Carbon Boost by Fish Science provides a usable carbon source to support plant photosynthesis and healthy aquarium plant growth. Ideal for tanks without pressurised CO2 systems, it can help improve growth, colour and overall plant performance.
In many home aquariums, however, CO2 levels are often too low to fully support demanding plant species, particularly in heavily planted aquascapes. Fish Science Carbon Boost helps bridge this gap by providing an alternative carbon source that plants can utilise efficiently during photosynthesis.
Regular use helps support stronger growth, improved leaf development and more vibrant colouration, particularly in red-leaved plants that often require higher nutrient and carbon availability to maintain their intensity. Carbon Boost is suitable for both epiphytic plants that absorb nutrients primarily through their leaves and root-feeding species that draw nutrients from the substrate.
In addition to supporting plant growth, balanced carbon availability can also help inhibit nuisance algae by improving the competitiveness and health of desirable plants. Healthier plants consume more nutrients from the water column, leaving fewer excess nutrients available for algae to exploit.
Dose daily at 1ml per 100 litres, increasing for heavily planted systems.
