Description

Every plant we offer was grown submerged in our fishroom. Skip all the grief that comes from retail versions melting, infecting your tank with parasites & diseases that kill your fish- only for the plant to perish a few weeks later. TheCarbonDragon.com plants are the choice for educated aquarists seeking a real aquarium plant.

Want the best tip I can offer that ups your plant game? Here is our YouTube video link demonstrating how we add Co2 into every planted aquarium. Link: Our Bell Co2 System

PLANT CARE:
Most of the plants we offer are easy to keep varieties. We are primarily dedicated to fish & shrimp, so our plants require a level of robustness to earn a spot in our aquariums.

Below are a few topics important to success in aquarium plant keeping:

Co2:
In an aquarium Co2 levels are significantly lower than what they are in nature. Its importance is that it is a crucial component of photosynthesis. Without increasing available carbon there is nothing the best fertilizers & lights can do because a plant does not have the capability to utilize them. The reason carbon is added in gas form is it happens to be incredibly small and cannot be turned into a salt like the others elements.

Incorporating a Co2 system can appear complicated & expensive when you look at all the equipment available for sale, but most of that equipment is unnecessary altogether. Here, we employ a basic system that anybody can copy. You can rid yourself of the regulator, industrial tank, bubble counter, and diffuser by simply adding one large submerged bubble. All that is required is a Co2 source with a basic open/close valve and a bottle. FYI: One large bubble exchanges Co2 just the same as a bunch of micro-bubbles.

We place a single large Co2 bubble into an upside-down soda bottle that is held in place using the aquarium center brace. To prevent animals from entering the bottle we drill holes in the lid. The Co2 bubble is absorbed the same as any other method. To increase/decrease Co2 absorption alter the size of the holes in the lid. Other ways to increase Co2 absorption is by using a container that keeps the bubble in a shape with a large surface area, with pressure(placing the bubble deeper), or increasing water flow across the opening.

After you rid yourself of a regulator that allows you to use many other sources for your Co2. As long as it possesses an on/off valve it will likely work, this includes DIY reactors, paintball cartridges, soda machines, keyboard cleaning spray, and there are also disposable cans sold specifically for this purpose that cost only a few dollars.

A 12-oz soda bottle of Co2 will supply a 20-gallon aquarium around 24 hours. If you add only enough Co2 to last while the lights are on this system is nearly 100% efficient.

Our YouTube channel has many examples of this system. You will find a Co2 bubble in every one of our planted aquariums.

Fertilizer:
The ultimate goal is discovering what element your aquarium is typically low on. Start with a small dosage of a balanced fertilizer every couple of days, and as the load of plants grows increase dosages. Once you have a routine established, increase one of the elements and observe for even better growth. Start by adding additional iron as it is what a heavily planted tank is often short on. When making a change to your routine, take a picture of your aquarium and observe for additional growth a few days later.

We recommend a 2-part dry mix. When mixed together in water the various elements start to react with each other quickly- degrading the fertilizer. The easiest way to add fertilizer to your aquarium is when in dry form. If you have animals in an aquarium protect them by adding it into something like an external filter to dissolve.

Lighting:
Most LED light fixtures today are sufficient for growing aquarium plants. If a light has red & blue diodes it will likely work fine.

How intense? How long should the light be left on for? A plant can only utilize so much light energy, so increasing it beyond a point will encourage algae. In an aquarium with animals we suggest lower intensity light, and over a longer duration.

Light is energy!!! Being willy-nilly about turning your light on & off is not helpful in a number of ways, so add a timer to your light.

Algae:
If I were to give a talk about success with aquarium plants I could spend a majority of it speaking about algae. One of the biggest obstacles to successfully growing aquarium plants is a plant- algae. Avoid the things that benefit it such as overstocking an aquarium(excess ammonia), being irregular with feeding the animals(impacts the biome), lack of flow across the leaves(where a plant breathes), or being willy-nilly with your lights schedule(light is energy), etc, etc. Consistency is key to minimizing algae in most any aquarium.
