CO2 for aquariums – the most important things at a glance

CO2 is essential for the health of plants in aquariums as it promotes their photosynthesis. A basic distinction is made between two products: CO2 bottles and bio-CO2 sets. CO2 cylinders provide a controlled and constant supply of carbon dioxide, but are more expensive to purchase and maintain and require technical understanding to set up. Bio-CO2 sets are easier to use and produce CO2 through the natural fermentation of yeast and sugar, however the amount of CO2 produced is less controllable and the set needs to be refilled regularly. In general, you should be careful with the dosage, as too much CO2 can be harmful to fish. Ultimately, the choice of product should be tailored to the individual needs of the aquarium, your own level of knowledge and your budget.
