{"product_id":"animal-wellbeing-liquid-carbon","title":"Animal Wellbeing Liquid Carbon","description":"\u003cp\u003eCarbon is usually the first thing a planted tank runs short of, and it shows up as stalled growth and algae taking the nutrients the plants could not use. Animal Wellbeing's Liquid Carbon puts bioavailable carbon straight into the water column so plants can photosynthesise properly without a pressurised CO2 rig. Worth being clear about the limit: the brand's own heavy-planting dose assumes you also run CO2 injection, so treat this as the answer for low and medium-light tanks rather than a replacement for gas in a high-tech scape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable in 125ml, 250ml, 500ml and 1L.
