Aquaforest Micro fertilizer (250 /500ml)

Product Info

Highly concentrated basic fertilizer with a complete set of micro nutrients necessary for the optimal development of aquarium plants. Uniquely created formula was designed to provide plants with essential elements such as: copper, manganese, iron, molybdenum, zinc, boron. Regular dosage of the AF Micro allows providing the right amount of bioelements necessary for the proper, healthy and flourishing growth of aquatic plants. The unique formula ensures a significant acceleration of plant growth, but also their intense colors and healthy look. Micro nutrients are involved in the formation of chlorophyll, biosynthesis of proteins and in many biochemical transformations. Deficiencies cause photosynthesis process disorders, chlorosis, leaf deformation, but also the inhibition of growth and development. AF Micro, as a perfectly digestible composition of bio available elements, guarantees healthy look of aquarium plants. AF Micro is perfect for heavily-planted aquariums.

How To Use

8 drops per day or 4 ml AF Micro per 100l of water once a week. Recommended parallel use with AF Macro, AF Carbon Boost or AF PO4 Boost and AF N Boost. Parallel supplementation with other micronutrient formulas should not be carried out due to the risk of plant overexposure. Absorbents such as zeolite and/or carbon may reduce effectiveness of the formula.
1 ml in 10 l of aquarium water will raise levels:

Mo Molybdenum 0.0007 mg/l (ppm)
Ni Nickel 0.0002 mg/l (ppm)
Manganese Mn 0.25 mg/l (ppm)
Co Cobalt 0.0002 mg/l (ppm)
Fe Iron 0.4 mg/l (ppm)
Zn Zinc 0.03 mg/l (ppm)
Mg Magnesium 0.3 mg/l (ppm)
Calcium 0.002 mg/l (ppm)

Cu Copper 0.006 mg/l (ppm)

Using Aquaforest Micro Fertiliser In A Singapore Planted Tank

AF Micro is a concentrated micronutrient fertiliser carrying iron, manganese, copper, zinc, boron and molybdenum, the trace metals planted tanks need for steady, colourful growth. We recommend it for hobbyists who already supply CO2 and macros but find leaves pale or growth lagging, classic signs that micros are the limiting factor. Available in 250ml and 500ml, it lasts a long time on a typical HDB-sized planted tank since the dose is small.

Our local tap is soft and slightly acidic but chloraminated, so always dechlorinate before it meets your plants, and dose micros into clean water for best uptake. In warm 27-29C tanks plants metabolise quickly, which means trace demand can be higher than cooler-climate dosing charts suggest. Start at the recommended rate, observe new growth over a week or two, then fine-tune, dosing micro on alternate days from macro is a common, tidy routine.
