ME Carbo 600 Basic, CO₂ system, 600 g disposable
CHF 119.00
ME Carbo 600 Basic – CO₂ system with 600g disposable cylinderME Carbo 600 Basic CO₂ system with a 600g disposable cylinder for aquariums up to 100 litres. Complete set including a pressure regulator, CO₂ diffuser and continuous test for vigorous plant growth.The ME Carbo 600 Basic is a practical CO₂ system designed to supply aquatic plants with carbon dioxide. The complete set includes a 600 g disposable CO₂ cylinder, offering a straightforward way to set up CO₂ fertilisation in your aquarium. The system is particularly suitable for planted aquariums and aquascapes up to 100 litres.Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is an important component of photosynthesis, alongside light and nutrients. A CO₂ supply tailored to the plants’ needs supports the growth of aquarium plants and can contribute to stronger plants and more vibrant leaf colours.At the heart of the system is the ME Regulator Basic pressure reducer, which allows you to regulate the CO₂ supply. The included Diffuser Pro S disperses the carbon dioxide into the aquarium water in the form of fine bubbles. This promotes the most efficient possible uptake of CO₂ by the aquatic plants.To make it easy to monitor the CO₂ concentration, a CO₂ Check Glass with the appropriate test solution is included in the scope of delivery. The continuous test uses a colour change to indicate whether the CO₂ level in the aquarium is too low, sufficient or too high. This allows the dosage to be gradually adjusted to the plants’ requirements.The system is supplied with a 600 g disposable CO₂ cylinder, a transparent CO₂ hose and a suitable cylinder adapter. This means that the essential components for getting started with controlled CO₂ fertilisation are already included.The ME Carbo 600 Basic is a practical solution for all aquarists who wish to provide their aquatic plants with a targeted supply of CO₂ without having to set up a complex system.Your benefits at a glance1 complete CO₂ kit including a 600 g disposable cylinderSuitable for planted aquariums up to 100 litresPromotes vigorous and healthy plant growthRegulator Basic pressure reducer for controlled CO₂ supplyDiffuser Pro S for fine CO₂ distribution in the waterContinuous CO₂ test with test solution for easy monitoringIncludes a transparent CO₂ hose and a disposable cylinder adapterIdeal for planted aquariums and aquascapingInstructions for useSet up the ME Carbo 600 Basic CO₂ system in a safe, dry and well-ventilated place near the aquarium. The CO₂ cylinder must be kept upright and secured to prevent it from falling over.Fit the pressure regulator to the CO₂ disposable cylinder using the supplied adapter, in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Then connect the pressure regulator to the Diffuser Pro S via the CO₂ hose.Place the diffuser as low as possible in the aquarium, in a spot with sufficient water movement, so that the CO₂ can disperse well throughout the water.Start with a low CO₂ dosage and increase it gradually in line with the plants’ requirements and the measured water parameters.The CO₂ continuous test strip supplied helps you to monitor the concentration in the aquarium. After each adjustment, allow the test strip sufficient time for the colour change to stabilise.Important notesAlways position the CO₂ cylinder upright and securelyCheck the connections for leaks after installationAdjust the CO₂ dosage slowly and in a controlled mannerCheck the CO₂ level regularly using the continuous testProtect your aquatic animals immediately if there are any signs of CO₂ overdoseDo not refill disposable cylinders yourselfInterrupt the CO₂ supply during the night wherever possibleA suitable CO₂ solenoid valve, available separately, can be used for automatic night-time shutdown.Zoo Roco TipA CO₂ system is a particularly useful addition to aquariums with lots of aquatic plants and stronger lighting. To ensure your plants grow optimally, the lighting, CO₂ supply and nutrient supply should be coordinated.We recommend checking the CO₂ level regularly using the continuous test strip supplied. For many planted community aquariums, a CO₂ range of around 20–30 mg/l is recommended, provided that the fish and shrimp population can tolerate this range.Keep a close eye on your aquarium inhabitants, particularly during the first few days after installation. An excessively high CO₂ concentration can be dangerous for fish and shrimps.For convenient control, we recommend fitting the CO₂ system with a suitable solenoid valve and a timer. This allows the CO₂ supply to be automatically interrupted at night when the plants are not photosynthesising.

This ensures the shoots receive enough light and can develop well.Ammania gracilis prefers a bright spot in the aquarium. Moderate to strong lighting, as well as a regular supply of macro- and micronutrients, promote healthy growth and vibrant colouration. Adding CO₂ is recommended, as the plant grows significantly more vigorously and with more intense colour when supplied with sufficient CO₂.Regular pruning encourages bushier growth. The cut shoot tips can be replanted as cuttings.Zoo Roco TipTo develop a beautiful red to copper-coloured hue, Ammania gracilis requires plenty of light and a steady supply of nutrients. Do not plant the stems too densely, so that the lower leaves also receive sufficient light. When combined with light-green plants, this creates a particularly beautiful colour contrast in the aquarium.

It comes with a laboratory comparator system, colour scale, 2 glass cuvettes and reagent – sufficient for approx. 80 measurements.The JBL ProAquaTest pH 6.0–7.6 is an easy-to-use drop test for accurately determining the pH value in freshwater aquariums. The measuring range from pH 6.0 to 7.6 is particularly suitable for community aquariums, planted aquariums and aquascapes where a slightly acidic to neutral pH value needs to be maintained.
A stable pH value is important for the well-being of fish, shrimps and plants. As many dissolved substances in the water are affected by the pH value, significant fluctuations should be avoided. The JBL test helps to detect changes at an early stage and to check water parameters regularly.
Thanks to the laboratory comparator system, any natural colouration of the aquarium water is compensated for. To do this, one cuvette is filled with aquarium water and reagent, whilst a second cuvette serves as a control sample. The value is then read off the colour scale. The test kit is sufficient for approx. 80 measurements and contains reagent, 2 glass cuvettes with screw caps, a pipette, a comparator block and a colour scale.Your benefits at a glanceDrop test for determining the pH valueMeasuring range: pH 6.0–7.6Suitable for freshwater aquariumsIdeal for community aquariums, planted aquariums and aquascapingPrecise monitoring in the slightly acidic to neutral rangeLaboratory comparator system compensates for the water’s natural colourEasy to use with colour changeFor approx. 80 measurementsHelps to detect pH fluctuations at an early stageInstructions for useFill the cuvettes with aquarium water in accordance with the instructions. Add the reagent to one cuvette, place both cuvettes in the comparator block and compare the colour with the colour chart provided. After the measurement, the cuvettes and syringe should be rinsed thoroughly with clean water.When setting up a new aquarium, JBL recommends measuring the pH value daily during the first week. After that, a check once a week is usually sufficient, provided no particular problems or significant changes occur in the aquarium.Zoo Roco TipThe pH value should always be considered alongside other water parameters such as KH, GH, nitrite and nitrate. Regular monitoring is particularly advisable when using CO₂ fertilisation, carrying out water changes or keeping sensitive fish and shrimp species.

The mixture mimics accumulations of wood as found in riverbeds, along riverbanks and on jungle floors. This allows hardscape transitions, the bases of stones and natural drift lines to be designed particularly realistically.
The mixture consists of selected wooden components such as bark, fine roots, twigs and wood chips. After soaking or preparation, the pieces of wood sink and can be placed precisely between stones, on slopes or in small hollows. It is recommended to boil the material for approximately 20 minutes or soak it for 24–72 hours before use, and then introduce it into the tank gradually.
As this is a natural wood-based material, tannins may be released. In weakly buffered water, this can affect the pH value.

The 24 filter elements provide ample surface area for beneficial filter bacteria to colonise and help maintain stable water quality.KoiPro Bacteria House filter medium is a highly porous, ceramic filter material for koi ponds and garden ponds. The fine pore structure provides a large surface area for beneficial filter bacteria to colonise, which play an important role in breaking down pollutants such as ammonium/ammonia and nitrite. As a result, the filter medium supports stable biological filtration performance in the pond.
Bacteria House has a water absorption rate of 80 %. Thanks to the microscopically small pores, bacteria can colonise the material quickly and break down organic pollutants in the pond water. At the same time, the porous structure also acts mechanically, as coarser organic debris is retained and can be further broken down during the filtration process.
The filter medium is particularly well suited to Bakki Shower / trickle filters, but can also be used in other pond filters. One pack contains 24 ceramic filter elements, each approximately 38 × 38 mm thick and 160 mm long.Your benefits at a glanceHighly porous ceramic filter mediumSuitable for koi ponds and garden pondsSupports biological filtrationLarge surface area for beneficial filter bacteriaHelps break down ammonium/ammonia and nitriteWater absorption rate of approx. 80 %Can also be used as a mechanical filter mediumSuitable for Bakki Shower and trickle filtersAlso suitable for other pond filtersPromotes stable water qualityDoes not become clogged quickly, unlike conventional mediaContents: 24 piecesDimensions per element: approx. 38 × 38 × 160 mmInstructions for useBefore first use, briefly rinse the filter medium with pond water or clear water to remove any loose debris.

The black soil originates from Mount Aso in Japan and supports near-tropical water conditions with soft, slightly acidic water. At the same time, it provides aquarium plants with a firm hold in the substrate.
The porous structure of the volcanic soil ensures good water flow through the substrate. This supplies the plant roots with nutrients, whilst beneficial bacteria that break down pollutants find a large surface area on which to colonise. Furthermore, the substrate can bind colourants and suspended particles, thereby helping to keep the aquarium water clear.
The substrate is pre-cleaned, natural and free from sharp edges. This makes it suitable for aquariums with bottom-feeding or burrowing fish.

questions & answers
What is meant by aquaristics?
Aquaristics provides all the products you need to create an aquarium biotope. From the aquarium to the technology such as filters and heating, but also all furnishings for a freshwater or saltwater aquarium are summarised in this category.
Aquaristics is an exciting hobby for young and old. An underwater world enriches any living space, and watching the fish has a calming effect.
Aquaristics is divided into seawater and freshwater aquaristics. The difference in salt content distinguishes these two bodies of water. Saltwater has a salt content of over 4%, i.e. there are 4 kilograms of sea salt per 120 litres of water. Fresh water is water that has a maximum of 0.1% dissolved salts. In the zones where a river flows into the sea, mixed water occurs — this is called brackish water, and the salt content varies. The salt content is constantly changing due to the ebb and flow of the tide.
What is an aquarium keeper called?
He is called as Aquarist, Fish Keeper, Aquarium hobbyist or Aquarium or fish enthusiast. A feminine form is not common. Ichthyologist (someone who studies fish) would actually be the perfect answer. To do well with aquaristics, you would have to study the fish and learn what works well to keep them optimally.
Incidentally, in the Star Trek film, the Aquarians are a group of people. They live in the sea and resemble our sea cows. They communicate via echolocation. Sound can travel five times faster underwater than in the air.
Whales and dolphins, among others, use this type of communication.
How expensive is it to keep a fish tank?
The price depends very much on the size of the aquarium and the technology. Fighting fish aquariums require almost no technology; it is even possible to operate the aquarium without a filter. Aquariums can also be operated fully automatically, with computers controlling the fertilisation and water values, topping up the water and controlling the light for sunrise and sunset. If you want to buy such a high-tech system, you will have to dig deep into your wallet.
But in aquarists, there is the possibility for every budget to acquire an underwater world and then enjoy the ornamental fish.
