For optimal results, the dosage can be increased or decreased depending on the aquarium. Dosing can be done more often in densely populated aquariums.
5 ml to 100 liters of water increase the water parameters as follows:

FAQ Questions and answers
Holey plants and dying leaf tissue (necrosis) are typical signs of a potassium deficiency. Initially, these can only be recognized as dark spots with yellow edges, later the necrosis appears over a large area. The growth of new leaves can also be inhibited.
The optimum potassium content in a freshwater aquarium is 5 - 10 mg/L. To effectively prevent a potassium deficiency, use our potassium fertilizer Plants K. This is free of nitrate and phosphate, prevents a potassium deficiency in the long term and supports lush plant growth.
A lack of nitrate in your aquarium will result in pale, whitish or yellow discoloration of older leaves and reduced growth of new plants. A sign can also be the increased occurrence of brush algae.
The optimal nitrate content in a freshwater aquarium is 5 – 10 mg/L. To effectively prevent a nitrate deficiency, use our nitrate fertilizer Plants N. This is free of phosphate, prevents nitrate deficiency over the long term and supports metabolic processes.
A phosphate deficiency is shown by very slow plant growth, reduced shoot tips and discoloration of the plant leaves. The otherwise bright green usually turns very dark to violet. A phosphate deficiency can be identified particularly well in stem plants, as they usually grow very quickly.
The optimal phosphate content in a freshwater aquarium is 0.1 – 0.25 mg/L. To increase the PO4 value, use our phosphate fertilizer Plants P. This is nitrate-free, prevents a phosphate deficiency in the long term and supports metabolic processes.
- For maximum plant growth use Plants NPK in combination with our range of fertilisers.
- A greater density of plants prevents the emergence of algae in a natural manner.
- If nitrate, phosphate and potassium levels are too low, aquatic plants may stagnate in growth.
