Carbon dioxide is essential for optimal plant growth. Under normal conditions, aquarium water contains insufficient CO2 levels to allow plants to grow optimally.
However, it is important to keep the level of CO2 in check as increase in CO2 leads to a decrease in the pH value and in severe cases, life stocks may be deprived of oxygen. Therefore it is necessary to monitor it regularly and intervene before lost of life stock occurs.
SALIFERT Carbon Dioxide (CO2 ) Profi Test for the freshwater aquarium, provides fast and accurate results when used to test your water parameters.
Instructions:
Add 5ml of aquarium water in to the test vial.
Add 4 drops of the co2-1 regent to the vial.
Add CO2-2 by the droplets, into the vial. Swirl gently after in drop, and count the number of droplets till the color of the solution changes.
Freshwater Aquariums should have a total ammonia value of less than 0.25/L.
Note:
Keep out of the reach of children! Only for aquarium hobby use.
The use of protective gloves and eye protection is recommended.
Please read the instructions carefully before using the product.

Dialling In CO2 with the Salifert Freshwater CO2 Test
For the planted-tank crowd in Singapore, this Salifert freshwater CO2 kit takes the guesswork out of injection. Many local scapers run pressurised CO2 to push growth in our warm 27-29C tanks, but too much drops pH and gasses out fish overnight. Rather than relying on a drop checker alone, this kit gives you a direct CO2 reading so you can target a healthy range without pushing livestock into oxygen stress.
It pairs naturally with monitoring pH and KH, since CO2, pH and carbonate hardness are interlinked, and our soft local tap water has low buffering that makes pH swings sharper. Test at lights-on and again later in the photoperiod to see how your injection rate behaves through the day. Keep the reagents sealed and within shelf life, and shake before use for consistent results.
Browse our water testing and care range, and our aquarium CO2 guide, CO2-pH-KH relationship and CO2 measurement guide explain how to read it in context.
