UNS Micro CO2 Regulator – UNSCO2

The UNS Micro CO2 Regulator is the smallest model in the UNS CO2 Regulator series. It pairs perfectly with theUNS CO2 Cartridge, providing a space-saving solution for hobbyists that’s effective and simple to use. Enjoy compact dimensions without compromising on performance and reliability.

There are two basic requirements for plants to grow through photosynthesis;nutrients and light. The most important nutrient for plant growth is carbon. Since carbon dioxide (CO2) is abundant in the atmosphere, plants draw their carbon directly from CO2 to photosynthesize and grow.  In an aquarium, CO2 levels are naturally very low and without any supplementation, submerged aquatic plants will not be able to grow properly. When CO2 is a limiting factor, plants cannot fully utilize all the available light to photosynthesis. This can allow algae to grow and compete with the plants for nutrients, further stunting plant growth. By introducing CO2 into the aquarium, plants can achieve healthy growth faster and therefore outcompete algae.
