DENNERLE - Carbo Care Bio - 500ml - Carbon based aquarium fertilizer

Carbon – the basis of life

Carbon (carbon dioxide) is the most important nutrient for aquarium plants. About 40% of the plant dry matter is made up of it, which is however rare in the aquarium. The result: poor plant growth. And when plants grow poorly, unloved algae get their chance. Carbo Soin Bioquickly and effectively supplies all aquarium plants with readily available carbon. All plants, from mosses to echinodorans and cryptocorynes to fast-growing stem plants, grow fuller and stronger. The leaves become noticeably larger and more colorful. Success is already visible after a few weeks - pay attention to the tips of shoots and young leaves. Lush, healthy growth increases the plants ability to compete with algae. Unwanted algae will thus be repelled. The whole aquarium looks healthier, greener and more beautiful.

How Carbo Care Bio works

The basis of plant metabolism is photosynthesis. In this biochemical process, solar energy is "captured" and stored in energy-rich carbon compounds. One such energy-rich compound is sugar. These compounds are used by the plant (a) as a universal source of energy or (b) to produce other compounds. To stay with the example of sugar: the plant can "re-burn" the sugar in its cells and use the energy released to drive other metabolic processes. Or it can turn sugar into cellulose, for example. Cellulose, also known as wood pulp, is the substance that gives trees their strength and consists of nothing but long chains of sugar. How can the plant convert substances into each other? The central core of plant metabolism is the so-called citric acid cycle. The citric acid cycle is like a factory. Here, a wide variety of substances are introduced in order to produce the required substances. With the help of this metabolic pathway, the plant can produce all vital carbon compounds itself: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, vitamins, secondary plant substances, etc.Carbo Care Bio comes into play. The product contains selected active ingredients which are also found in plant metabolism in this or a similar form. The active principles are taken up by the plant and used in the cells as building material for the construction of higher compounds or as a source of energy. This extra input allows the plant to grow faster and stronger. In addition, there is another positive effect: all organic carbon-based active substances are degradable by bacteria, because the many filter bacteria in the aquarium feed on them. In the end, only carbon dioxide (CO ₂ ) and water remain. Carbo Soin Bio supplies plants with vital carbon in two ways. The effect is already visible after a few weeks of regular use: plants grow faster, lusher and healthier, algae are repelled.
