AF Macro 200ml

Description

Product Info

Highly concentrated basic fertilizer with a complete set of macro elements necessary for intensive plant growth. AF Macro is a precisely selected composition containing nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (NPK) enriched with magnesium. Regular use of AF Macro ensures fast and healthy growth of plants and guarantees their intense and natural coloration. The perfect ratio of macro nutrients provides all the necessary substances that plants use in their natural environment. Macro elements take part in cell structures, proteins and enzymes development, and they’re also a part of nucleic acids. AF Macro is not only the elemental building block, but its components also transport and accumulate energy. Deficiency of macro elements causes growth inhibition, weakening of shoots and discoloration of leaves. AF Macro is perfect for heavily planted aquariums with a small amount of fish.

How To Use

5 ml AF Macro per 100 l of water two times a week. Recommended parallel use with AF Micro and AF Carbon Boost. Parallel supplementation with other formulas containing macronutrients should not be carried out due to the risk of plant overexposure and algae bloom. Absorbents such as zeolite and/or carbon may reduce effectiveness of the formula. In case of a higher demand for any of macronutrients, AF N Boost, AF PO4, and AF K Boost may be additionally applied.
1 ml in 10 l of aquarium water will raise levels:

N Nitrogen 5,0 mg/l (ppm)
P Phosphorus 0,35 mg/l (ppm)
K Potassium 2,50 mg/l (ppm)
Mg Magnesium 1,2 mg/l (ppm)

Dosing AF Macro 200ml in a Singapore planted tank

AF Macro is a concentrated NPK fertiliser, supplying nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium plus magnesium for the macro-nutrient side of a planted aquascape. We recommend it to local hobbyists running high-light, CO2-injected layouts with hungry stem plants and carpets, where demand outstrips what fish waste alone provides. The 200ml bottle is concentrated, so it suits the modestly sized tanks common in HDB and condo homes without taking up shelf space.

Singapore tap water tends to run soft and slightly acidic, which actually pairs well with a dosed fertiliser routine, but it means your plants rely on you for macros rather than the substrate or water column doing the work. Start at a conservative dose, watch new growth and colour over a week or two, and adjust upward only if you see nitrogen or potassium deficiency signs rather than dosing blind. Pair it with adequate CO2 and light or the extra nutrients simply feed algae.
