Default liquid organic carbon source a good substitute for CO2??

Yes it works well
The plants don't give of visible oxygen bubbles
Mine are very nice green.
I got sick of trying to maintain enough co2 pH etc
Now I just put 1ml each day. If you get the smaller containers a 1ml
dropper is supplied inside the bottle.
If you compare the price to the time and hassle of DIY CO2 it a good
investment.

Good product
Mike

Greetings,

I just purchased an assortment of plants for my 10 gal. aquarium. In the

past
I've used CO2 injection for plants, using the home-made method, but I

wanted to
avoid all of that this time. When inquiring at a pet store, one guy

pointed out
a product made by SeaChem which substitutes or supliments CO2 injection

with a
liquid carbon source. He said that he used that only and had very good

results,
and he showed me pictures of an aquarium set up by someone else who used

it.
The before/after pics showed plants that really took off when using this

stuff.


Is that stuff for real? Has anyone else had any experience using this type

of
product?

Many thanks,
Paul
