HOW TO: Fluval 95g CO2 Kit Installation

An easy guide to setting up a Fluval 95g CO2 kit for planted aquariums.

Man. I thought I was about to learn how to make my plants grow in my aquarium.. but now.. I'm just busting out major freestyles and ended up with a record deal. Thanks Fluval!

I just bought one of these. The first thing I did was cry. The second thing I did was buy a proper diffuser so that I could get the 1 week or so out of it before it goes in the bin. I'll be upgrading to a DIY system either sugar and yeast or vinegar and baking soda as soon as the first half filled canister runs out. Out of the box you'd get more co2 into the system by blowing on the water. If you choose to use this kit, just make sure you buy another kit to go with it and replace the inadequate parts.

I bought a 95g kit for my 29 (and hope to use it for my 50 gal that's coming). It's really quite easy to setup, but at the recommended bubbles per second, I have yet to see my drop counter turn green. Would you recommend bumping the number of bubbles per second to a rate that gets the drop counter to turn?

I got one of these yesterday for my 20 gallon tank. Set it up exactly the way you demonstrate here. The regulator is showing 100% but no bubbles at all when I turn on the tank. I'd be most grateful for some advice. Thank you!

Cool kit but dont think that will last too long. Says good up to a 50 gallon tank. But highly doubt that

[FlyhighYYT]

for the price of the kit you can get a big co2 regulator and hook up a 2-3lb paintball co2 tank

How long does a replacement CO2 95g cartridge last?

[FloydThomasIII]

Is it possible to purchase a few of the air line clips that prevent the hose from kinking?

Come on Fluval, got to get those bigger bubbles sorted out 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻just wasting good quality Co2.

The no bubbles coming from the diffuser help.

I bought a kit for “up to 50 gallons” but I’m wondering if this will work in a 75 gallon tank.

[Pipelinedesign]

How long would one of the cansters last for?

[brandonwilliams]

Mine came without a check valve, the thing that makes the tubing wrap around the edge of the tank and the bubble counter leaks air out the side, had to hook up the diffuser directly to the tank and even with it all the way off some co2 comes out

[wyzemann]

Seems appropriate for most timid novices; although how long it will last is questionable. Unfortunately, I haven't found any businesses near me that will sell CO2.

Is the outlet of the Fluval CO2 bottle a standard size?

[buccianti]

My tank is the Spec 2.6 gallon. Is it even possible to use it  a such a small tank? What would the rate be?

I m about to buy one but How long does it last ?? Please help !

[stolyy]

I got this but when I loosened the valve it hasn’t been emptying. I had in on for a bit over an hour and I still didn’t see any co2 going out and the valve showed that it was still full. Is there a fix or did I get a faulty product or something

[EsteGlez]

We sell these at the petco I work at, I’m passing a long a question that came up from one of my planted aquarium customers. Can a stand alone solenoid be used with this, or would it be to much pressure and pop the CO2 line connections?

I love testing and showing products on my channel. This one would seem like fun! *wink* *wink* Fluval 👍
