Micro 500ml – Micronutrients

This fertiliser is intended for planted freshwater aquariums where the plants show signs of micronutrient deficiency, such as pale or deformed leaves or stunted growth. It supplies a set of trace elements in one weekly dose, so the keeper does not need to add each element separately.

Why it matters

• The formula contains copper, manganese, iron, molybdenum, zinc and boron, the trace elements the supplier lists as needed for chlorophyll formation and protein synthesis.
• According to the supplier, deficiencies of these elements disrupt photosynthesis and cause chlorosis, leaf deformation and slowed growth and development.
• The dosing is set at 3 ml per 100 L of water once a week, which gives a simple, fixed schedule to follow.
• The supplier recommends using it alongside AF Macro or AF PO4 Boost and AF N Boost, and advises against other products containing micronutrients because of the risk of overfertilisation.

What it works with

The product is designed for planted freshwater aquariums and belongs to the CO2 and fertilisation range. Its dose is calculated per 100 L, so the volume of the tank determines how much to add each week. Zeolite and/or activated carbon in the filtration can reduce its effectiveness, so the supplier advises avoiding them while it is in use.
