Brighty K 180ml (potassium)

BRIGHTY K 180 ml is a liquid potassium supplement for planted freshwater aquariums. It is intended for aquarists whose plants show weak growth or yellowing leaves, and who want to add potassium separately from the nitrates and phosphates that the tank produces on its own.

Why it matters

• Completes the nutrient balance: Plants need nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium together to absorb them. Nitrates and phosphates build up naturally from fish waste and decaying plant matter, but potassium has to be added.
• Addresses potassium deficiency: Without enough potassium, photosynteses and growth slow down, leaves turn yellow or white, and plants become more vulnerable to algae.
• Supports root development: According to the manufacturer, potassium stimulates metabolism and root growth.
• Neutralises chlorine: Added during water changes, the product neutralises chlorine present in tap water, which can otherwise harm fish.

What it works with

BRIGHTY K is listed in the Exotic Aquatic category and is designed for planted freshwater aquariums. The daily dose scales with tank volume, so the amount is easy to calculate for tanks of different sizes. Heavily planted or densely stocked tanks need a larger dose, as stated in the dosing instructions.
