Aquaforest N Boost is a liquid nitrogen fertilizer for planted aquariums where nitrogen is the limiting nutrient or where nitrate levels need to be raised in a measured way. Nitrogen drives growth, branching and leaf colour, so its supply has to be dosed carefully, because both deficiency and excess cause problems in plants.
Why it matters
- The dose is set by volume: 10 ml dissolved in 100 l of water raises nitrate by 9.5 mg/l, which makes the effect of each application easy to predict.
- It supplies mineral nitrogen in nitrate and ammonium forms, the two forms aquarium plants take up directly.
- The recommended nitrate range for a planted tank is 10-20 mg/l, and the dosing figure allows you to bring the water into that range step by step.
- The manufacturer recommends using it alongside AF Micro, AF PO4 Boost and AF K Boost, so that nitrogen is balanced with phosphate, potassium and micronutrients.

What it works with
It is intended for freshwater planted aquariums, where it works best as part of a full fertilization routine together with the Aquaforest AF Micro, PO4 Boost and K Boost products. Do not combine it with other nitrogen-containing fertilizers, as this raises the risk of plant overfertilization and algae blooms.

Frequently asked questions
Too little nitrogen slows growth and causes yellowing leaves (chlorosis), later turning brown. Too much causes fast growth, very dark green leaves, and more fragile plants that are more easily damaged mechanically.
The dose is 10 ml per 100 litres of water, which raises nitrates by about 9.5 mg/l. The supplier gives 10–20 mg/l as the appropriate nitrate level for a planted aquarium.
At 10 ml per 100 litres, the 250 ml bottle covers 25 such doses. Each dose adds about 9.5 mg/l of nitrates to 100 litres of water.
It contains mineral forms of nitrogen, nitrate and ammonium, which the manufacturer says aquarium plants absorb well. Plants take up nitrogen mainly in these two forms.
The supplier recommends using it together with AF Micro, AF PO4 Boost and AF K Boost. Do not combine it with other products containing nitrogen, because of the risk of overfertilization and algae blooms.
