Hi all,
Does anyone use liquid carbon for low tech setups?
Thanks

I use liquid carbon in a "low tech" setup, low light etc. It does seem to make a difference, my limiting factor is the low light level.
So where do your plants get there carbon from ?I'm about to reduce Liquid Carbon in all my tanks to ZERO. It's a con.

I wouldn't say it's a con at all. Before I started using it I had a bit of an algae issue, now there's almost none at all and my plants seem heathy.I'm about to reduce Liquid Carbon in all my tanks to ZERO. It's a con.
i wonder if it's due to the gluts algicidal propperties and if regular co2 would have the same effect.
So your thinking maybe try with CO2 injection at a low BPS and see if it gets same/similar results Chris did have great success with his Lazy Asian Biotope which he had on 1 BSP and a 6.5Kg cylinder lasted 2years, he didnt bother with the CO2 on 2hours before either.
Not sure. I ran a tank for two years without any liquid CO2. All plants very healthy - and no algae.So where do your plants get there carbon from ?
How Marcel uses it in response to increasing intensity and duration of photoperiod, in an otherwise low-energy tank, makes a lot of sense. Like he says without it his Anubias would become covered in algae.
That can be done too...I've done it myself, it's just a matter of getting the balance right and choosing the right plants.Not sure. I ran a tank for two years without any liquid CO2. All plants very healthy - and no algae.
I think it's a combination of the two.Yes and i'm realy wondering, if it is because of plant metabolism increasing shedding off the algae or is it the desinfectig algicidal side of glut killing it.

I think that's right, vallis generally does okay, so long as LC isn't overdosed.Likely refering to much higher dosage i guess.
