UNS Micro CO2 Regulator

The UNS Micro CO2 Regulator is the smallest model in the UNS CO2 Regulator series. It pairs perfectly with the UNS 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. Key Features and Important Notes Durable Design: Built from premium aluminum alloy with a sleek gunmetal finish, ensuring long-lasting performance and a modern aesthetic. Standalone or Full Setup: The regulator can operate with just the disposable cartridge, but for optimal performance, we recommend using the solenoid and bubble counter in conjunction with it for accurate and efficient CO2 dosing.
