Evan Posted November 5 Posted November 5 Has Cory discontinued Easy Carbon? I couldn’t find it on the website. 1
Whitecloud09 Posted November 5 Posted November 5 It appears so, now they have easy iron, easy potassium, and easy green fertilizers on the ACO website. I just ordered easy iron today, both that and easy green are great products. 1
GoofyGarra Posted November 5 Posted November 5 I heard Cory talking about this in a livestream. Basically Easy Carbon is discontinued because it is a "pesticide" and therefore the sale of it would require an absurd about of paperwork. 1 1

I was waiting for that to happen (although the correct term would be algaecide). I might have brought this up in a post in the forums a couple years ago. Just look at the warnings on similar products from other brands. 1

A warning isn’t enough, we were told that they’d be talking to all the other brands and they’d be requiring the same process. I don’t know where they are in the process, but for us we didn’t sell enough to warrant registering it in every state yearly as a pesticide.
Maximus Posted November 5 Posted November 5 Product development and logistics in the planted aquarium hobby sounds like quite an ordeal. You've got ferts and "pesticides", live organisms, foodstuffs, lithium ion batteries, and electricity plus water. 2

Do you get a reaction from the contact? The amount we put into aquariums is very minute. 1

JoeQ Posted November 5 Posted November 5 I'm not a fan of liquid carb products but does anyone know why sooo many products are being discontinued by the coop? 1

Ik, but it is pretty dang hard I bet to work with different companys and such to make it happen. But I do have the same question. I bet is is hard though, and I hate that they plan to discontinue the light too, 😭as I wanted to get one, but cannot right now.

From the sounds of it most of it is not stuff they can control, Easy Carbon was due to it being considered a pesticide and having to have it certified in each state, and the lights their manufacturers wanted to focus on a different industry so they will have to find a new manufacturer. 1

Oh yes know I do remember Cory saying that Sunday night, that makes a lot of sense. And I did not know that about easy carbon, huh. With the pesticides and everything.

Not a fan of liquid carbon products. It's a growrh inhibitor and does not discriminate between algae and desirable aquatic plants. 1
