It still plugs into a standard powerpoint or timer to be powered — if you're not comfortable with that wiring, ask an electrician or your local Bioscape stockist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDo I need the solenoid, or is the bubble counter enough on its own?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bubble counter alone lets you see your CO2 rate but won't turn gas off overnight. The solenoid is what stops CO2 flowing when your lights and timer switch off.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bioscape","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55293047210275,"sku":"ARI10B","price":74.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/7236\/5347\/files\/ARI10b_4.jpg?v=1782869626","url":"https:\/\/nicksaquariumoceanariumterrarium.com.au\/products\/bioscape-co2-solenoid-bubble-counter-set","provider":"Nicks Aquarium Oceanarium Terrarium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
