Description

FlorinAxis Liquid CO2 for Planted Aquariums | 500 ml

Give aquarium plants a readily available source of carbon while supporting more efficient nutrient uptake and healthy, sustained growth. Brightwell Aquatics FlorinAxis is a concentrated liquid carbon supplement formulated with Krebs cycle intermediates, humic and fulvic acids, amino acids, magnesium, and naturally occurring phytohormones.

FlorinAxis can serve as the primary carbon source in planted aquariums without injected CO2 or as a complementary supplement in high-tech systems. By helping plants make better use of available nutrients, it supports stronger growth and may improve their ability to compete with algae.

Key Benefits

FlorinAxis supports several interconnected biological processes that help aquarium plants absorb nutrients, produce energy, develop healthy roots, and maintain consistent growth.

  • Provides bioavailable carbon for direct uptake by aquarium plants
  • Supports healthy plant growth in both low-tech and CO2-injected aquariums
  • Promotes efficient nutrient utilization by supplying important Krebs cycle components
  • Improves nutrient availability with naturally derived humic and fulvic acids
  • Supports root development and photosynthesis
  • Supplies amino acids and soluble peptides used in plant protein production
  • Contains natural phytohormones derived from kelp to encourage plant growth
  • Supports aerobic biological activity and the decomposition of accumulated organic material
  • Features a concentrated formula developed using research into aquatic plant nutrition and molecular biology

Together, these benefits make FlorinAxis a versatile supplement for planted aquariums with different lighting levels, plant densities, and carbon-supplementation methods.

How FlorinAxis Works

Carbon is an essential building block of plant tissue and is often a limiting factor in planted aquarium growth. FlorinAxis supplies carbon derived from naturally occurring compounds in a form that plants can absorb as needed.

The formula also provides components involved in the Krebs cycle—the biological process through which aerobic organisms convert nutrients into usable energy. This may help aquarium plants, fish, and beneficial microorganisms use available nutrients more efficiently.

Humic and fulvic acids further support plant health by improving the availability and uptake of important minerals, including iron, calcium, magnesium, manganese, zinc, copper, molybdenum, cobalt, and nickel.

Functional Ingredients

Each component of FlorinAxis performs a specific role in supporting plant nutrition, biological activity, and overall planted-aquarium health.

  • Citric Acid and Sodium Citrate: Provide an organic carbon source and support the Krebs cycle
  • Magnesium: Functions as a Krebs cycle catalyst, supports enzyme activity, and forms an essential part of chlorophyll
  • Humic and Fulvic Acids: Promote nutrient uptake, root development, photosynthesis, and plant enzyme activity
  • Kelp Extract: Supplies naturally occurring phytohormones that support plant growth
  • Protein Hydrolysate: Provides soluble peptides, amino acids, and slow-release nutrients used in plant protein production

This carefully developed combination supplies complementary sources of carbon, minerals, organic compounds, and plant-supporting substances in one concentrated liquid formula.

FlorinAxis Dosing Instructions

Shake FlorinAxis well before each use. Begin with the recommended dosage and monitor plant growth and appearance for 3–5 weeks before making gradual adjustments.

  • Basic weekly dosing: Add 5 ml per 50 US gallons (189 L) of aquarium water once weekly during the first 3–5 weeks.
  • Advanced daily dosing: For more stable carbon availability, add 6 drops per 50 US gallons each day.
  • Dosage adjustments: After 3–5 weeks, gradually adjust the amount or dosing frequency according to plant appearance, growth rate, and nutrient demand.
  • High-demand aquariums: Densely planted tanks and aquariums with intense lighting, rapid plant growth, or injected CO2 may benefit from more frequent supplementation.
  • Bottle coverage: At the basic weekly dosage, one 500 ml bottle provides up to 100 doses for a 50-gallon aquarium and treats a cumulative total of up to 5,000 US gallons.

Daily dosing helps maintain more consistent carbon availability, while weekly dosing provides a convenient option for lower-maintenance planted aquariums. Because every aquarium has different lighting, plant density, CO2 availability, and nutrient demands, some experimentation may be necessary to establish the ideal dosing routine.

Using FlorinAxis with Other Supplements

FlorinAxis is designed to support carbon availability and nutrient utilization, but it is not a complete source of every nutrient required by aquarium plants. For comprehensive planted-aquarium care, use it with appropriate macro- and micronutrient supplements based on the needs of your aquarium.

FlorinAxis is compatible with injected CO2 systems and may provide additional benefits by supporting the Krebs cycle, nutrient availability, and other biological processes involved in plant growth.
