Carbon Boost 250ml – liquid carbon

Aquaforest Carbon Boost is a 250 ml liquid carbon fertilizer for aquarists who keep live plants and want a daily dosing routine. It can serve as the primary carbon source in a tank without CO2 equipment, or support an existing CO2 installation that needs an extra carbon input.

Why it matters

• The manufacturer states that carbon deficiency stops plant growth and development, so regular dosing is intended to keep plants growing.
• The dosing scale is adjusted to plant density: 1 ml per 100 litres of water for low planting, 1 ml per 50 litres for medium, and 1 ml per 25 litres for high planting.
• According to the manufacturer, the preparation helps maintain a stable pH, which is said to limit algae development.
• It is designed for every aquarium that contains plants, regardless of tank type.

What it works with

Carbon Boost is intended for freshwater planted aquariums of any size, as long as the dose is matched to the amount of plant mass. Use it as a standalone carbon source in tanks without CO2 injection, or alongside a CO2 system as a supplement. The dose table above gives the reference point for scaling the daily amount to the water volume and planting density.
