EasyCarbo is an extremely powerful and effective carbon source for aquarium plants. It also actively combats and prevents the growth of algae.
Carbon (in the form of CO2 dissolved in the water) is one of the most important nutrients for optimal plant growth. If there is a lack of carbon, plants are not able to optimally assimilate and grow. As a result of this deficiency, plants stop growing and no longer compete with algae for nutrients. If this carbon deficiency lasts for too long, then plants start to leak sugars and other nutrients which attract algae. As a result, leaves become covered in algae and look unattractive. EasyCarbo is the solution to this problem. After approximately two weeks of using EasyCarbo, plants visibly grow better and look better. This is particularly true of swamp plants (Cryptocoryne sp., Echinodorus sp., etcetera). As a result of the increased competition for nutrients, algae find it very difficult to survive and, in most cases, they disappear altogether..
The use of ProFito and EasyCarbo is the right combination.
Plants require more than just carbon. Trace elements are also essential. Since their presence cannot be precisely measured and we, therefore, do not know which trace elements are present in the water, ProFito is the ideal solution to enrich the water with trace elements in the most complete way.

This is a fantastic product and provides a reliable carbon source for plants as long as the dosage and consistency is adhered to. I have noted that liquid carbon products are receiving a lot of bad press in aquatic forums recently but from my experience of using Easycarbo for 4 years , plant growth is markedly improved . I recently started a 100 gallon low tech planted tank . For the first 3 weeks plant growth was poor and I was plagued with 3 different types of algae. 4 weeks after starting Easycarbo, my tank is comparable to one which uses injected CO2. Even my Vallis ( which people claim is killed by co2) has leaves almost 4 ft long. I think what some planted aquarium keepers need to understand is that plants use carbon, not carbon dioxide. CO2 gas injected is just a source of carbon as is Easycarbo. The plants extract and use the Carbon and excrete the remaining components ( usually hydrogen and oxygen)

An easy to use product. It seems to be keeping the plants healthy and deterring algae.

Your plants will be wrapped with recyclable Honey Comb wrap - sounds cool because it is :). It interlocks which means we don't need to use tape either, reducing our impact on the environment.
Not only is delivery fast with DPD Express but it's also green as they offset all the carbon their vehicles produce. Guilt free delivery which we're very proud of...
We guarantee you'll be happy with your order. But if you're not, please contact us so we can resolve. We are 100% here to help and will always do our best to resolve any issues - that's a promise.
I have had the plants about three weeks now and so far so good. If Aqua Essentials could please provide a list of easy to grow plants. I know Co2 instruction is ideal but i am not sure how that is achieved or the cost of doing that?
Fast delivery and plants arrived in great condition i am now waiting to monitor the growth in my nee set up and then I will be placing a further order.
This is the second time I've bought from this shop and both times products arrived in good time and in very good shape. Plants are always a decent size and healthy

First time ordering plants online and I now have a permanent source. Not only cheaper but so much better than previous purchases I’ve made in store.
Can’t make a single complaint, next day delivery, great packaging no damage anything. And the moss balls are so tiny I love it. Can’t wait to add them to the tank.
They include little care sheets to figure out how to properly care for your plants if needed. Will be coming back when I’m ready to move forward with the next plants. Great company ☺️
