The Professional Kit

Numerous benefits can be achieved by controlling the dosage of nutrients in a planted aquarium. It allows complete control on the development and appearance of plants during different development phases. For example, during the initial stages of setting up a planted aquarium, leaner nitrogen & phosphate dosing is preferred to avoid algae problems. Also, it has been observed that many plant species shows better red coloration in a nitrate limiting conditions. Similarly adjusting phosphate levels can eradicate the green spot algae problems. All this can be achieved using this comprehensive kit containing 5 products from Aquatrition®: Elemental Nitrogen, Elemental Phosphorus, Elemental Potassium, Trace Plus and Liquid Carbon. Each product comes which a precision dosing mechanism such that individual nutrient element added in the tank (in ppm) can be measured.

• Potassium: 10-40 mg/L
