• CARBON IS ESSENTIAL FOR GOOD PLANT GROWTH

  Easy Carbo is an extremely powerful and effective carbon source for aquarium plants. Carbon (in the form of CO2 dissolved in the water) is one of the most important nutrients for optimal plant growth. If there is a lack of carbon, plants are not able to optimally assimilate and grow. As a result of this deficiency, plants stop growing and no longer compete with algae for the nutrients. If this carbon deficiency lasts for too long, then plants start to leak sugars and other nutrients which attract algae. As a result, leaves become covered in algae and look unattractive. Easy Carbo is the solution to this problem. After approximately two weeks of using Easy Carbo, plants visibly grow better and look better. This is particularly true of swamp plants (Cryptocoryne sp., Echinodorus sp., etcetera). As a result of the increased competition for nutrients, algae find it very difficult to survive and, in most cases, they disappear altogether. The use of ProFito and Easy Carbo is the right combination. Plants require more than just carbon. Trace elements are also essential. Since their presence cannot be precisely measured and we, therefore, do not know which trace elements are present in the water, ProFito is the ideal solution to enrich water with trace elements in the most complete way.

TIPS FOR USE

Compatibility

Water type. Freshwater planted aquariums. Easy-Life list EasyCarbo under freshwater plant food only.

With CO2. EasyCarbo is an alternative or a supplement to gas CO2, not a replacement for good practice. Easy-Life’s own worked schedules run EasyCarbo daily alongside a CO2 cylinder: their everyday Type I aquarium gets a half dose of EasyCarbo daily with CO2 around 23 mg/l, and their heavily planted Type II aquarium gets a full dose daily with CO2 around 28 mg/l.

With other Easy-Life plant food. Easy-Life are explicit that carbon alone is not enough — plants need trace elements too, and they recommend ProFito with EasyCarbo as the right combination. Their published schedules add ProFito weekly, Ferro weekly in a demanding tank, and Nitro and Fosfo on water-change day.

Dosing day. In both of Easy-Life’s schedules EasyCarbo is dosed daily except on the water-change day, when the tank gets Nitro, Fosfo and a quarter dose of Fluid Filter Medium instead.

Plant types. Easy-Life single out swamp plants — Cryptocoryne, Echinodorus and the like — as visibly better after about two weeks of EasyCarbo. Fast-growing true water plants such as Vallisneria take up far more nitrate and phosphate than slow-growing plants like Anubias, so a tank full of them needs the macronutrients kept up as well.

Against algae. Easy-Life position the algae effect as a consequence rather than a herbicide action: plants that are no longer short of carbon stop leaking sugars, out-compete the algae for nutrients, and in most cases the algae disappear.

Filtration. Easy-Life ask for Fluid Filter Medium to be dosed separately from other additives, because it can strip ingredients out of fertilisers and treatments. Add the filter medium first, wait until the water goes from cloudy back to crystal clear, then dose everything else.
