This concentrated liquid carbon fertilizer is intended for planted freshwater aquariums where CO2 levels drop too low for good plant growth. It can serve as the main carbon source in a tank without gas injection, or as a supplement alongside an existing CO2 system.
Why it matters
- Organic carbon form: the manufacturer describes the product as organic carbon in a form that plants can take up readily, which matters because plants absorb CO2 through their leaves, not their roots.
- Concentrate that saturates the water: the dose is designed to dissolve fully and saturate the whole water volume, rather than settling on the bottom where plants cannot use it.
- Growth and algae control: according to the manufacturer, regular use improves plant condition and helps prevent algae, which often appear when carbon is lacking.
- Carbon as a key nutrient: the manufacturer notes that carbon makes up over 40% of dry plant mass, which is why it is treated as the most important macronutrient in the tank.

Frequently asked questions
The fertilizer can serve as the main carbon source in the aquarium, or it can supplement CO2 dosing if you already have a CO2 setup. It contains organic carbon in a form that plants take up easily.
The recommended dose is 1 click per 100 liters of water per day. If the tank is heavily planted, increase the dose accordingly.
Dose it near the outlet of the filter so the liquid is distributed through the water flow.
Regular use is said to improve plant condition and help prevent algae, since low carbon levels in water can encourage algae growth.
The product is rated for up to 40,000 liters of water, so a single bottle should last a long time, even with a high number of plants.
