CO2 Supply
For connection of CO2 distribution tubes, I had a difficulty in connection of tube and parts. CO2 regulator is easy to connect the tube, but it is difficult to connect the tube to glass product because the glass pipe is thicker than the tube. Especially pressure-resistance tube is very hard to connect. I use genuine ADA tube for CO2 distribution.
Please use Silicon Tube (in CO2 Advance System or Parts Set), when connecting with ADA glass item. Other tubes may damage the glass items. (Pressure-resistance Tube cannot be used for connection with glass items.) For easy connection, please soak the glass pipe parts in the water. Pressure-resistance tube is used for connection between CO2 Regulator (Ball Valve) and Non-return valve, while silicon tube is used from non-return valve to CO2 Pollen Glass. Non-return valve is included in CO2 Bubble Counter and CO2 Beetle Counter, and Parts set. Please insert Pressure resistance tube to IN side of non-return valve, and Silicon tube to OUT side.
Now I am supplying CO2 with CO2 advanced system. When supplying the air during the night, is it possible to supply air, using same Pollen Glass in combination with distribution parts?
Pollen Glass (CO2) diffusing mesh is very fine, and it does not let air through the mesh with conventional air pump for ornamental fish keeping. For making aeration during the night, we recommend to use Pollen Glass (Air). The Pollen Glass (Air) has a coarse mesh, and it provides enough aeration with commercially available air pump. Even though it is not automatic, you can lift Lily Pipe Outflow, and make a aeration effectively. After turning off the light, by reducing the water level, or lifting up the Lily Pipe Outflow and fixing it so that Outflow mouth have half way up from the water line, outflow water sucking in the air, it can have aeration effect.
When I use Joint Glass JG-007 on 60cm aquarium tank, the position of Pollen Glass seems to be very close to the water surface. Doesn’t it affect CO2 supply or aerartion?
We consider the basic Pollen Glass setting position half the distance from the bottom to the top. In case of 60cm tank, we advise to set the center of suction cup at 10cm from the aquarium top, considering the substrate thickness. When using Joint Glass JG-007, we also advise to set above written position. Some customer place Pollen Glass near the substrate, but when we compared the CO2 density, we did not find much difference with Pollen Glass position. So we recommend to set the Pollen Glass at above mentioned place. One end of Joint Glass JG-007 is designed to be connected to Pollen Glass, and the other end to Glass Counter Side. The one end with shorter U-shape should be connected to Pollen Glass.
