This is amazing value for money and you'll see amazing results in just a few weeks. We use it daily in our shop plant stock tank and a little goes a long way - the 1 litre bottle treats 50,000 litres!
It is a concentrated readily available carbon source and is an easy alternative to traditional CO2 gas injection systems. Carbon is essential for photosynthesis and plant growth. Without enough carbon dioxide, plants will be weak and the leaves will turn yellow. Weak or dying leaves will then get algae growing on them, and if the plants aren't strong enough to compete with algae you'll get algae growing elsewhere in the tank. Using this for just a few weeks will make a HUGE difference to your plant growth - take a photo diary over 2 weeks and watch your leaves turn glossy and vibrant!
Is this instead of plant fertiliser?
Nope! Many aquatic plants absorb nutrients through their leaves as well as their root system, so a liquid fertiliser is an ideal way to effortlessly target-feed your plants. Plants need carbon dioxide as well as food (just like we need to breathe AND eat!) so we recommend using the Plant Food+ at the same time.
The more healthy the plants, the more efficient they are at using excess nutrients in the aquarium and competing with algae: healthy plants = no algae! There are no nitrates or phosphates in Liquid Carbon so it does not cause algae growth. Completely safe for your shrimp and snails.
