AF N Boost 200ml

Description

Product Info

Professional easily absorbable nitrogen fertilizer for aquatic plants. Nitrogen is one of the most important macronutrients necessary for plants. The presence of nitrogen influences growth of the plant, its propagation and green coloration of leaves. Proper supplementation of nitrogen is essential as both deficiency and excess may be detrimental to plants. Nitrogen deficiency causes growth inhibition, chlorosis and yellowing of the leaves, and further browning. The excess, on the other hand, is manifested by excessive growth, dark green leaves, while the plant is very delicate and less resistant to mechanical damage. The appropriate level of nitrate in the plant aquarium should be 10-20 mg/l. Nitrogen is absorbed by plants mainly in the form of nitrate and ammonium. AF N Boost contains mineral nitrogen forms that are well absorbed by aquatic plants.

How To Use

10 ml of AF N Boost dissolved in 100 l of water raises the nitrate level by 9.5 mg/l. Recommended parallel use with AF Micro, AF PO4 Boost, and AF K Boost. Do not use with other nitrogen-containing formulas due to the risk of plant overgrowth and algae bloom.

1 ml in 10 l of aquarium water will raise levels:
NO3 Nitrate 9,5 mg/l (ppm)

Dosing AF N Boost Nitrogen In A Singapore Planted Tank

AF N Boost is an easily absorbed nitrogen source for planted aquariums, and it earns its place in tanks running strong light and CO2 where plants strip nitrogen faster than fish waste can replace it. Nitrogen drives growth, propagation and that deep green leaf colour, so when you see pale or yellowing older leaves, a nitrogen shortfall is a common cause. This 200ml bottle lets you dose precisely rather than guessing with a flat all-in-one.

Balance is everything: too little nitrogen stalls plants, while too much shows as soft, dark, leggy growth and can feed algae. Our local tap is soft and chloraminated, so dose into dechlorinated water and pair nitrogen with adequate phosphate and potassium for the plants to actually use it. In warm 27-29C tanks growth runs fast, so re-assess weekly and adjust the dose to how your particular scape responds.
