- BRIGHTY K is a liquid fertilizer supplying potassium to planted aquariums. BRIGHTY K also has an effect of enhancing the buffering capacity of water and prevents a decline in pH of aquarium water.
- *This product does not remove residual chlorine.
Brighty K is a liquid fertilizer supplying potassium to planted aquarium. When potassium is insufficient, the photosynhesis activity and growth of aquatic plants are affected and this can cause yellowing and bleaching of leaves as well as lower resinstance to algae. Daily application of Brighty K to the aquarium improves these problems and promotes healthy growth of aquatic plants. Brighty K also has an affect of enhancing the buffering capacity of water and prevents decline in pH of aquarium water.
Usage
For supplementation of potassium, apply one push(1ml) of BRIGHTY K for every 20l of aquarium water daily. It is effective to add Green Brighty K when the lighting is on. If there is a large amount of aquatic plants in the tank, increase the amount to approximately 2-3 times the standard dose.
Cautions
- Nutrients other than potassium are also needed for healthy growth of aquatic plants. Use Green Brighty Mineral for trace element supplementation, Green Brighty Iron for Iron supplementation and Green Brighty Nitrogen for nitrogen supplementation,
- Do not mix with other liquid fertilizer to prevent change in property.
- Brighty K is strongly alkaline. The pH of aquarium water may rise temporarily immediately after this product is applied, but it will eventually return to the original level.
- Excessive application of Brighty K may have a negative impact on shrimps such as Cardina Japonica and can result in the death in the worst case. When increasing the amount og Brighty K, closely observe the shrimps during the application. If abnormal reaction is observed, perform water change immediately.
- In the event of skin contact, immediately wash with tap water.
- Avoid high temperature amd direct sunlight. Keep in a cool and dark place.
| ADA Super 4 Aquarium Additive is now called Super Pour.
The pack contains ADA substrate additives in individual packets.
It is recommended to sprinkle the ADA Super 4 on a glass base before filling anything in order to promote the work of microorganisms and enhance the inefficiency of soil or decorative sand.
As the substrate cannot make a fresh start right after the setup, it is important to prepare the substrate in a nearly perfect condition at the time of the initial aquarium setup.
ADA Super 4 (Substrate Additives)
To promote the work of microorganisms, it is advised to sprinkle the following under the soil
Bacter 100
Has more than 100 kinds of substrate bacteria in a dormant state.
Sprinkling on the base substrate can make an ideal substrate environment.
It can suppress the growth of green algae. (By applying a bit of it to the affected portion)
Clear Super
A substrate additive made from activated carbon and organic acid.
Clear Super helps the growth of micro organisms.
Sprinkling on the base substrate, promotes the growth of micro organisms in the substrate and stabilizes the environment.
Tourmaline BC
Has fine bamboo charcoal, giving it the ability to absorb organic pollutant substances.
Add some over the substrate during the initial set-up and it will help to improve the substrate environment.
Features
- Improves biological filtration and increases water clarity.

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.
| 2HR Aquarist APT Pure
The 360o water conditioner.
Comprehensive and super-concentrated formula removes chlorine & chloramines and detoxifies heavy metals, ammonia, nitrites and nitrates.
Contains soothing Aloe Vera extract.
Dose 1ml per 60L
Dose up to 5X recommended dosage as an emergency tool to detoxify Ammonia.
The simple power of water change the 2hr way
One of the most powerful ways to improve tank performance is also the simplest: Regular water change in a mindful way.
It is practised in the largest world-class aquariums, and should be done even in a the smallest desktop tank. While a tank looks naturalistic, it is not naturally self-sustaining. Organic waste (much of which cannot be measured by hobbyist test kits) accumulates and not everything can be digested by the tank’s bio-filter.
Embrace the power: Change Water the 2Hr Way today.
The #1 algae trigger is decomposing organic matter. Remove all decaying leaves. Stem plants require replanting after pruning a few times. Unlike terrestrial hardwoods, older aquatic stems generally deteriorate over time. Remove and discard old stems and roots.
Instead of simply draining water, use a pipette or turkey baster to gently stir up detritus on the surface of plants and substrate. Take care not to stir up deeper levels of the substrate. Vacuum the detritus away while draining away around 40% of the tank’s water.
Add a comprehensive 360 water conditioner directly into the tank and refill, taking care not to stir up the deeper levels of substrate. If you are keeping sensitive livestock, pre-mix the water conditioner in a separate container before adding the conditioned water into the aquarium.
Tap water today
Industrial water chlorination dates back to the 1890s in Germany and the UK.
Today most urban tap water contains between 0.2ppm and 2ppm of Chlorine and Chloramines ( a more stable form of Chlorine).
This is high enough to kill water-borne diseases, but low enough for human consumption. However this level is sufficient to harm fish and destroy the beneficial bacteria in an aquarium.
Regular water change
It is worth the effort to change ~40% of the tank water regularly.
At least monthly for a slow growing, fully planted tank with a light fish load. More frequently for tanks with higher bio loads.
Regular water change helps keep algae at bay by removing organic waste that is not digested by microbial action (and not measurable by hobbyist test kits).
When performed the 2Hr Way, it significantly reduces the prime algae triggers of detritus and decaying matter. It also helps to remove algae spore

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.
