Colombo Flora Grow Carbo is a vital supplement designed for aquarium enthusiasts who want to promote lush aquatic plant growth without the complexity or cost of a pressurized CO2 injection system. This carbon source acts as a direct substitute for gaseous CO2, allowing plants to photosynthesize effectively and thrive in various environments. While it is highly efficient for most planted tanks, users must carefully monitor their water parameters, specifically ensuring a carbonate hardness of at least 5DH to maintain chemical stability.

It is intended as a replacement for systems lacking CO2, but it can be used as a supplementary booster in some configurations; consult with an expert if combining.
When used according to the recommended dosage of one pump per 50 litres, it is generally safe for most freshwater aquarium inhabitants.
Missing a single day is unlikely to harm your plants, but try to maintain a consistent daily schedule for optimal results.
Maintaining a KH of at least 5DH helps buffer the water, ensuring that the chemical processes related to carbon uptake remain stable.
Always follow the recommended dosage of one pump per 50 litres to avoid negative impacts on your aquarium's chemical balance.
Verify your carbonate hardness (KH) is at least 5DH and ensure adequate light and other macro-nutrients (NPK) are present.
Check the pump nozzle for dried residue or blockages and rinse with lukewarm water.
To begin using the product, ensure your aquarium has a carbonate hardness (KH) of at least 5DH; you can verify this using a standard water test kit. If the KH is too low, you may need to adjust your water parameters before starting. The dosage is straightforward: administer one pump per 50 litres of aquarium water once a day. Always store the bottle in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight to maintain the potency of the carbon compounds. Keep the bottle tightly sealed and ensure the pump mechanism is free of debris to prevent clogging.
