K Boost 250ml – liquid potassium

Aquaforest K Boost is a liquid potassium supplement for keepers of planted freshwater aquariums who need to correct potassium deficiency. The product is dosed in measured amounts, so the aquarist can adjust potassium levels step by step and track the response of the plants.

Why it matters

• Potassium acts as a structural component of plant tissue and as an activator of enzymes in many biochemical reactions.
• It regulates osmotic balance and supports the transport of compounds within the plant.
• Deficiency shows first as yellowing along leaf edges and leaf tips, and later as necrosis, so the symptoms are easy to recognise in the tank.
• The supplier states that plants take up the preparation quickly, so effects can appear within a short time of dosing.

What it works with

The product is intended for planted freshwater tanks where potassium is the limiting nutrient. Dosing is calculated per 100 l, so the volume of the tank determines the amount used. The supplier recommends using it alongside AF Micro, AF PO4 Boost and AF N Boost, and advises continuing supplementation until the desired result is reached. Zeolite and/or activated carbon may reduce its effectiveness, so these media should be avoided during dosing.
