API CO2 Booster! Question
The media could not be loaded. API CO2 booster! QuestionI bought the API CO2 Booster as well as the Sera CO2 start. Before commenting on API, let's talk about Sera. Using CO2 drop checker, we can measure Sera co2 start from blue to green, but the dosage used is different from that of the manufacturer, so we need to use 2-3 tablets, and the water is 40-60L! Because this week, my moss grows rapidly from withered and yellow! Yes, pay attention to the picture of Moss, because I have not injected carbon dioxide since I bought Moss, so it leads to a large area of Moss withered and yellow, and there is no sign of growth at all! I do have a diy co2 device, but I don't want to use it and want to compare it with other types of CO2! Therefore, Moss faced death, and now it can be seen that Moss, who is withered and yellow, has grown again!It's Api CO2 Booster! Is it carbon dioxide? Can say yes, can say no! But it is not and incorrect, because glutaraldehyde can be biodecomposed in the environment, and the product does not contain halogen, and the decomposed product is carbon dioxide! Just like other aquatic plants, it is organic carbon liquid, and you can't detect any changes using CO2 drop checker! Therefore, we must pay attention to the use and use the dose carefully. If you doubt the efficacy and increase the excess dose, it will brake the fish, but algae removal has a certain effect! Individuals can take oxygen to avoid insufficient dissolved oxygen! I just started test today, and I believe it will take some time before I can make substantive and effective remarks, but it should be noted that it is an organic carbon liquid and a nutrient needed by plants.Therefore, it will take me some time to make a comment! How effective is it? Can it be like Sera CO2 start?But I will give five-star praise, and I believe it will bring me surprises!Update: 22-09-22It's been 4 days, the same 40-60L water, 10ml dose is put into drought, and when you go home late to turn on the lights, you also use a carbon dioxide detector, but the light is only 4 hours, so you are afraid of growing moss and love moss, but not algae! I occasionally wipe off some, but not completely, because of the fish tank health index! Three days early did not feel the situation, to this morning saw the detector green, the reason is 21-09 night home to turn on the lights, after forget to turn off the lights! It was not until I got up this morning that I looked at the fish tank, changed water and fed, and found that the detector turned blue to green!The lights have been turned on for more than 8 hours! Let's estimate it like this! The daily dose of 10ml, change the water and clean the next day, and the dose put in earlier may remain in the fish tank under the condition of insufficient light, maybe not!Personally, I think API CO2 booster is effective. However, it is best not to use the dosage according to the instructions, but according to the size of your fish tank, the number of aquatic plants and the water capacity! You must observe for yourself, how many doses you put in, and how long you illuminate!But the last thing to mention is that oxygen must be given! Personal practice: Put in the dose early, let the aquatic plants absorb it, and turn on the light at night! Will glutaraldehyde deprive the fish tank of oxygen? Therefore, I use dissolved oxygen device to increase dissolved oxygen! And everyone's fish tank, in practice, will be different! Observe for yourself.

Works great
I have a planted tank that is only a few months old. I was having some algae issues, and this really helps keep it under control. It only takes a tiny amount, so the bottle should last forever.

Great for black beard algae.
My small Betta tank was getting taken over by black algae. I started adding a tiny bit (1 oz) about once a week and it started dying back. Now after a good clean I keep up this regimen and no more algae!

Makes a difference but don't expect too much
Nice supplement if you're trying to avoid CO2 injection. Won't make as big of a difference as CO2 injection, but it does help. Plants have grown a little faster with it. It is always either hard to find on Amazon or at a reasonable price.

Excellent Plant Supplement
I had some ups & downs caring for my aquarium plants. I finally got the gist of it. I don't need 10 different supplements, pretty much just thus one & the chlorine filter after water changes & that's it. My plants are green & healthy. I'm very satisfied!
