About API Co2 Booster Freshwater Aquarium Plant Treatment 16 oz Bottle
80% praised for its ability to control algae growth, though 20% noticed some regrowth.
I faced an issue with black beard algae after being away for a week and not dosing. I increased the dosage and it started to kill off the BBA. I directly dosed the affected areas during a water change to expose the leaves and within a day the BBA was gone.
If API had marketed the product as an algeacide/biocide, I wouldn't be writing this review. It's frustrating that they didn't and it's a shame on them.
74% found it easy to dose and apply
The cap of our product includes easy-to-use measurements for dosage.
I use less than the recommended amount of the product due to fear of hurting the fish, but I have had no issues at all.
When used correctly, the product is very effective.
My husband bought a plastic syringe that helps give the right dosage and makes administering easy.

77% appreciated its safe and gentle formula, while 23% reported some fish stress.
Glutaral is a nasty chemical with horrible effects in mice and rats, so it's not recommended to put your hand in the water after dosing.
77% praised for its ability to eliminate unpleasant odors
After using the product every other day, I noticed a notable improvement in odor removal after a couple of weeks.
I use less than the recommended amount to avoid hurting fish and have had no issues.
78% appreciated its ability to replenish essential minerals
I use Booster, Thrive all in one, Vital root tabs and Seachem iron for remineralization of aquarium-water-treatments.
The product works by killing algae and other microorganisms that form a layer on top of the aquarium plants, making it easier for the plants to absorb CO2 and other nutrients.
79% praised for its ability to clear cloudy water, but 21% noticed it didn't work as well with heavy algae blooms.
I speculate that the product changed the balance of the water, resulting in the loss of fish. The exact cause is unknown.
