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.
| AF Shrimp GH+ 250ml
AF Shrimp GH+ is a Professional preparation for mineralizing RO water, designed especially for breeding shrimps, especially Bee and Cristal species. Thanks to the use of natural ingredients, it enriches the water with all the minerals necessary for the aquarium inhabitants and guarantees the perfect water parameters. The unique formula was enriched with iron. It supplements the water with calcium, magnesium and potassium in the perfect ratio. It prevents inadequate levels of the elements that could lead to serious moulting and reproduction problems of shrimps. The liquid form provides easy and comfortable use. The perfect selection of ingredients leaves the water perfectly clear, without haziness or white tint. It guarantees healthy growth of shrimps and the proper moulting. Proper water mineralization allows the shrimp to take all the necessary minerals directly from the water, including calcium necessary for building and hardening the shell.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
- The product increases the total hardness (GH), leaving the carbonate hardness unchanged (KH)
- Mineralizes RO, deionized and distilled water
- Provides essential minerals
- Guarantees perfect water parameters
HOW TO USE:
- For GH 5 – 3 ml/5 l of water
- Mix with water outside the aquarium
- After mixing, the water is ready to use immediately
IMPORTANT
Due to the high content of minerals, sediment may appear in the bottom of the bottle, this is completely natural and does not indicate a product defect. The sediment also doesn’t affect the clarity of the water using in the aquarium. | AF Remineralizer 250ml
Liquid mineralizer for RO water. It enriches the water with the minerals necessary for plants and aquarium inhabitants. Suitable for mineralizing RO, deionized, and distilled water. The complex formula contains easily absorbable calcium and magnesium, increasing the general hardness and carbonate hardness in the desirable ratio of 2:1. It contains all the minerals needed to keep freshwater fish and plants in a perfect condition. Maintains the correct ratio of calcium and magnesium. Helps preventing diseases caused by too low content of mineral ions in the water, protects fish against stress and osmotic shock. The liquid formula ensures easy use and instantly prepares water to use in the aquarium.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
- Instantly mineralizes water
- Supports plant growth
- Sets perfect GH to KH ratio
HOW TO USE:
1 ml per 3 liters of water and raises KH: 2, GH: 4. Shake well before use. Mix with water outside the aquarium. |
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.
| AF K Boost
Professional easily absorbable potassium fertilizer for aquatic plants. An important building block, potassium participates in many biochemical reactions, where it acts as an enzyme activator. Also responsible for osmotic regulation and transport of compounds in the plant.
Potassium deficiency is manifested by yellowing of edges and tops of the leaves, leading to necrosis in the later phase. Potassium concentration in the aquarium should be 10-20 mg/l. AF K Boost fully replenishes deficiencies of potassium, needed for aquatic plants.
The formula is very quickly absorbed by the plants, thus the effects are visible within a short time of the application.
HOW TO USE:
Supplementing should be continued until satisfactory results are achieved. Recommended parallel use with AF Micro, AF PO4 Boost, and AF N Boost. Absorbents such as zeolite and/or carbon may reduce effectiveness of the formula.
1 ml in 10 l of aquarium water will raise levels:
K Potassium 3,8 mg/l | AF N Boost (200ml)
Professional easily absorbable nitrogen fertilizer for aquatic plants. Nitrogen is one of the most important macronutrients necessary for plants. The presence of nitrogen influences the growth of the plant, its propagation, and the green coloration of leaves. Proper supplementation of nitrogen is essential as both deficiency and excess may be detrimental to plants. Nitrogen deficiency causes growth inhibition, chlorosis and yellowing of the leaves, and further browning. The excess, on the other hand, is manifested by excessive growth, dark green leaves, while the plant is very delicate and less resistant to mechanical damage. The appropriate level of nitrate in the plant aquarium should be 10-20 mg/l. Nitrogen is absorbed by plants mainly in the form of nitrate and ammonium. AF N Boost contains mineral nitrogen forms that are well absorbed by aquatic plants.
HOW TO USE:
10 ml of AF N Boost dissolved in 100 l of water raises the nitrate level by 9.5 mg/l. Recommended parallel use with AF Micro, AF PO4 Boost, and AF K Boost. Do not use it with other nitrogen-containing formulas due to the risk of plant overgrowth and algae bloom.
1 ml in 10 l of aquarium water will raise levels:
NO3 Nitrate 9,5 mg/l (ppm)
