APICo2 Booster Freshwater Aquarium Plant Treatment 16 oz Bottle, Brown

I have a 20 gal acrylic. Algae is fierce and very aggressive, needs to be killed or it will smother and kill plants! I’ve been comparing C02 Booster to Flourish Excel over the last 2 weeks. Flourish Excel is working a little better. I have a lot of BBA and brown algae. More new leaf growth triggered and noticeably more algae dying with Excel vs. Booster. I willcontinue to dose Flourish Excel daily.

Using CO2 drop checker, we can measure Sera co2 start from blue to green, but the dosage used is different from that of the manufacturer, so we need to use 2-3 tablets, and the water is 40-60L! Because this week, my moss grows rapidly from withered and yellow! Yes, pay attention to the picture of Moss, because I have not injected carbon dioxide since I bought Moss, so it leads to a large area of Moss withered and yellow, and there is no sign of growth at all! I do have a diy co2 device, but I don't want to use it and want to compare it with other types of CO2! Therefore, Moss faced death, and now it can be seen that Moss, who is withered and yellow, has grown again!It's Api CO2 Booster! Is it carbon dioxide? Can say yes, can say no! But it is not and incorrect, because glutaraldehyde can be biodecomposed in the environment, and the product does not contain halogen, and the decomposed product is carbon dioxide! Just like other aquatic plants, it is organic carbon liquid, and you can't detect any changes using CO2 drop checker! Therefore, we must pay attention to the use and use the dose carefully. If you doubt the efficacy and increase the excess dose, it will brake the fish, but algae removal has a certain effect! Individuals can take oxygen to avoid insufficient dissolved oxygen! I just started test today, and I believe it will take some time before I can make substantive and effective remarks, but it should be noted that it is an organic carbon liquid and a nutrient needed by plants.Therefore, it will take me some time to make a comment! How effective is it? Can it be like Sera CO2 start?But I will give five-star praise, and I believe it will bring me surprises!Update: 22-09-22It's been 4 days, the same 40-60L water, 10ml dose is put into drought, and when you go home late to turn on the lights, you also use a carbon dioxide detector, but the light is only 4 hours, so you are afraid of growing moss and love moss, but not algae! I occasionally wipe off some, but not completely, because of the fish tank health index! Three days early did not feel the situation, to this morning saw the detector green, the reason is 21-09 night home to turn on the lights, after forget to turn off the lights! It was not until I got up this morning that I looked at the fish tank, changed water and fed, and found that the detector turned blue to green!The lights have been turned on for more than 8 hours! Let's estimate it like this! The daily dose of 10ml, change the water and clean the next day, and the dose put in earlier may remain in the fish tank under the condition of insufficient light, maybe not!Personally, I think API CO2 booster is effective. However, it is best not to use the dosage according to the instructions, but according to the size of your fish tank, the number of aquatic plants and the water capacity! You must observe for yourself, how many doses you put in, and how long you illuminate!But the last thing to mention is that oxygen must be given! Personal practice: Put in the dose early, let the aquatic plants absorb it, and turn on the light at night! Will glutaraldehyde deprive the fish tank of oxygen? Therefore, I use dissolved oxygen device to increase dissolved oxygen! And everyone's fish tank, in practice, will be different! Observe for yourself.

The media could not be loaded. This product is a must buy, I’ve had this new aquarium for a month and the growth of the Eleocharis is remarkable. My aquarium is about 6 gal and every morning I drop 6-8 drops in it. Something amazing is that I haven’t done water changes and it has remained algae free, except for the biofilm that forms on the surface. It is definitely a great product if you do not have co2 injection. I bought the small bottle because the product expires in about a year, but this doesn't matter because it's definitely worth the money.

ALGAE PREVENTATIVE:I use this almost strictly as an algae preventative and it works amazingly!! I dose every morning when I first turn on the lights for the day. I have been told that the beginning of the "photo" (light) period is the best time to use CO2 for your plants and to keep your fish safe. The measuring cap is really made for tanks at least 10 gallon and above, so I poured some of my CO2 booster into a clean glass dropper bottle and made a label for how to measure it in drops instead of ML for 1 gallon snail tank and my 5 gallon pea puffer tank.PLANT GROWTH:Meh - I haven't really seen significant gains, so this product looses one star, however I am pretty sure that it has help to halt some plant death, so that is a plus.MY PETS:They're fine with it. My fish and snails have not reacted adversely to this at all (even when I added a few extra drops to see if there was a change in their behavior).

My Amazon sword plants are thriving and the leaves are growing super big. I also use the API leaf zone, C02 booster and root tabs with my aquarium plants. I plan on ordering more.

Great product especially for a planted aquarium. Brings everything back to life.

Works great for me!
