The most informative video on how to setup co2 I have found. This helps me tremendously as I am looking at making a high tech tank. Interested in your thoughts on CO2ART PRO-SE series regulator? Keep up the good work mate
Hi Lochlainn, thanks alot for the comment....means alot. I absolutely love this co2 art pro se regulator. It really does the job. Thanks again for the positive comment mate

I am glad to hear my explanation is very clear. I will do my very best to ensure I keep up this level of quality for future videos that need explanation.
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!
Awesome advice and excellent information on the other products needed to get up and running on a CO2 aquarium. I used a passive approach for years. Now I want to go Reactor infusion, so your vid was very informative. Thank you for sharing!

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
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.
@@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!
@@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
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!
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, 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. I thought I would message as I am trying to reply to a couple of comments but unfortunately, I cant seem to reply for whatever unknown reason. Hope this information helps. Very best wishes, Natquascape
No problem, I like to use products and then give an update so people know the pros and cons, then if the pros outweigh the cons, I reccomend it. If you like product reviews and setups along with more aquascaping step by step setups, please subscribe and hit the notification bell so you dont miss out. I've recently set up a co2 bottle with a stride ways co2 regulator which is working out well. I'll see if I can donate review on that one day.
Great video but I do have one comment. The main valve on the CO2 tank should be either fully closed or fully open. In an intermediate position, some valves can leak. They are not designed to be left partially open.
ALL cylinders valves, are designed to only need cracked opened. They are designed that way, so flammable gases, can be shut off immediately in the event of a fire. I was director of safety for over 25 years. Everytime I saw a forklift, with the propane tank valve completely opened, I would write up the operator of that piece of equipment. Same with the welding shop. Valves are only to be opened 2-3 revolutions.
Dude holy shit thank you so much, such a good video that answered so much of my questions,won my sub instantly and will be looking forward to your content
Thankyou so much for the positive feedback. It really helps me to know what people think. Your comments and feedback will help to ensure I make content that is useful for you guys, which is the over all aim for the channel.
@@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
thank you for the awesome guide. just one question, is a check valve necessary for co2 art pro se? it has a built in check valve... if its necessary I'll add one then! thank you
Great video! I have a quick question. I followed step by step however my working valve is at 120 once I turned the CO2 on. I can’t adjust it to 20-30. Do you know why? I can still adjust the needle valve and control it like that. Thanks
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!
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
Excellent video, the best I could find about CO2 setup. So a new tank would read at about 800PSI, when should I refill the CO2 tank? When it drops below 500 in the red zone? Thanks
@@allaboutvisual hi there, I have just come back from holiday, looking at my co2 art regulator I would suggest you replace when it gets to about 250psi. Ensure you check the working pressure, mine is set to about 45psi as I am using in-line co2. Hope that helps
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. I'm using sodastream for co2 with co2 supermarket adaptor. It has a dial on top that lowers pin to open co2. So once i turn off co2 of empty bottle then what..?. I want to do it the safest way without damaging regulator. Thank you. I just subbed.
Hi bro.. Im planning to buy co2 kit which include mufan dual guage regulator, solenoid, bubble counter, and inbuilt check valve, is check valve def inbuilt is that ok or need to connect check valve seperately. Is this mufan brand good..? Kindly suggest me bro.
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 ?
Is there supposed to be a very quiet chirpy noise coming from my system? I read a comment saying that I need to install a washer, but I didn't, I thought there was one in it already. I saw you simply tightened your regulator on, same as me. Odd
Is your recommend regulator Pro art cga320 standard fits my co2 tank which i bought locally here in Bahrain? There are codes WP15 and QF 2A markings mentioned near the nexk output of the tank. Your help ia highly appreciated

There is a leak where the tube fixed to neo diffuser. As it is under water it is visible.
What about other connecting points..?!
What tubing do you have on the neo diffuser, if it is rigid co2 tubing, swap to silicon tubing
Take a drink for every time the word CO2 is said
😆😆😆😅👍
Great show.. I always try to check out and give my subs a watch and a 👍 up.
Can you put the reactor inline with a uv filter without killing the output flow? I have the fluval 407 on a 75 gal
Is there supposed to be a very quiet chirpy noise coming from my system? I read a comment saying that I need to install a washer, but I didn't, I thought there was one in it already. I saw you simply tightened your regulator on, same as me. Odd
When using a heater on the outlet of the external filter do you place the inline defuser before or after the heater ?
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?
Hi, yes they are all dual stage mate. I am using the Pro SE kit in this video mate
Is your recommend regulator Pro art cga320 standard fits my co2 tank which i bought locally here in Bahrain? There are codes WP15 and QF 2A markings mentioned near the nexk output of the tank. Your help ia highly appreciated
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
Quick question do you use just standard tap water in the bubble counter part?
Very helpful and detailed video. A question though, Is it ok to use a sodastream cannister with that exact type of regulator? Thanks!
Hi Ky, thanks for subscribing. Co2 art actually do adaptors so that you can use sodastream bottles, here is the link:

The CO2 Art regulator says that it has a built-in check valve. Do you recommend adding an additional one?
Don’t think you need the check valve since you got this specific bubble counter
great video! may i ask where you get the CO2 cylinder from?
Hi - I got mine from my local aquascaping store called Horizon aquatics UK www.horizonaquatics.co.uk/
Good info
