2.1 Connect the pressure reducer
• For Reusable 160 and 300: Place CO
• Turn setting knob on the pressure reducer as far as it will go in di-
rection "- " (CO supply shut off).

coupling ring finger-tight with 27mm spanner.
2.2 Connect solenoid valve (Special Edition only)
• Cut a piece of approx. 50 cm in length from the CO
ensuring that the cut is straight.
• Connect the pressure reducer and solenoid valve with the hose.
IMPORTANT: The arrow on the solenoid valve must point in the
CO flow direction!
2
• Slide each end of the hose as far as they will go onto the hose
connectors and fix with coupling rings.
Primus: Secure hose with clip (to open, push the ends of the clip
apart at the side). µ
• The solenoid valve can be secured on the base cabinet with the
aid of the holding bracket. ¸
Connect the solenoid valve to the time switch. The time switch is
used to cut off the CO

and lighting to the same time switch. ¹
Control states:
Power ON = solenoid valve open
Power OFF = solenoid valve closed
2.3 Fitting the check valve
• Cut a piece of approx. 10 cm in length from the CO
ensuring that the cut is straight.
• Connect the short hose to the entrance of the check valve, and the
long hose to the exit. Slide hoses as far as they will go onto the
hose connectors and fix with coupling rings.
IMPORTANT: The arrow on the check valve must point in the
CO flow direction, i.e. from the CO

2.4 Connect CO
• Rinse Flipper with warm tap water (no detergents!).
• Moisten the hose connector slightly and fit the CO
• Choose a spot in the aquarium which is as dark as possible (to
prevent algae growth) and where the water movement is good.
• Fix Flipper in vertical position, at least 5 cm below the surface of
the water.

3 Setting the amount of CO
3.1 The right amount of CO
For lush plant growth, Dennerle recommends a CO
hose, aquarium of approx. 20 to 25 mg/l.

value (see 4.7).
3.2 Setting the number of bubbles
The required number of bubbles is dependent on various factors, such
as the stock of plants, water movement and lighting intensity. The ap-
propriate CO
for the specific aquarium concerned.
Rule of thumb for the basic setting: Begin at approx.
10 bubbles per minute per 100 l of aquarium water, i.e. 2 x 10 = 20
bubbles per minute for a 200 l aquarium.
Adjust the CO
over several days. Please note: The more vigorously the surface of
the water is set in motion, the more CO

the Flipper.
Special Edition: The solenoid valve must be open for this purpose.
