xElevate freshwater plant care with API CO2 BOOSTER
API CO2 BOOSTER Freshwater Aquarium Plant Treatment is a liquid carbon source designed to support photosynthesis and plant vitality. It delivers carbon to your water in two forms: CO2 and simple organic compounds, so plants can absorb what they need through the water column. The result is a convenient way to help lush, green growth whether you run a busy community tank or a planted aquarium with delicate species. The formula is designed to be safe for freshwater fish and to work without changing your aquarium's pH, making it a compatible option whether you're installing a CO2 system or relying on other plant nutrients. As with other API products, CO2 BOOSTER is intended to be used in conjunction with Leaf Zone and Root Tabs for a fuller care routine. API has more than fifty years of experience creating plant-and-fish care solutions.
How carbon supports your aquarium plants
Plants rely on carbon to build the compounds that fuel growth and color. This treatment supplies a concentrated carbon source that plants can access from the water, helping them photosynthesize more efficiently and express vibrant greens and subtle hues during light cycles.
