@NORIaquaCh]

Good video, Natquascape! I highly recommend that you use mineral oil in your CO2 bubble counter (regular baby oil is the same substance). The problem with using water in the bubble counter is that it will evaporate. As CO2 is diffused through the water, it will 'pop' at the surface and take turn that water into an aerosol (or O2). This O2, along with CO2, will flow down and will exit at your CO2 diffuser. In most cases, you will find the bubble counter low (and most often, without) water within 1 to 2 weeks. The benefit of using mineral oil is it's viscosity. You will have a more realistic result (and representation) when measuring the 'bubbles per second'. In conjunction with your CO2 drop checker, the position of the CO2 diffuser adjacent to the outflow, you will have an optimal CO2 setup for your Nature Aquarium. I hope this helps!

[@Natquascape]

Hi, that's valuable advice....thank you very much I will check the manufacturer's instructions to see what they say about mineral oil. Thanks you

[@rikebbarwick3878]

Do NOT use mineral oil in the bubble counter, it clearly states on the packaging not use use Mineral water, ive also checked this with the guys at CO2 Art

Hi, I have also checked the manufacturers instructions and it clearly states not to use mineral oil. I know other people have but I would go by the manufacturers instructions

Hi, great vid. Really helped as i just bought that co2art model. So how do you purge excess co2 from that regulator when bottle is empt? ..cause i heard that excess co2 can blow the gauses.

[@florentpetillon4666]

Hello! I really enjoy all your video guys. I have a quick question. Is it good or bad to place the Co2 diffuser just next to the suction pipe of my external filter? I'm thinking like this the Co2 has more time to dissolve in the water before being injected back to the tank via the outlet pipe. But maybe the Co2 concentration will be too high for my beneficial bacteria inside my external filter. What are your thought about it ?

[@Zack.G23]

Can you put the reactor inline with a uv filter without killing the output flow? I have the fluval 407 on a 75 gal

[@bksmotherman]

Would it work to diffuse the c02 in the return section of my sump 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@billhickman6455]

I'm new to CO2 and I'm finding your information delivery very good. Curious about not using CO2-proof tubing on the output of the inline diffuser. Possibly because it is in the water return, diluting the CO2 concentration? Thank you!

[@Natquascape]

Hi, so any residual CO2 when reacted with water will turn to carbonic acid, which in time, could slowly degrade the tubing. I think the tubing will be full of co2 and water will react to give carbonic acid, the concentration of which I am not sure. The reason I did not use co2 resistant tubing is because I got fed up of it not fitting tight onto the inline diffuser outlet haha, silicon tubing just worked better

Great video, very informative thanks. Question, I have a 6ft (500 lt) tank that l want to install co2 with an inline diffuser, problem is my canister filter has large tubing, 22/28 roughly and l cant find any diffusers to suit so l would have to install reducers on each end of the tubing to make the 16/22 fit which of course would restrict the efficiency of the filter itself. Do you see this as a problem, should l just install an in tank diffuser? Cheers in advance.

[@Natquascape]

My advice would be inline co2 for 6foot to ensure co2 distribution. You would have to go for reduction adaptors my friend. I have had a look for larger inline diffusers and have failed to find any. I think you will be OK interms of filter performance.

Really good question. Really sorry but I would not know the answer to this if the tank is in Bahrain. Sorry I could not be much help my friend

[@RyanCamaratta]

Are all the co2art systems dual stage? I'm looking at the Pro-SE kit, is that the same one you use in this video?

[@Natquascape]

Hi, yes they are all dual stage mate. I am using the Pro SE kit in this video mate

Great video thanks. What size is your bottle please? Cheers

[@Natquascape]

Thank you, 1.5kg bottle

[@stevenb1021]

@@Natquascape much appreciated. I couldn’t find a local supplier that did refillable 2kg bottles due to the co2 shortage so instead I ordered a fire extinguisher :-). Cheers

[@marviin071]

That co2 bubble counter on de pro se series has already a integrated check valve in it so that check valve is not needed

[@Natquascape]

Yep! You can have it as an extra precautionary but your right, now needed. Cheers

[@robyvk]

I have one question, is the use of co2 dangerous for people, can the bottle release co2, explode or similar

[@lohjaycaincayden5544]

how much water do you have to put into the bubble counter

[@luvleroze123]

I have this huge 18 inch reactor someone have given me to hook up on my 60 gallon take. My question is: 1. Is it needed? If so how to hook it up to the Co2? 2. Can i find something much smaller instead? 3. Do they need to be filled with anything inide the 3 inch pipe, because the one i have is empty? I've seen some filled with blue or grayish pieces inside.

Nice video, I’m getting an inline. Should I open my co2 tank valve fully or just a bit? I see people who do both.

[@Natquascape]

I just open the front valve so that the working pressure is around 35, for inline co2. Hope that helps

[@uraninite8151]

@@Natquascape I dont have an adjustable reg so i cant adjust my working pressure. I was wondering whether i should open my main tank turn valve on the cylinder fully?

[@Natquascape]

@@uraninite8151 hi there, without fully knowing what setup you have I can't say if you should open up fully or not. I wouldn't want to recommend unless I know exactly what setup you have for health and safety reasons. I wouldn't want you to have any mishaps that may cause harm

[@uraninite8151]

@@Natquascape Its virtually the same as yours, except my regulator is non adjustable and not dual stage. But its ok.
