Rudles Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 What are the effects of dosing Easy Carbon? Is it primarily for algae control or will it help color up my Scarlet Temple plants? What are the effects on fish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 It functions primarily as an algae inhibitor but can provide some carbon for plants although likely not in amounts that would show a large change. CO2 injection would give you better plant results as that form of carbon is easier for the plants to uptake. If dosed correctly Easy Carbon should be safe for fish, snails, and shrimp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudles Posted June 12, 2021 Author Share Posted June 12, 2021 (edited) Oooooops, I got it mixed up with Easy Iron. Just got off of three twelves. I forgot that I ordered both. Easy Iron for my new 29 gallon show tank and Easy Carbon for the startup of my 20 gallon high. I'm going to do a complete tear down and restart using fresh soil and if I can get it, pool filter sand. If not I'll have to use play sand. Edited June 12, 2021 by Rudles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
