Product Information
Full details
NT Labs Liquid CO2 Boost is designed for aquarium hobbyists looking to enhance plant growth without the complexity and cost of pressurized CO2 injection systems. This concentrated liquid formula provides a bioavailable source of carbon that fuels photosynthesis and promotes lush, healthy foliage in freshwater tanks. While it is an excellent alternative for beginners and low-to-medium light setups, it does not replace the high-saturation capabilities of a dedicated CO2 gas system for demanding, high-tech planted aquariums.

FAQs
Does this replace the need for a CO2 gas system?
It is an alternative for low-to-medium light tanks, but high-light, high-demand aquascapes will still benefit more from pressurized CO2 injection.
Is it safe for shrimp and snails?
When used according to the recommended dosage, it is generally safe for most common aquarium inhabitants, including shrimp and snails.
Can I overdose the aquarium?
Always follow the recommended dosage instructions; excessive amounts can alter water chemistry and put stress on sensitive fish.
How often should I use it?
For best results, it should be dosed daily to maintain a consistent level of available carbon in the water column.
Do I need to turn off my filter when dosing?
No, it is best to dose while the filter is running to ensure the liquid is circulated throughout the tank.
Troubleshooting
Plants are still not showing growth
Check your lighting levels to ensure they are sufficient for the plant species, and consider adding a trace element supplement like NT Labs Plant Boost.
Algae is still spreading quickly
Check your nitrate and phosphate levels; Liquid CO2 Boost helps plants compete, but it cannot fix significant overfeeding or poor filtration issues.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Shake well before every use to ensure the solution is properly mixed.
- Calculate dosage based on the total water volume of your aquarium, following the instructions on the bottle label precisely.
- Add directly to the water column in an area with high flow, such as near the filter outlet, to ensure even distribution.
- Store the bottle in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight to prevent degradation of the active components.
- Keep out of reach of children and pets, and always rinse your hands after handling aquarium additives.
