10 kg Carbon Dioxide CO₂ - Aquarium - B13 - Aluminium
144,06 €
A 10 kg aluminum CO₂ gas cylinder (Model B13) is a very large, professional cylinder with an enormous capacity. Despite its impressive volume, the lightweight aluminum material offers significant advantages in terms of handling and rust resistance compared to heavy steel cylinders of this caliber. This model is specifically designed for mega aquariums and large aquaculture facilities.
Important info!
Applications in the Aquarium:
- Maximum Continuity & Operational Time: Provides an inexhaustible source of CO₂, meaning the cylinder rarely needs to be swapped, even with very high consumption rates in large aquariums.
- Industrial-Scale pH Regulation: Ideal for accurate and automated management of the oxygen and acidity balance in massive water volumes.
- Large-Scale Plant Growth: Supports massive, demanding plant populations and rapid biomass growth in large-scale aquascapes.
- Advanced Professional Automation: Seamlessly connects to heavy industrial pressure regulators, dual-stage systems, pH controllers, and large external CO₂ reactors or atomizers.
Product details
Carbon dioxide CO₂ gas cylinder, filled with 10kg of CO₂, specially for aquarium use (made for long-term and professional use).
Transport
Transport:
- Fixation: Despite the lower weight due to the aluminum material, a 10 kg cylinder remains a substantial load. Ensure a solid vertical fixation with ratchet straps in your vehicle.
- Protection: Aluminum is softer than steel and can get dented more easily in the event of collisions. Be careful during loading and unloading and always ensure that the protective cap is screwed onto the valve as soon as the cylinder is not in use.

Safety
Specific safety information for the B13 (Aluminium)
- Always upright: Although aluminum is a different material than steel, the internal physics remain the same: the cylinder must stand upright at all times. In a lying position, liquid CO₂ can reach the pressure regulator, leading to acute freezing and potential rupture of the regulator.
- No oil or grease: Although helium and CO₂ are different gases, the rule for all gas cylinders applies: oil and grease on the connection are strictly prohibited to prevent contamination.
- Risk of freezing (Joule-Thomson effect): When withdrawing 10 kg of CO₂, the chance of the valve freezing is very high during intensive use. Use a powerful pressure regulator and consider (depending on the application) a heating element to ensure a constant flow and prevent freezing of the regulator's internal diaphragm.
- Oxygen monitoring: A 10 kg CO₂ cylinder contains a significant amount of gas. In the event of a leak in a relatively small room, the oxygen concentration can drop dangerously. Ensure good ventilation and preferably CO₂ detection if the cylinder is placed in an enclosed space.
