How To Use The Product

Premium Nutrition is added every week when changing the water.
The pump bottle dispenses 2 mL per push. We recommend 6 mL (3 pumps per 50 L water per week), but recommend that this is set in accordance with plant requirements.
For example, pale leaves often indicate lack of nutrition, but can also be due to poor growth. Echinodorus bleheri will often show lack of micro-nutrients.
Regular dosing with Premium Nutrition can restore green and luxuriant leaves.
Note, however, that Premium Fertiliser is a fertiliser and not a medicine for dying plants.
It is recommended that minimum 25% of the aquarium water is changed every second week.
If undesirable algae growth does occur, then we recommend increasing water change frequency (up to 50%) and planting additional rapid growth waterplants such as Hygrophila, Vallisneria and Egeria.

Dosing Tropica Premium Fertiliser in Singapore planted tanks

This is the iron-and-trace fertiliser to reach for when your tank carries plenty of fish and only a few slow-growing plants, a very common setup in local community aquariums. It deliberately leaves out nitrogen and phosphate, on the logic that fish waste already supplies those, so you top up the micronutrients, iron and manganese that drive leaf colour without feeding algae with surplus macros.

The pump dispenses 2ml per push, and Tropica’s starting point is 6ml weekly per 50 litres added after a water change. We treat that as a guide rather than gospel: in our warm 27-29C tanks plants tick along faster, so watch the plants and adjust. Pale new leaves or weak growth usually mean you can push the dose up, while persistent algae on a low-plant tank is a sign to ease off. Always dose into freshly dechlorinated water given our chloraminated supply.
