1,5 kg Carbon Dioxide CO₂ - Aquarium - B02 - Aluminium
80,34 €
A 2-liter aluminum CO₂ cylinder with a 1.5 kg carbon dioxide fill is a popular and sustainable choice for fertilizing aquariums (particularly suitable for medium-sized aquariums up to about 200 to 250 liters).

Key Features & Benefits
- Refillable: Unlike disposable bottles, this cylinder can be refilled indefinitely. This is much more cost-effective in the long run and better for the environment.
- Aluminum Material: Aluminum is lightweight, easy to handle, and completely rust-resistant. The latter is a huge advantage in the often humid environment of an aquarium cabinet.
- Ideal Balance: This size offers a generous usage duration (often lasting months, depending on the bubble count per second), while remaining compact enough to fit neatly inside or next to a standard aquarium stand.
Product details
Carbon dioxide (CO₂) gas cylinder, filled with 1.5 kg of CO₂, specifically developed for food-grade applications (built for long-term and professional use).
Transport
Transporte:
- Vertical securing: This also applies to this small B02 cylinder: secure it vertically. A liquid CO₂ cylinder that rolls onto its side during transport can immediately send liquid into the valve when opened.
- Ventilation: Ensure sufficient fresh air, even in a passenger car, especially in a small, enclosed space.
Information
CO₂ Gas Cylinder Specifications (Janox)
- Total Height: 462 mm (including the protection valve/handle)
- Diameter: Ø 120 mm

Safety
Important safety information for CO₂
When working with CO₂, specific rules apply that differ from those for helium:
- Asphyxiation and toxicity: CO₂ is heavier than air and accumulates at ground level. It is not only asphyxiating but, in higher concentrations, also toxic (risk of poisoning). Ensure good ventilation and, preferably, CO₂ detection in small spaces.
- Risk of frostbite: When CO₂ escapes, the liquid expands into a gas and "dry ice" (solid CO₂) can form. The temperature of the valve and regulator can drop to -78°C. In the event of a leak, never touch the metal parts directly to avoid severe frostbite.
- Vertical use: Always use and transport the cylinder upright. If the cylinder is lying down, liquid CO₂ can enter the pressure regulator, which will immediately freeze the regulator and render it unusable, or even cause it to burst.
- Pressure regulator: Use a specific CO₂ pressure regulator. Because CO₂ is stored in liquid form in the cylinder, the pressure on the gauge remains constant until the liquid is almost depleted. This is in contrast to helium, where the pressure drops gradually.
