Aquascaping Essentials CO₂ Sodastream Adapter – Side-Entry
The Aquascaping Essentials CO₂ Sodastream Adapter – Side-Entry allows you to connect NZ Sodastream (Blue) cylinders to aquarium CO₂ regulators that use the W21.8 / DIN477 thread.
The 90° side-entry design positions the cylinder horizontally, making it ideal for tight aquarium cabinets, nano tanks, or setups with limited vertical space. This design also helps avoid clearance issues with equipment like bubble counters and regulators.
Made from durable anodized aluminium, the adapter is lightweight, strong, and easy to install without tools. A knurled control knob allows for manual CO₂ flow control.

Fits perfectly in my nano tank setup. The side-entry design saves space and avoids interference with the bubble counter. Easy to install and the knob gives good control over CO₂ flow. No leaks after a week of use.

Great solution for my tight aquarium cabinet. The blue Sodastream cylinder fits securely and the anodized aluminum feels solid. Works smoothly with my existing regulator.
Natalie MacDonald –
Works as expected. The horizontal placement is a big plus for small tanks. A bit harder to see the knob in low light, but otherwise reliable and durable.
