This liquid fertilizer is for aquarists who grow plants and want a carbon source that the plants can take up. The supplier positions it as an alternative to CO2 from gas cylinders and to aldehyde-based liquid carbon products, which it presents as harmful to plants and fish.
Why it matters
- Organic carbon form: the product is based on organic carbon, which the supplier states is the form plants absorb most efficiently, with about 98% of it used by plants.
- Non-biocidal formula: unlike aldehyde-based carbon products, the supplier describes this formula as not biocidal and safe for fish, plants, shrimp and fry, including in case of accidental overdosing.
- Support for nutrient uptake: according to the supplier, carbon is needed for the plants to absorb NPK nutrients, so the stated aim is to reduce nutrient deficiencies and the algae that can follow them.
- Easy dosing: the bottle includes a cap that measures 5 ml, so dosing is done by counting caps.

What it works with
The product is designed for planted aquariums, where it is added to the water as a carbon supplement for plant growth. The stated dosing is calibrated to 40 L of water, so it suits tanks of that size and the amount should be scaled down for smaller volumes. Shake the bottle before use. The supplier notes a slight smell, which it describes as normal because the product is not synthetic.

Frequently asked questions
No. This product is organic carbon, not an aldehyde. The manufacturer states that it is non-biocidal, unlike aldehyde-based products, which can harm fish and plants at high concentrations.
Use 2 caps, which is 10 ml in total (1 cap = 5 ml), for 40 litres of aquarium water. The 300 ml bottle therefore contains about 30 such doses.
Add it when you notice weaker plant growth, or regularly, for example once a week, according to the manufacturer. Shake the bottle well before each use.
It has a slight smell. The manufacturer says this is normal because the product is not artificial.
No, it is not designed as an algae treatment. The manufacturer says it works by helping plants absorb nutrients more fully, which may lower the risk of algae appearing.
