Features

• Liquid Carbon Source: Supplies a readily absorbable form of carbon, crucial for photosynthesis, aiding in the development and health of aquatic plants.

• Algae Management: Can help reduce the growth of certain algae types, contributing to a well-balanced tank environment.

• User-Friendly: Its liquid form makes dosing straightforward and easy to incorporate into routine maintenance.

• Nutrient-Enriched: Contains important organic compounds and nutrients that assist in plant metabolic processes and overall vigor.

• Safe for Aquatic Life: When used according to instructions, it is safe for fish and invertebrates, making it ideal for community aquariums.

Usage

• Dosing Instructions:

  • For initial use, add 1 mL for every 10 gallons (40 liters) of aquarium water daily.

  • After the first week, reduce to 1 mL per 20 gallons (80 liters) for ongoing maintenance.

• How to Apply: Add the measured dose directly to the tank, preferably near a filter outflow or circulation point for even dispersion.

• Frequency: Daily dosing is recommended, especially during periods of active plant development.

• Post-Water Changes: Continue dosing after water changes to maintain a consistent carbon supply.

Recommendations
