| Content | ADA Green Brighty Neutral K by Aqua Design Amano is a potassium-containing liquid fertilizer for all aquatic plants in planted aquariums and aquascapes, which is particularly suitable for aquariums with soft or particularly hard water, because it does not affect the water hardness. ADA Green Brighty Neutral K is an aquarium fertilizer that provides aquarium plants with the vital macronutrient potassium (K) in a very targeted manner.
Potassium is needed by aquatic plants in the aquarium for energy production through photosynthesis, and the essential macronutrient is also involved in many metabolic processes in the plant. In nature, aquatic plants find virtually unlimited potassium in the water, and the potassium level in the aquarium must not drop to zero either. The potassium requirement of aquatic plants is almost as high as their nitrogen requirement. Especially in strongly lit aquascapes, the potassium requirement of plants in the scape is very high.
If aquarium plants have a potassium deficiency, this is noticed on the one hand by the yellowing of the leaves and on the other hand by punctual necroses. The tissue that dies here first turns black, later a small hole forms. Such necroses are often surrounded by a yellow border. Potassium deficiency can lead to stunted growth. Nutrient deficiencies can result in heavy algae growth - algae take advantage of nutrient gaps for themselves.
Aquarium plants like to store potassium generously in the plant tissue as a supply. It is best to add ADA Green Brighty Neutral K when the aquarium lighting is on, so that the plants can process the potassium directly.
The liquid fertilizer ADA Green Brighty Neutral K is not alkaline and also reliably supplies aquatic plants in soft water aquariums with the essential basic nutrient potassium. This aquarium fertilizer does not increase the buffering capacity of the aquarium water.
Application: To supply aquarium plants with sufficient potassium, add one pump stroke (equivalent to 1 ml) of ADA Green Brighty Neutral K per 20 l of aquarium water to the aquascape daily. In strongly illuminated, densely planted aquascapes, the potassium requirement may be increased. The amount of fertilizer can easily be increased to two to three pump strokes per 20 l of aquarium water.
For convenient dosing, a practical dosing pump is included with the 180 ml and 300 ml bottles.
Over time, the color may fade slightly, but this does not affect the effectiveness of the fertilizer.
Content: 180 ml, 300 ml |
Highly concentrated basic fertilizer with a complete set of micronutrients necessary for the optimal development of aquarium plants. The uniquely created formula was designed to provide plants with essential elements such as copper, manganese, iron, molybdenum, zinc, boron. A regular dosage of the AF Micro allows providing the right amount of bio-elements 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. Micronutrients 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 bioavailable elements, guarantees a 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 the 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)

| AQUAFOREST NATURAL SUBSTRATE | 10L
Nutrient rich, peat & clay based substrate base for aquascapes & planted aquariums.
AQUAFOREST Natural Substrate is a nutrient rich, peat and clay based substrate base for aquascapes and planted aquariums. Readily available micronutrients and plant food within it create a fertile, nature-like environment, ideal for long-time plant support and growth. AF Natural Substrate is well suited for the development of a healthy root system, and to help aquatic plants thrive. The peat and clay natural Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) will also absorb any excess nutrients from the water, and either make them available through the roots, or release them back into the water once it becomes depleted. Features and benefits: The carefully selected peat creates excellent conditions for the root system, and supplies plants with all the necessary minerals and trace elements. Clay improves the texture, and acts as the base, achieving excellent consistency. Similarly to peat – clay acts as a natural layer for storing excess nutrients, and maintaining biological balance in the tank. Micronutrient contents have been supplemented under laboratory supervision to make sure that aquatic plants have an abundance of trace elements, while the chemical balance of the tank stays in check.
WARNING:
AF Natural Substrate is rich in micro-nutrients, so for the first three months Aquaforest do not recommend the use of fertilizers containing micro-nutrients, unless the plants show visible signs of deficiency.
HOW TO USE:
- Spread the substrate on the bottom of the tank and compact it to achieve approx. 2-2.5 cm thick layer.
- Cover with about 3cm of gravel or sand.
- Gently fill aquarium with about 15 cm of water. In order to avoid disturbing the substrate, we suggest placing a plate or dish on the bottom, and directing the stream of water on to it.
- Place the plants in the substrate.
- Fill the aquarium with water.
10 L of AF Natural Substrate should be sufficient for a 200 L aquarium with a 100 cm x 40 cm bottom. Substrate can lower and stabilize the pH of the water, therefore it is recommended to use a dedicated test or probe. |
AQUAFOREST RED BOOST | 200ML
Color enhancing composition of carefully selected micro & macro elements for red aquatic plants
AQUAFOREST Red Boost is a professional formula composed from selected micronutrients and phytohormones stimulating red coloring of plants. The green color of leaves is conditioned by presence of chlorophyll. Red aquatic plants also contain other pigments such as xanthophylls, carotenoids, anthocyanins, and flavonoids. These give the plant shades of red, violet, and orange. Specific-purpose fertilization is necessary in order to bring out natural red coloring of plants. The content of phytohormones further enhances growth and development of plants. Carefully prepared AF Red Boost formula delivers all ingredients needed for a healthy look, impressive vivid plant coloring.
HOW TO USE:
In the aquarium: for average amount of plants: 4 drops of AF Red Boost per 100 liters of water daily; for large amount of plants: 8 drops of AF Red Boost per 100 l of water daily.
Recommended : parallel use with 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.

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 PO4 BOOST | 200ML
Professional & highly efficient phosphorus supplement for aquatic plants
AQUAFOREST PO4 Boost is a professional easily absorbable phosphorus fertilizer for aquatic plants. Phosphorus is a particularly important element for plants. A component of many types of proteins and enzymes, it also helps to build DNA. It is the main battery and energy conveyor in processes occurring within the cells. Phosphorus deficiencies are manifested by hindered plant growth and development, as well as leaf discoloration. The appropriate level of phosphates in the plant aquarium should be 0.5-1.5 mg/l. AF PO4 Boost is a formula which ensures the correct level of phosphate content in the aquarium.
HOW TO USE:
10 ml AF PO4 Boost dissolved in 100 liters of water raises the phosphate level by 0.4 mg / l.
Recommended : parallel use with AF Micro, AF N Boost, and AF K Boost.
WARNING :
- Absorbents such as zeolite and/or carbon may reduce effectiveness of the formula.
- The phosphate level should be under control.
- Its excess may result in growth of algae, especially the red algae.
- Only for aquatic purposes.
- Protect from sunlight.
- Keep at room temperature in a tightly closed container, keep out of reach of children.
