Find a productProduct description
Carbon Boost suits aquarists who keep live plants and want a daily carbon supplement without building the dosing around a CO2 cylinder. It addresses carbon deficiency, which the manufacturer links to stalled plant growth and development, and it can also support tanks that already run CO2.
Why it matters
- Two roles: the product can serve as the primary carbon supply or as an addition to an existing CO2 installation.
- Dosing scales with planting: the recommended amount ranges from 1 ml per 100 l for low plant density to 1 ml per 25 l for high density, so the same bottle fits different tanks.
- Daily routine: it is designed for everyday use, which keeps carbon availability consistent rather than periodic.
- pH stability: according to the manufacturer, it helps keep pH at a suitable level, which the brand links to reduced algae development.

What it works with
The fertilizer is intended for all aquariums containing plants, both with and without a CO2 system. Because the dose depends on plant density and water volume, the tank's planting level determines how much is added each day. It belongs to the aquatic plant fertilizer category within the CO2 and nutrition range.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, the manufacturer describes it as the main way to supply carbon to plants, and also as a supplement to an existing CO2 system. The daily dose depends on how many plants the tank has.
For a tank with a small number of plants, dose 1 ml per 100 litres of water every day. The 125 ml bottle is enough to dose a lot of water over a long period at that rate.
For medium planting, dose 1 ml per 50 litres of water daily. For heavy planting, dose 1 ml per 25 litres of water daily.
Yes, it can be added to an existing CO2 installation as a supporting supplement. Use the dosing guideline that matches the number of plants in your tank.
The manufacturer states that it helps maintain a suitable pH, which in turn has a negative effect on algae growth. Carbon deficiency is also said to stop plant growth and development, so supplying enough carbon supports healthy plants.
