I came across this on the <JBL Blog on liquid carbon>, the guy who wrote it appears to be qualified to comment and works for JBL. You'll have to excuse my Google scholarship degree but from what I can make out essentially if you read all four parts it suggests (from my understanding) that the carbon obtained from the degradation of LC gives you minimal available carbon compared to gas. 15 minutes of gas injection would produce more carbon than with the recommended dose of LC.
Also goes on to say that dosing at higher than recommended dose is actually detrimental to plant growth with a placebo effect of plants looking healthier due to a reduction of algae but with the downside of bordering on being toxic to fish, flora and shrimp at higher levels plus reducing oxygen levels in the column. JBL go on to say that they won't supply the product on "Ethical Grounds"
Appreciate any input from more knowledgeable people on the subject, do you over dose LC? What observations have you made? Perhaps that's why we class certain plants as not LC friendly because certain ones reach toxicity before other?
Just thought it was interesting.
