Are the CO2 cylinders supplied filled with gas?
No. The cylinders listed in this category are supplied empty. CO2 filling needs to be arranged separately through a suitable local filling station.

Which CO2 cylinder size is best for a planted aquarium?
The right capacity depends on aquarium size, injection rate and available cabinet space. Larger cylinders usually provide longer intervals between refills.

What is the difference between steel and aluminium CO2 cylinders?
Steel cylinders are durable and cost effective, while aluminium cylinders are lighter and corrosion resistant, making them easier to handle.

Will every aquarium CO2 regulator fit every cylinder?
No. Cylinder and regulator thread types must match. Always check compatibility before purchase.

The current Aqua Zones range includes steel cylinders with G5/8 threads and a 5L aluminium cylinder with W21.8 Indian Standard CO2 valve.

Can these cylinders be used with complete planted aquarium CO2 systems?
Yes, provided the regulator and cylinder thread are compatible. You can also combine the cylinder with a solenoid regulator, bubble counter, CO2 tubing and diffuser to create a complete pressurised CO2 system.
