The JBL ProFlora CO2 Taifun Spiral 5 Diffuser supplies carbon dioxide in evenly sized bubbles and is suitable for use with most common CO2 systems. The Taifun Spiral 5 CO2 Diffuser is suitable for aquariums from 40 to 200 litres and is very easy to install. Simply attach the diffuser via the holding clips complete with suction cups in the aquarium, then connect the diffuser using 4/6mm CO2 hose to the CO2 System (not included).
CO2 enters the lowest module of the Taifun Spiral Diffuser in bubbles via the CO2 supply hose. The visible and therefore countable bubbles rise upwards in a spiral motion through the reactor during which the CO2 dissolves in the aquarium water. In this way, the CO2 system supplies the aquarium plants with their main nutrient, carbon dioxide for healthy plant growth. If the desired CO2 content is not achieved even though the bubble count has been increased, the reactor can be extended by adding further modules. This extends the path for the CO2 bubbles and more CO2 can be added. The only limitation is the height of the aquarium.
The correct CO2 amount varies from aquarium to aquarium and depends on the volume, the water movement and the planting of the aquarium. You can check the CO2 content by means of a CO2 test.

Why don’t the CO2 bubbles dissolve completely?
On their way up, the bubbles release CO2 into the aquarium water, but at the same time absorb other gases from the water, because these gases are more concentrated in the aquarium water than in a CO2 bubble. Therefore, the CO2 content in the bubble decreases and, for example, the oxygen and nitrogen gas content increases. At the end of its journey through the CO2 reactor, it has clearly become less, but it only contains as much CO2 as the surrounding water and all the gases that are also contained in the aquarium water.
