Dennerle Carbo Care Bio

Carbon - the basis of life

Carbon (carbon dioxide) is the most important nutrient for aquarium plants. Around 40 % of dry plant matter consists of it, but this 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 supplies all aquarium plants quickly and effectively with readily available carbon. All plants, from mosses to echinodors and cryptocorynes to fast-growing stem plants, become fuller and stronger. The leaves become significantly larger and more colorful. 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 plants' ability to compete with algae. Unwanted 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) for the production of other compounds. To stay with the sugar example: The plant can “burn” the sugar again in its cells and use the energy released to drive other metabolic processes. Or it can process the sugar into cellulose, for example. Cellulose, also known as wood pulp, is the substance that gives trees their strength and consists of nothing other than long sugar chains. 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 a similar form. The active ingredients are absorbed by the plant and used in the cells as a building material for the construction of higher compounds or as a source of energy.

This additional supply enables the plant to grow faster and more vigorously. There is also another positive effect: all organic active substances based on carbon are bacterially degradable, as the numerous filter bacteria in the aquarium feed on them. In the end, all that remains is carbon dioxide (CO2) and water.

Carbo Care Bio therefore supplies the plants with vital carbon in two ways. The effect is visible after just a few weeks of regular use: the plants grow faster, lusher and healthier, algae are suppressed.
