The 2Hr Aquarist All-In-One Fertiliser. Richer Colors, Less Algae. Faster Results.
With the 2HR Aquarist APT EI, the famous nutrient dosing approach pioneered by Tom Barr is now available in a ready-to-use concentrate that removes the guesswork from trying to recreate this powerful and sometimes elusive formula. | AF Anti Phosphate is a high-quality phosphate adsorption media designed for use in freshwater aquariums. An aquarium with unbalanced nitrate and phosphate levels can lead to the development of cyanobacteria and nuisance red algae. AF Anti Phosphate media helps to keep these nutrients in balance without affecting vitamins and crucial micronutrients in your system.
- Filter media for eliminating phosphates from the aquarium
- Great for red algae and cyanobacteria management
- Recommended for lightly planted tanks, overstocked tanks, and Malawi an Tanganyika biotope tanks
- Promotes clear water and optimal conditions for plant growth
Use:
- Place in filter basket
- Use 50mL of product per 100L of fresh water

AQUAFOREST Iron Boost | 200ml
Professional, easily absorbable chelated iron supplement for aquatic plants
AQUAFOREST Iron Boost is a professional easily absorbable iron fertilizer for aquatic plants. Iron takes part in a variety of metabolic processes, and above all, it plays an important role in the synthesis of chlorophyll – green pigment. Its presence conditions efficiency of photosynthesis. Iron absorption is dependent on the macronutrient and micronutrient content, as well as the pH and the iron itself. A common problem in aquariums is iron deficiency because its form may not be absorbed by plants. Iron deficiency leads to disappearance of chlorophyll, and consequently development of chlorosis manifesting as leaf yellowing and necrosis. Optimal concentration of iron in aquarium water should be 0.1-1 mg/l. AF Iron Boost contains a concentrated dose of easily absorbable Fe2+ iron chelate for aquarium plants.
HOW TO USE:
- 1ml AF Iron Boost per 100l water one time per week.
- 1 ml of AF Iron Boost dissolved in 100 liters of water increases the iron level by 0.04 mg/l.
- Fertilizer application should be continued until satisfactory results are achieved.
Recommended : parallel use with AF Micro and AF Macro.
WARNING
- Absorbents such as zeolite and/or carbon may reduce effectiveness of the formula.
- Only for aquatic purposes.
- Protect from sunlight.
- Keep at room temperature in a tightly closed container, keep out of reach of children.
| AquaForest Lava Soil
AquaForest Lava Soil 5L is a natural substrate based on volcanic lava, which is enriched with essential minerals for plant growth. When used, it slowly releases the substances contained within it, feeding the plants.
Key Features:
- Natural and does not cause any side effects
- Rich in minerals
- Size of the granules varies from 1 to 8 mm
- Natural soil based on volcanic lava, enriched with essential minerals for plants
Cautions:
- Recommend that you carefully dispense other fertilizers for the first six months after being added. AquaForest Lava Soil 5L will help to control an over accumulation of micro-nutrients
How To Use:
- Sprinkle a 7 cm layer of AquaForest Lava Soil 5L over the tank base. Cover the substrate with water, and plant. Once planted, fill the aquarium to the top with water
| Description
AF Micro
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 AF Micro allows providing the right amount of bioelements necessary for the proper, healthy and flourishing growth of aquatic plants.
The unique formula of AF Micro 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. It is perfect for heavily-planted aquariums.
HOW TO USE:
8 drops per day or 4 ml 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 0,0012 mg/l (ppm)
Ni Nickel 0,00021 mg/l (ppm)
Mn Manganese 0,25 mg/l (ppm)
Co Cobalt 0,0003 mg/l (ppm)
Fe Iron 0,38 mg/l (ppm)
Zn Zinc 0,037 mg/l (ppm)
Mg Magnesium 1,2 mg/l (ppm)
Ca Calcium 0,45 mg/l (ppm)
K Potassium 8,16 mg/l (ppm)
B Boron 0,021 mg/l (ppm)
Sr Strontium 0,02 mg/l (ppm)
Br Bromine 0,004 mg/l (ppm)
Ti Titanium 0,00345 mg/l (ppm)
Cu Copper 0,005 mg/l (ppm) |
2Hr Aquarist APT Fix
The smarter way to treat algae.
Especially effective for BBA, hair/string/fuzz and most forms of filamentous algae.
Gently biodegrades completely.
Spot-dose up to 1ml per 10L every 24 hours.
An unfair advantage
While healthy plant mass is the #1 natural defence against algae, life is often unpredictable.
The filter or CO2 diffuser gets clogged. Grandpa overfeeds the fish. The auto-timer takes an unannounced holiday.
These shocks ( seemingly insignificant to us) weaken plants and give algae a window of opportunity to spawn.
APT Fix works to rebalance the system by targeting the fundamental weakness of algae- their comparatively less developed protective cell walls. When spot-dosed per the recommended dosage, it instantly arrests algae growth while allowing plants to recover.
This is an effective approach for removing algae on hardscape: wood and rocks. Avoid this method for plants.
This is our usual approach to treat algae on plants. To increase effectiveness, pause the filter before spot-dosing. And don’t forget to turn the filter back on! Avoid this method for treating algae on Mosses, Liverworts (Riccardia and Riccia etc.) and Vallisneria (Tape Grass).
No copper
Most algae treatments use compounds that contain Copper, which is a powerful biocide.
The problem is that copper, like other heavy metals, accumulate over time and do long term damage to the tank’s ecosystem.
APT Fix uses an active compound that biodegrades naturally within 24hours, with no nasty residues.
Dominant plant mass
The best natural defence against algae is a healthy dominant plant mass. Tanks with alot of exposed, un-planted areas are far more susceptible to algae, in the same way that fertile open fields invite weeds to grow.
Aim to have at least 70% of the substrate planted. Plants are like trees in a forest. With the right conditions, they naturally outcompete algae.
Top algae magnet
The top algae trigger is organic waste and decaying matter. Never over-stock a tank in its early months. Livestock waste contributes significantly to algae issues in new tanks (< 3 months old).
Regularly change water the 2Hr Way and remove old/ decaying leaves. Stem plants require replanting of the healthy tops after trimming once or twice. Old deteriorating stems invite algae to bloom.
The above shows the result of a single dose of APT Fix via spot-dose method. By Day 2, the inactive BBA would usually change color to red and/or white. These would either decompose, or serve as food for algae-eaters and other microorganisms. By Day 7, the leaf is now mostly free of algae.
The above shows the result of a single dose of APT Fix via the drain-dose method. By Day 2, the hair-algae has lost some of its green color. By Day 5, all the hair algae has been deactivated. You can remove it completely using a fine brush.
