Looks fabulous Daniel those rose lines look great .... wow pulling out the elemental chart are we....very nice theories Daniel .... Jack loves how you say easy now folks ....
Haha, pulling out the chart is a close to being a scientist as I can get but felt cool. 🤣🤣 Aye mate what a fish the Roselines are. First fish I look for (and count) when I get in. Tell Jack there's a big easy now heading his way from the UK. 🤜
Just letting you know this answered all my questions. I'm a Premium user and I did wonder about compatibility. So I bought EasyCarbo "Easy-Life" this morning - 250ml for nearly 10€. Thank you for your video! Regards from Portugal!
This is mostly good for keeping algae at bay. I measured the CO2 levels in my aquarium before adding this, then measured again after a couple of weeks of use and did notice that ambient CO2 levels had doubled in my aquarium from the natural baseline, but it was still a very very small amount compared to pressurized CO2. As you also speculated, I think the real benefit is allowing the plants to do their job more efficiently by keeping algae off the leaves.
Thanks for sharing your experience with it. Do you have a video about that? Drop the link in a reply if you'd do, I'd definitely be interested in watching it. 👍
Interesting a product I've never used before but it's always good to know about!! Thanks for explaining the use of this product.!! Thanks for sharing your experience👍🌿🐟🌿😁
Cheers Vinny. Not saying it'll be a miracle grower for all but definitely a good algaecide and I'm seeing some extra plant growth as a result for sure.
Do love the content i use TNC lite mainly due to having high tap nitrates dosing with complete gives me 60ppm lol also easycarbo is great for BBA treatment double dosing for 5 days turns it red now how does it work well think elements they are heavy this may cause root feeds to grow wild and leaf feeders no change its all about how the plant feeds ,,,was you also dosing your stock ferts ?
I use the T.Premium and the EasyCarbo too. The EC really helps to get rid of any unwanted algae. I think the Carbon binds with Oxygen molecules in the water to create CO2 and then dissipates at the surface or something to that effect.
great video .. think i will try this next time .i have been using the Colombo Duo Pack Fertilizer & Carbo.. but i dont know much about plants so think i will go down the same ROOT as you
Thanks Mandy. I don't want to give the impression it's the best thing since sliced algae wafers, just that I've seen some improvement since using it. If you're happy with the Duo I'd maybe stick with it but if you're looking for something new I definitely think it's worth trying.
Great info, I've used it with limited success and was always told you can't have co2 in a bottle I like your thought process on the algae, I might try in my algae blooming tank and see what happens, hope your well mate
I'm good homes. Hope you're having a better week than you were last time. Definitely think it's worth trying, other folk seem to be saying it does a stand up job for them too. 👍
They are right it’s not C02 it’s Carbon - which is what plants need, liquid carbon is good but it can’t deliver better growth than a C02 gas system. With plants that have lower carbon requirements it’s perfect. There are some plants that don’t do so well with liquid carbon so it’s always best to research before use.
With some the pants you will be able to lower light requirements because the algae killing properties of the liquid will be more pronounced. I’ve used easy carbo for years in a 300 ltr planted tank. You have to put the right amount in, too little and growth will be minimal, too much and it can be damaging to plants and fish.
I've used easy carbo for years and have seen great results, BUT, the last 3 months or so the results leveled out, and I have stopped using it and also I've gone from weekly water changes to twice weekly and only dosing ferts once a week at the recommended dose ..... my tank has NEVER looked so good, I really think that you can over interfere with your aquariums, there is an argument for letting nature just do what nature does...... we will see, maybe ill get punished with algae down the line, but at the moment I'm enjoying sitting in front of my tank Instead of constantly fiddling, trimming doseing, changing water etc.... Great vid though, 👌 as per usual, later later later.......
Yeah definitely agree with you. One of the beauties of our hobby is that we can do as much or as little as we want in terms of interfering and still get great results. I have tanks that I tinker with quite a lot and others I barely touch. All I'm doing here is testing out a product Angelfish Keeper gave me and reporting on my findings but I would always recommend messing with a tank as little as possible if everything is going well. Hope you had a nice Christmas and 2021 treats you well bud.
@@DanielKeepingFish yh don't get me wrong, I've kept my easy carbo, as if my tank does go out of wack, Its amazing for getting algae under control quickly, had a great Xmas mate, hope you did too, looking forward to all your fishy goings on in 2021!
Having had little success with growing plants I gave Easycarbo a try. I have 3 tanks. One of 120lt but probably only having 100 ltrs after substrate etc, another of 60 ltrs with around 50ltr actual capacity, and a small 12 ltr breeding tank. The 120ltr tank was given a dose of 2ml late yesterday, and the 60ltr tank dosed with 1ml. The breeding tank was left alone. So, this morning I saw all the fish desperately sucking air from the top of the tank, all the (surviving) golden shrimp clutching onto floating plants also sucking air from the surface and numerous others already dead on the bottom. This is certainly a disaster. If shrimp can be killed by this stuff, then even though it hasn't actually killed a fish, (yet) it certainly can't be good for them. Sort of like overdosing on paracetamol. It won't kill you but it'll sure as hell damage something, probably your liver. So, it's back to the CO2 bottles I gave up on last year.
Woa that's a pretty bad experience, I'm sorry to read that. That's a pretty dramatic reaction from a pretty low does especially in the 120. Did you have air running? I'm thinking maybe the algae that was killed off obviously wasn't producing oxygen over night, running an air stone might help. I guess it doesn't matter now anyway because you'll have done a water change and stopped using it but thanks for sharing your experience for others to consider.
Nice video! lots of valuable info! plants look great!
Thanks very much bud. It was real kind of Angelfish Keeper to send me it. Glad he did.
Great information and explanations on liquid carbon the table of elements and the drawing you made make everything easy to understand. Thanks Daniel
Oh hey thanks Marco.
The hardest part was getting the printer to print the darn table right believe it or not. 😂
@@DanielKeepingFish ahahahahah great Daniel!

Nicely explained mate, have seen this stuff around but never used it. Might have to give it a whirl
Thanks bud. Not saying it's a miracle in a bottle but definitely noticed some improvement.

Thanks Cheryl, that sounds like an explanation that makes sense. Good to hear someone else likes it as much as I do too.
@@DanielKeepingFish Also remember it decreases the oxygen levels in the water so make sure you have good aeration for shrimp or sensitive fish.
@@SuperScorpiorising yeah I've been using it in the big tank so far but I'll need to try it in a wee'er one and see how it goes.
very interesting mate. Like this idea

There are some plants that don’t do so well with liquid carbon so it’s always best to research before use.
by taking in more light the plants can metabolie more CO2 to make sugars.
Definitely said better than I did Pup. I was on the right track then though hey?

How often I have to put easy carbo in my tank?
1ml daily up to 2ml daily at most if your tank is heavily planted.
@@DanielKeepingFish I have a 75 gallon and 15 gallon tanks. Thanks for answering.
@lfburckhardt8 ah right 1ml per 13 gallon daily and up to double that if heavily planted. 👍
Anyone have a link to where i can buy this?
I got it from Amazon bud.
@@DanielKeepingFish ive looked on amazon and other places, i cant find it, i just went with flourish excel, hopefully its good

Just use tnc complete
That's a fertiliser this is more of an algaecide. I have used TNC though, good stuff.
