Find a productProduct description
Aquaforest Macro 250 ml is a fertilizer for aquarium owners who keep live plants and need to supply the main macronutrients directly to the water. It is a balanced mix of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and magnesium, meant as the core product in a plant fertilization routine.
Why it matters
- Contains nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and magnesium, the four macronutrients that plants use to build cell structures, proteins and enzymes.
- Growth problems such as stunted growth, weak shoots and discoloured leaves are signs of a macronutrient deficiency, and this product is intended to prevent them.
- The recommended dose is 5 ml per 100 l of water, applied twice a week, which makes the dosing easy to calculate for any tank volume.
- The manufacturer recommends using it together with Aquaforest Micro, which supplies the trace elements.

What it works with
The product is designed for planted freshwater aquariums and is used alongside Aquaforest Micro. Do not add other preparations containing macronutrients at the same time, because this raises the risk of overfertilization and algae blooms. Zeolite and/or activated carbon in the filter can reduce its effectiveness. If a plant shows a higher need for a specific nutrient, Aquaforest N Boost, PO4 and K Boost can be used as additional supplements.

Frequently asked questions
It contains nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and magnesium, which are the main building-block elements plants need for cell structures, proteins and enzymes. The mix is described as balanced for healthy plant growth.
The recommended dose is 5 ml per 100 litres of water, applied twice a week. The 250 ml bottle is sized for regular dosing of planted tanks.
It is recommended to use it alongside AF Micro. Do not combine it with other products containing macronutrients, because this raises the risk of overfertilization and algae blooms.
Yes. Absorbents such as zeolite and/or carbon may reduce the effectiveness of this fertilizer.
A shortage usually causes stunted growth, weak shoots and discoloured parts of the plant. Excess can cause overgrowth and, with too much nitrogen, dark green leaves, and the plant becomes weak and more prone to damage.
