Easy Life Easy Carbo Plant Fertiliser, 500 ml

Last update. I’ve added photos and you can see the Amazon sword leafs have doubled in size. I have pulled out a lot of vegetation at the front to try and get some low growing grasses to thrive. I would say worth a try as it has helped my plants grow bigger. Additionally I have tropical aquarium soil as the bottom layer of my substrate.Update 3. At 100% of dose, I took a month to up the dosage to the full amount. Plants are greener and growing bigger than before. No algae on new leaves but there’s still algae on the tank glass.Update 2. Upped the dose rate to 90%. Plants looking greener with no algae growing on new leaves. Still algae in the tank. No more fish issues.Update. No more fish lost. Plants looking a bit greener. Up to 50% recommended dose rateRather than setting up expensive CO2 systems I thought id give this a try. Started off dosing at a quarter of suggested rate and I am planning on building it up to the required dose rate over a month.After starting dosing this I have lost 2 fish, they were mature fish and neither showed signs of stress.Will keep dosing for another week and see what happens, will update review then

Have been using for a month with easy to care for plants (java fern, java moss, anubis, vallis) but if I'm honest can't really see a noticeable difference. I have used profito from the same company for years and the difference that made was instantly noticeable, hence my continued use. I thought that adding liquid carbon would be the next step up (my plants do well but not as amazing as you see with co2) while avoiding co2 injection. It must be said that I have a lot of surface agitation which may speed up the dispertion of the carbon. I do love plants but feel that adding co2 is sort of against the grain of having fab gas transfer to ensure that your fish have plenty of dissolved oxygen. I would say, first step you should take is using profito if you are wanting more success with plants. Apologies to easy life but this is my experience.

This product is an Algaecide which will kill any algae in your aquarium thus giving your plants an edge allowing them to thrive, this isn't a replacement for c02 injection.Unfortunately for me this also killed a whole school of Emperor Tetra (11) and a German Ram, both species of fish are very sensitive to water chemistry changes and this obviously tipped the balance. I would recommend halving the recommended dose for at least a month and maybe only then upping if required.As an Algaecide this product completely wiped out any algae I had, which included brown diatom algae which is why I give this 5 stars as it does do its job. I just wish I had used a smaller dose than recommended and possibly saved my fish, in fact I will probably never use again unless I stumble across a very bad algae outbreak.Please do your research before using any unnatural product in your aquarium.

A little over a month ago I decided to start a little 'nano' aquarium just for fun. My research showed that it would be best if I had CO2 in the tank but it would be too expensive to install some kind of CO2 injection system - and the tank would be too small anyway. So, I decided to try this liquid CO2. I only have one tank, so I can't attest to how it compares with a tank that isn't using liquid CO2, but I can say that my tank is thriving. The plants are growing wonderfully. I have a small pipette that I use to suck a couple of ml out of the bottle and then squirt into the tank each morning just after the light goes on. I assume that the plants use it for photosynthesis, so it'll be best to add when the light is on. You can see pictures of my tank below. The first picture was taken on January 28, 2016 and the second on February 24, 2016 - so roughly one month later. During that period, the cryptocorynes (that you see in the foreground) melted away to nothing but recovered well and are now growing great.One thing worth noting - my tank initially suffered terribly from algae. I'm not sure if the CO2 supports algae growth, but it was soon on every surface - including the plants. So, I bought six neocaridina shrimp. WOW! Those little guys sure are algae-eaters. I still get algae on the glass, which I remove with a toothbrush - but the shrimp graze the plants and keep them 100% algae free. Brilliant!

This is my second purchase of Easy Carbo (that in itself should be testament to its efficiency!)I use this in my 50L tank which contains lots of slow growing plants which tend to suffer from bba. This is mainly due to a combination of hard water and a sandy substrate. The liquid carbon not only enhanced the growth of plants but also makes for a very effective algaecide too!The reason why this was only given 3 stars for ease of use is because you must be extremely careful not to overdose. The instructions though, are perfectly clear and concise.

have been plagued by brown algae settling on my plants for ages this has eradicated it completely nothing on the plants at all dosing 2ml per day in a 125 l tank i would recommend buying a 5 ml syringe it's easier too see the correct dose using one.am using the Easy Life ferts once per week and also root sticks in addition on my sword plants makes a pleasant change too see them healthy and growing instead of dying all the time.

I normally use C02 from a cylinder but mine had run out and I was unable to replace it from the internet. I therefore had a 2 months wait until the shops open before I could purchase a new cylinder. I thought I should try liquid carbon and have been using it for a few weeks now.I am pleased with the way my aquatic plants are continuing to grow. I think it is a good product but as I have all the expensive CO2 equipment, I will use CO2 cylinders instead. However, if supplies of CO2 cylinders are interrupted again I will us the liquid carbon. If I didn't have this expensive equipment then I would use liquid carbon exclusively. I have not costed the two forms of carbon supply for comparison so I can't comment on which is the most economical.
