Aquaforest K Boost is a liquid potassium fertilizer for planted aquariums where potassium is running low. It suits keepers who see yellowing leaf edges or tips and want a dosed correction that plants can take up quickly.
Why it matters
- Potassium is a structural component of plant tissue and activates a number of enzymes involved in plant metabolism.
- It regulates osmotic balance and supports the movement of compounds within the plant.
- The product is easily assimilated, so visible results can appear after a short period of use.
- Dosing is predictable: 10 ml per 100 l raises potassium by 0.4 mg/l, which makes it simple to calculate a correction for a given tank volume.

What it works with
K Boost is intended for planted aquariums, where it is used alongside Aquaforest AF Micro, AF PO4 Boost and AF N Boost. Supplementation should continue until the desired plant response is achieved. Zeolite and activated carbon can reduce the effectiveness of the product, so they should be taken into account when planning the filtration setup.
