Just as it is for us, the right balance of carbon dioxide in their saltwater and freshwater environments is vital for the wellbeing of marine life. Too much or too little spells trouble for your fishy friends and the results of which definitely show up rather quickly. And that is why a good bubble counter is an essential tool for any responsible aquarium owner looking to make their home set up complete.

The ideal CO2 concentration in the water tank depends on several factors like water flow, planting, surface ratio, pH level, and carbonate hardness (KH). However, a rule of thumb is 10 bubbles per minute per 100 liter aquarium water.

After filling with water from your tank, Rhinox's Bubble Counter will clearly let you know exactly how much carbon dioxide is in there at any time with a simple glance, by just counting how many bubbles pass through the unit. Bubble counters are often overlooked when people look to equip their home aquariums, but determining how much exactly carbon dioxide is in your tank's water can be tricky. Too much will stress out your fish and eventually poison or suffocate them. Too little will starve your in-tank plants. Optimal levels of CO2 are most desired for all your marine life to thrive together harmoniously.

Supplemented with robust material instead of the traditional breakable glass, you can expect this bubble counter not to break on you as quickly and easily. Also comes with a built-in check valve that fits any standard needle valve beautifully. A needle valve that is attached to the regulator can be used to fine-tune the amount of bubbles (a.k.a. CO2 levels) until you are happy. Let Rhinox's Aluminum Alloy Bubble Counter give you peace of mind after the lights go out every night and a smile when you greet your healthy tank every morning.
