All plants need carbon to grow. Aquatic plants obtain their carbon through CO2 dissolved in water. With Liquid CO2 Boost, plants will grow more vigorously, removing algae-causing macronutrients such as nitrate and phosphate. Use daily, or every other day, to provide plants with a regular and consistent supply of carbon.

How to use?
- Calculate the volume of your aquarium in litres (length x width x depth (in cm)/1000). Alternatively, use NT Labs Dosage Calculator to help you.
- Turn dispenser to unlock, then press down on the pump to dispense.
For best results: Use in conjunction with Plant Boost to provide the trace elements and micronutrients required for healthy plant growth.
“Comprehensive and easy to use, I often like to have a couple of bottles of Anti-Internal Bacteria treatment or Disease Solve to hand. Nice to know that I’m not the only one who rates these products!” Nathan Hill, the Associate Editor of Practical Fishkeeping Magazine
Q: Will carbon remove Aquarium Liquid CO2 Boost or Plant Boost?
A: Activated carbon is very effective at removing carbon-containing compounds from the water. Unfortunately, both our CO2 Boost and Plant Boost have such compounds and are likely removed by activated carbon, reducing their plant growth boosting properties. The best way to use activated carbon in a planted aquarium is on an "as and when" basis to remove water discolouration or odours.
