Dennerle Carbo Care Bio - Available In 2 Sizes

Carbon – the basis of life.

Carbon (carbon dioxide) is the most important nutrient for aquarium plants. Around 40% of the plant's dry matter consists of it, which is in short supply in the aquarium. The result: poor plant growth. And if the plants grow poorly, the unloved algae get their chance. Carbo Care Bio provides all aquarium plants with readily available carbon quickly and effectively. All plants, from mosses to echinodores and cryptocorynes to fast-growing stem plants, become fuller and stronger. The leaves become much larger and more colourful. The success is visible after just a few weeks - pay attention to the shoot tips and the young leaves. The lush, healthy growth increases the competitiveness of the plants against algae. Undesirable algae are thus pushed back. The entire aquarium appears healthier, greener and more beautiful.

How Carbo Care Bio works

The basis of plant metabolism is photosynthesis. In this biochemical process, solar energy is "captured" and stored in energy-rich carbon compounds. One such energy-rich compound is sugar, for example. These compounds are used by the plant (a) as a universal source of energy or (b) used for the production of other compounds. To stay with the sugar example: The plant can "burn" the sugar in its cells again and drive other metabolic processes with the energy released. Or it can process the sugar into cellulose, for example. Cellulose, also known as wood pulp, is the fabric that gives trees their strength and consists of nothing more than long chains of sugar. How can the plant convert substances into each other? The central hub in plant metabolism is the so-called citric acid cycle. The citric acid cycle is like a factory. A wide variety of substances are introduced here to produce the required substances. With the help of this metabolic pathway, the plant can produce all vital carbon compounds itself: carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, secondary plant substances, etc. And this is exactly where Carbo Care Bio comes into play. The product contains selected active ingredients that also occur in plant metabolism in this or similar form. The active ingredients are absorbed by the plant and used in the cells as a building material to build higher compounds or used as an energy source. This additional supply allows the plant to grow faster and stronger. In addition, there is another positive effect: All organic active ingredients based on carbon are bacterially degradable, because the numerous filter bacteria in the aquarium feed on them. In the end, only carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water left. Carbo Care Bio thus supplies the plants with vital carbon in 2 ways. The effect is visible after just a few weeks of regular use: the plants grow faster, more abundantly and healthier, algae are pushed back.
