Brightwell Aquatics Florin Axis

Brightwell Aquatics Florin Axis

Overview

Power healthy plant metabolism—even in low-CO₂ setups. Florin Axis supplies a readily-assimilated organic carbon source and co-factors that support the Krebs (citric acid) cycle, helping aquatic plants drive steady growth, fuller leaves, and richer color while encouraging beneficial microbial activity that keeps water clearer.

Key Features

• Bioavailable carbon – Supplements or partially substitutes gaseous/pressurized CO₂ in low-tech and mid-tech aquascapes.

• Metabolic support – Targets the Krebs cycle to improve carbohydrate and energy pathways in aquatic plants.

• Clear-water synergy – Supports beneficial microbes that help reduce dissolved organics and haze.

• Safe for planted communities – Compatible with fish, shrimp, and snails when used as directed.

• Easy routine – Simple liquid dosing; scales to tank size and plant load.

Directions

1. Shake well.

2. Start low: Dose per label for total system volume daily or every other day. Begin at ½ dose for the first week.

3. Observe & adjust: Increase gradually toward full dose based on plant response and algae control.

4. Flow: Dose in a high-flow area to disperse quickly.

5. Do not overdose. Excess organic carbon can fuel bacterial/algal blooms.

For pressurized CO₂ tanks, use Florin Axis as a supplement, not a replacement; tune dosing to prevent swings.

Best Practices

• Maintain stable parameters for most aquascapes: 72–80°F (22–27°C), pH 6.2–7.4, KH/GH matched to livestock.

• Keep a balanced fert plan (macros N-P-K + micros/iron). Carbon alone won’t fix nutrient deficiencies.

• Provide appropriate light (PAR and photoperiod) for your species; avoid sudden intensity jumps.

• Good filtration and regular mechanical media rinsing maintain oxygenation and clarity.

Compatibility

• Safe with live plants, community fish, Neocaridina/Caridina shrimp, and snails when dosed correctly.

• Works alongside root tabs, liquid ferts, and bio-bacteria products (space dosings a few hours if desired).

• Avoid concurrent dosing with oxidizers (e.g., peroxide) or medications.
