Why can API CO2 BOOSTER™ product be dosed daily, but API LEAF ZONE™ plant fertilizer is only dosed weekly?
API CO2 BOOSTER product breaks down chemically to supply carbon to plants within 24 hours, thus the reason for re-dosing every 24 hours. The organic compound slowly breaks down over the 24 hour period, allowing the plants to absorb what they need. Meanwhile, API LEAF ZONE plant fertilizer is stable in the water until the nutrients are utilized by the plants, allowing for a weekly dose.

Yes, API CO2 BOOSTER product is safe for use with shrimp. Dosing directions should be followed.
Does the effectiveness of API CO2 BOOSTER™ product change with the different levels of KH or any other water parameters?
