Hi Folks,
Do we really think this product is a complete no-no? Even if it turns out to be the world's most expensive water, is it worth putting it to the test? Apart from checking its pH, are there any other quick checks that could be done on this? According to Dennerle, "CarboElixier BIO is not a replacement for a complete fertiliser". But, Dennerle does say that it contains iron, manganese and potassium. Are there any organic compounds (i.e. sources of carbon) that aquatic plants can absorb in sufficient quantity to sustain them - other than glutaraldehyde? And, would this be through the leaves, roots or both?
I'm asking because I'd be happy to buy a 250ml bottle of this magic potion and try it with some very small Java Fern and Congo Fern plants that I have in a 5 litre* tank.
* Yes, it really is just five litres!
