Bio Liquid Co2

The website said it contains only 3 of the necessary ~15 micronutrients, and 1 of the 3 macronutrients. That's why they say it is not a complete fertiliser.

Hi all, apologies for the prolonged absence from the Forum.
An update on the Carbo Elixir Bio :- Just finished the first bottle and have seen no marked changes in plant growth although I still have an issue with BBA. I must admit I didn’t expect to see much of a change as I was already dosing EasyCarbo so I merely swapped to the more “natural” product.
I will continue to use the Carbo Elixir Bio as I feel it is safer that using the EasyCarbo with livestock.
The BBA is probably caused by daily CO2 fluctuations. I can’t seem to keep an optimum dosing level at the moment.
I have purchased a new diffuser (inline model) and will replace the old one when I swap out my cylinder which is just about to run out.
I have just “mowed” the Crypts and need to prune the Nymphae Lotus which I do about once a fortnight.
I’ll put some pics in the gallery soon.

I have been dosing both products for 3 weeks to have a comparison.  I have seen increased growth but go figure... overall I'm doing more by my dosing both products. I too will be sticking with the bio product in future. A) safer, B) lasts in the aquarium longer than 24 hours unlike glut based products so if I miss a days dosing it's no problem.

I do have a slight reservation that I'm seeing more diatoms on the glass than normal but it's not unmanageable and I'm not sure it's related... any thoughts welcome.

Yep both in the same tank

Hi Folks,

I'm certainly interested in giving this Dennerle product a try sometime. Currently, I use CO2 but I'm concerned that it's an inefficient way of getting carbon to the plants. In the tank itself, I have a very good atomizer, which produces a very fine mist of CO2 bubbles. But a very visible proportion of the CO2 bubbles quickly find their way to the water surface where they burst and are lost. And that's with my circulation pump directed onto the atomizer to ensure optimum circulation of the injected CO2. The atomizer is positioned approximately 20cm below the water surface.

@jaypeecee I was using an Atomiser until recently. I found the best results with dispersion were when I had the Atomiser almost at the substrate. I also used a circulation pump to get the bubbles around the tank.
I have just changed to a JBL inline Atomiser which I have attached to one of my external filters. Took a while to get the gas flow right but apart from that the CO2 levels are stable throughout the day (using a drop checker).

Hi davey,

I did consider a JBL inline atomizer but - crazy though it may sound - I don't have enough spare room in my equipment cabinet!
