5 kg Carbon Dioxide CO₂ - Aquarium - B07 - Steel
179,75 €
A 5 kg steel CO₂ gas cylinder (Model B07) is a professional and extremely powerful cylinder with a maximum capacity. This robust model has been specially developed for very large aquariums, public displays, or intensive aquascapes where maximum service life and absolute reliability are required.
Important info!
Applications in the Aquarium:
- Maximum Continuity: Ensures a long-term, stable CO₂ supply in large water systems, making the cylinder last extremely long (often many months up to a year, depending on the consumption rate).
- Large-scale pH Regulation: Essential for accurately lowering and keeping the acidity stable in substantial water volumes.
- Algae Control & Plant Growth: Provides an inexhaustible source to keep plants in optimal condition, enabling them to effectively overcome algae.
- Professional Automation: Perfectly connectable to advanced control systems such as pH controllers, dual-stage pressure regulators, solenoid valves for nighttime shut-off, and large external CO₂ reactors.
Product details
Carbon dioxide CO₂ gas cylinder, filled with 5kg of CO₂, specially for aquarium use (made for long-term and professional use).
Transport
Transport:
- Fixation: Given the considerable weight (the cylinder itself plus 5 kg of liquid), solid, vertical fixation in the vehicle is mandatory. Use a professional cylinder holder or a sturdy mounting system with ratchet straps.
- Safety: Always wear work gloves and safety shoes during loading and unloading. The valve cap must always be on the cylinder during transport.

Document
Safety
Specific safety information for the B07 (Steel):
- Always upright: The cylinder must be used and transported strictly upright at all times. If liquid CO₂ enters the pressure regulator while the cylinder is lying down, the regulator will immediately freeze, and irreparable damage to the closing mechanisms may occur.
- Risk of freezing: At higher flow rates (such as during continuous tapping or welding), the risk of the valve freezing increases. Using a pressure regulator with preheating is strongly recommended for this size to ensure a constant gas flow.
- Risk of asphyxiation: Because CO₂ is heavier than air and a 5 kg cylinder contains a large amount of gas, good ventilation in the workplace is essential. In the event of a leak in a confined space, the oxygen level can quickly drop below safe limits.
- Avoid heat: Although steel is robust, the internal pressure remains temperature-sensitive. Do not place the cylinder near direct heat sources; this prevents the safety valve on the valve from activating unnecessarily.
