 CO2 Systems

In addition to regular feeding with essential nutrients and trace elements, plants require a plentiful supply of carbon dioxide (CO2) during daylight hours to photosynthesize and grow. In a well-planted aquarium CO2 is in great demand and if not added regularly will become the most dominant factor limiting plant growth.

CO2 Control Valve:
CO2 Control ValveToo much CO2 can reduce the pH in an aquarium to levels that are stressful for fish. For the safe use of CO2 it is highly recommended to automate the CO2 system with either a simple time switch or by a pH controller.

  • Low working temperature
  • Low (2W) power consumption
  • Connects to time switches or pH controllers
  • Suitable for all CO2 systems
  • Easy installation
Plant Nutrition
Most aquatic plants take up nutrients through their roots, while some aquarium plants take up nutrients through their leaves. After addition, most nutrients are reasonably stable in the aquarium substrate and water, however some essential elements must be added daily or periodically in order to maintain the correct levels for vibrant plant growth.

FloraGro - Essential mineral blend for plants

Flora Gro is a comprehensive plant nutrient mix containing water-soluble nutrients and Iron that are taken up directly through the plants leaves. Flora Gro should be added to the aquarium water during set-up of a new aquarium and with every water change.

 

FloraRoot - Ideal mineral Source for plant roots

Flora Root is a hard gradule, high in natureal laterite that is designed to be mixed with aquarium gravel, replicating the natural substrates in which aquatic plants flourish. In nature, bacteria that inhabit these substrates break down root acids, enabling the roots ot take up the nutrients they require as and when they need them. To replicate this in an aquarium, Flora Root is supplied with a packet of ActiFlora (substrate bacteria) that become active only after their introduction into a moist substrate.

Flora 24 - Daily replenisher of essential trace elements

Many essential trace elements are either broken down or absorbed by the plants on a daily basis. The daily addition of Flora 24 is therefore essential for prolonged successful plant growth.

 

Flora Dose - Periodic mineral replenisher for plant substrates

In established aquariums where Flora Root cannot be added retrospectively, or to replenish the substrate mineral content every 6 months, Flora Dose, tablets should be added to the substrate.
