Dear customer,
We congratulate you for the purchase of your CO
2
Junior Kit. Aquatic Nature developed this new
type of CO
2
system for several reasons. First of all, for the wellbeing and the flourish growth of
aquarium plants, thus preventing the accumulation of phosphates (PO
4
) and of nitrates (NO
3
) in the
aquarium. Secondly, to increase the ease of use and to bring a very high degree of accuracy. The
disposable cartridges were selected because they are completely recyclable, easy to handle and
without any danger. While designing the Junior Kit, we have taken additional measures to ensure
your safety. We have added a security outlet in the regulator (beneath the V-shape). This permits
an escape of the CO
2
gas, should you,
by accident or negligence
, unscrew the cartridge/bottle
(while under pressure) from the regulator
(fig 17)
. The aesthetic aspect was studied to obtain a
system with a functional design. The perfect adjustment gives you the possibility of distributing CO
2
for each aquarium going from 10 L up to 250 L, and this at high precision. To guarantee a good
service, each apparatus was controlled before being packed. Aquatic Nature developed an adap-
tor, permitting the use of bigger bottles. This adapter can be ordered under Art. N° 02 728. For your
safety, no disassembling of the fixed parts may be carried out. This leads to void of warranty.
ADVICE ABOUT THE PLANTS :
The quality of water and lighting is very important for a perfect
assimilation of CO
2
by the plants. The use of Professional Glass Diffusor is recommended for the
aquariums having a dense or very dense plantation. A greater quantity of CO
2
is then diffused in
an optimal way. CO
2
is not recommended to decrease the pH over a short period. This occurs
automatically in the long run.
NOTE OF SAFETY
- Keep out of reach of children.
- The kit must not be placed in direct sunlight or close to a heat source, It is absolutely necessary
to avoid temperatures above 40°C.
- Once connected and in function the kit stays on his place and should not be moved.
- Important : the cartridge/bottle must not be unscrewed during function or when still containing
gas in the bottle, this could cause severe damage if the outlet is blocked
(fig. 17)
.
Once the cartridge/bottle is empty, no more CO
2
is added. The green needle on the manometer
is now in the yellow field. The pressure gauge shows the current pressure of CO
2
in the cartridge/
bottle. Use only Aquatic Nature 80 g (Article N° 02 720) or 95 g cartridge/bottles (Art. N° 02 722 ).
When using other bottles, you are likely to damage the threading of the pressure regulator.
