This liquid phosphorus supplement is intended for planted aquariums where phosphate levels are too low for healthy plant growth. It is designed for aquarists who want to correct phosphate deficiency in a controlled, volume-based way, without guesswork.
Why it matters
- Phosphorus is part of many proteins and enzymes and forms part of DNA, so plants need a steady supply to build tissue and grow.
- Phosphorus serves as the main energy carrier and storage compound in plant cells, which links it directly to metabolic activity.
- A deficiency shows up as slower growth, poor development and discoloured leaves, so the symptoms are easy to recognise in the tank.
- The manufacturer gives a target phosphate range of 0.5–1.5 mg/l for planted aquariums, and the product is formulated to bring levels into that range.

What it works with
The product suits planted freshwater aquariums of any size, as long as the dose is calculated for the actual water volume. The manufacturer recommends using it alongside AF Micro, AF N Boost and AF K Boost. Zeolite and/or activated carbon can reduce its effectiveness, and excess phosphate may promote algae growth, especially red algae, so regular testing is necessary.

Frequently asked questions
Phosphorus is part of many proteins and enzymes, builds DNA, and serves as the main energy carrier in plant cells. A shortage shows up as slower growth and development and as discolored leaves.
The recommended phosphate level for a planted aquarium is 0.5–1.5 mg/l. The product is intended to keep phosphates within that range.
The dose is 10 ml dissolved in 100 l of water, which raises phosphate by about 0.4 mg/l. The 125 ml bottle therefore contains enough for many such doses, so calculate the amount from your tank's volume.
The manufacturer recommends using it alongside AF Micro, AF N Boost and AF K Boost. Keep in mind that zeolite and/or activated carbon in your filtration can reduce its effectiveness.
Excess phosphate can trigger algae growth, especially red algae (cyanobacteria-like red algae). Monitor phosphate levels regularly so you can adjust dosing.
