Description
The AQUAPRO CO2 Tubing (5 Meter) is a specialized, high-pressure hose designed specifically for aquarium (text{CO}_{2}) systems. Unlike standard airline tubing, this is built to handle the unique properties of carbon dioxide gas.Why Use Specialized (text{CO}_{2}) Tubing?Standard clear silicone or vinyl airline tubing is “gas-permeable,” meaning (text{CO}_{2}) can actually leak through the walls of the tube before it ever reaches your tank. This leads to wasted gas and inconsistent bubble rates. AQUAPRO (text{CO}_{2}) Tubing solves this with the following features:Gas-Tight Material: Made from high-density polyurethane (PU), which is impermeable to (text{CO}_{2}), ensuring 100% of your gas reaches the diffuser.Pressure Resistance: Designed to withstand the higher working pressures (usually 30–50 PSI) required to push gas through ceramic diffusers without bursting or popping off connections.Kink-Resistant: The material is firmer than standard airline, preventing the tube from folding and blocking gas flow when routed around tight corners or through cabinet holes.Long-Lasting: It does not become brittle, turn white, or harden over time when exposed to (text{CO}_{2}) gas, which is a common issue with cheap vinyl tubing.Product SpecificationsLength: 5 Meters (approx. 16.4 feet), providing ample length for setups where the (text{CO}_{2}) cylinder is kept far from the aquarium.Diameter: Standard 4mm (inner) / 6mm (outer), making it compatible with almost all aquarium (text{CO}_{2}) regulators, bubble counters, check valves, and diffusers.Color: Typically available in transparent, black, or blue to suit your aesthetic preference.Installation TipBecause PU tubing is stiffer than standard airline, it can be difficult to push onto barbs. Dip the tip of the tubing in hot water for 10–20 seconds to soften it before sliding it onto your regulator or diffuser for a secure, leak-proof fit.
