Description
API CO2 Booster 473ml
API CO2 Booster 473ml provides an easy-to-use liquid carbon solution designed to fuel healthy plant development in freshwater aquariums. Carbon is an essential nutrient required by all aquatic plants to carry out photosynthesis and build strong cell structures. While traditional pressurised CO2 setups can be expensive and demanding to configure, API CO2 Booster delivers a bioavailable carbon compound straight to the water column. Regular daily dosing promotes lush foliage, vibrant leaf colouration, and helps aquatic plants naturally outcompete unwanted algae species.
