Flourish Excel Secrets Exposed Part 2: How Does Liquid Carbon Work?

This is the conclusion to the two part mini-series on liquid carbon (glutaraldehyde) for the planted tank. This second part will help us understand how it works. The first part looked at what it is.

I love the way you present things. I can tell you’re one of those people that understands the concept of “the more we learn, the more we realize we know nothing at all”. It’s a lesson more people could stand to learn, so I really appreciate it when I recognize it in someone. That, and I always feel most comfortable listening to sources that recommend continued research rather than taking them on their word. Thanks for the jumping off point! Good stuff, new sub!

[@Neobaneo]

I absolutely love how in depth you got in explaining in your videos

[@Tyralken]

Nice at last someone who put science & thoughts into excel not just reading the it off the labels. Thank you for the insights & time spent on researching it.

[@KHashi76]

The effort that you put into a single video is amazing! All the little charts that pop ip, the Calvin and Hobbes clip, the ray of sunlight blinding you, and your reation to it....all just really impressive to me. Than throw in some crazy science on top of it......recipe for a killer video. I wish I could sub you twice foe your efforts! Amazing channel and videos. Thank you

[@higgz5014]

Hey man just found you on youtube tonight through Cam'sWaterscapes. It's been all great. Thank you. Keep it up

[@SaraG-i-am-jacks-wasted-life]

I don't have the money to spend on a co2 system at the moment but I do feel more knowledgeable [and comfortable] after watching this and a few other videos you put out about liquid carbon. I hope it works! ;)

[@bbc99741]

Wow! You are an excellent speaker with great presentation shills. Your meter and pace was perfect, with enough good information that I walked away with a very good understanding of the topic and some sources to investigate further, should I wish to pursue that avenue. Cheers!

[@DanRiCBarlow]

Brilliant Nick! Great information and awesome video editing. Looking forward to your next series.

[@anirudh163]

I heard that glut actually removes a layer on the leaves of plants which helps them to intake more co2 available in the tank

[@canadianwisdom118]

In depth information on a product I regularly use in all 9 of my planted plaket tanks!

[@jlasa06]

Excellent information. Nice work

[@njw1383]

I love these videos. I always come away feeling i've learnt something

[@TheAngryFishman]

Nicely done my friend. Thank you for everything.

[@timothyh124740]

Excellent presentation and information. I'm a retired chemist, and appreciate the info.

[@GlitterFistsFish]

Well done! I myself enjoy learning the science behind the products and processes we use cause it helps me be more efficient both finnacialy with my fish keeping. Alot of the products out there are marked up 100 % or more just cause they have a picture of a fish on it. But if you learn what these products are doing you can find alternate route to get the same results or atleast substitutions that do as well or better.

[@richlamb9787]

Thank you, great video series. Question: when dosing the liquid carbon; is it removed from the water by agitation and aeriation the same way gas CO2 can be lost? Or in other words; could liquid carbon be used with trickle filters or air pumps and still be available for the plants?

[@jfreeman343]

What kind of pressurized Co2 setup is best for an outdoor submerged plant nursery pool that is over 600 gallons?

[@SlimTim_dirty_aquatics]

Lovin the series, keep it up, Fired Up!!!

[@sufficientlyoldskool]

I watched this video and now I have a phd in chemistry.

[@kyle5709]

Great Video dude!!!
