AF Carbon Boost from Aquaforest is a liquid carbon supplement for aquariums with live plants. It is intended for keepers who want to supply plants with carbon in daily doses, either as the primary method or as support for a CO2 system that is already running.
Why it matters
- Carbon supply: the supplier describes the product as a readily available form of carbon, which plants need as a basic building block for growth.
- Scalable dosing: the daily dose depends on plant density, from 1 ml per 100 l in lightly planted tanks to 1 ml per 25 l in heavily planted ones.
- Flexible use: it can replace CO2 supplementation or be added to an existing CO2 installation.
- Algae control: according to the supplier, it helps stabilise pH, which the manufacturer links to limiting algae growth.
