Tetra CO2 Plus liquid carbon fertilizer

The Tetra CO2 Plus liquid carbon fertilizer is also right at the top of the bestsellers. So if you don't have a CO2 system, whether from a compressed gas bottle or with a bio Co2 plant who wants to gain weight should use this preparation. However, we are of the opinion that Co2 fertilization with a system will quickly pay off. Nevertheless, Tetra offers the Tetra CO7 Plus liquid carbon fertilizer for just 2 euros.

Tetra recommends adding 2,5ml per 20 liters of aquarium per week. This provides plants and vegetation with the necessary amount of carbon dioxide. But you have to throw in one thing right away, because that won't be enough. In addition to the macronutrients, the micronutrients are also extremely important and necessary. Therefore, these must also be fertilized. But the basic food is to a large extent CO2. Customers are not quite as enthusiastic here as with the product from Easy Life. Nevertheless, you can also recommend this addition if you don't want to buy a CO2 system.

In terms of price, you are in a similar range here as with the Easy Life product, which supplies the other nutrients. If you take both in combination you seem to have found a good mix. Of course, always assuming you don't already have a Co2 system in use. We also liked the manufacturer's advice that this remedy can also be used against algae.
