I've read that some of you are trying out Liquid Bio Carbon.
I'm just wondering whether any of you have seen any difference between that and gluteraldehyde based product?
Not using it to supplement CO2 and not for algae issues. Simply to help plants grow better
I'm swapping from Glute-based Liquid Carbon and have bought Microbe Lift Bio Carbon. At the moment I'm using a half dose of Glute-based LC, and 1ml of the Bio Carbon - I'm actually growing Vallis for the first time in years! Probably because of the teaspoon of coral gravel in the filter sponge to add a tiny amount of calcium which is almost non existent in my tap water. I'd prefer small dolomite chips for the added magnesium, but haven't found a source of those.
The Glute-based LC is running out soon and I'm nervous about using only the Bio Carbon - I did a gradual reduction of Glute-based LC last year, and in the last 6 month all of the plants suffered, some so badly I lost them!
I'm hoping not to repeat that this time.
Thanks for any answers you may have x
