ECA Plus is a liquid iron supplement from ADA, intended for planted aquariums where new shoots lose their colour or older leaves fade. It is dosed by the drop, so one 50 ml bottle covers routine weekly use in tanks of different sizes.
Why it matters
- Iron for pigment production: the iron content supports the formation of pigments involved in photosynthesis, such as chlorophyll.
- Prevents bleaching: it is designed to stop new buds from turning pale and leaves from losing colour.
- Supports bacteria and enzymes: the organic acid is said to strengthen bacterial activity, and the formula activates enzymes that drive plant metabolism.
- Targeted short-term treatment: daily dosing is recommended only while new shoots are bleaching or reddish stems are losing colour, then the regular weekly schedule resumes.

What it works with
ECA Plus is intended for planted aquariums, particularly those with stem plants and species such as Eleocharis or Hygrophila-type shoots that show bleaching. The manufacturer also recommends pairing it with GREEN BRIGHTY K as a daily supplement and GREEN GAIN at water changes for slower-growing plants such as Eusteralis stellata, since ECA alone does not supply all the nutrients plants need. Water will turn brown after dosing, which is normal, and the supplier advises a 1/3 water change weekly. Do not use it in tanks with heavy algae growth.

Frequently asked questions
Use 2 drops per 5 litres of water, which is 24 drops for a 60-litre aquarium, once a week. Spread the drops with the water stream from the filter, because the liquid is denser than water.
Yes, the water turns brownish after dosing. This is normal and does not indicate a problem.
The manufacturer does not recommend using it in an aquarium where algae have grown excessively. The product itself does not cause algae growth, but excess iron can damage aquatic plants, so regular water changes of about one third per week are advised.
No, it is rich in iron but does not provide all the essential nutrients. For better results, it is recommended to combine it with other additives or liquid fertilisers, such as GREEN BRIGHTY K and GREEN GAIN, used according to their instructions.
Add 2 drops per 5 litres of water every day until the new shoots develop their normal colour, and watch them closely. Once the colour is normal, go back to the regular weekly dosage.
