PO4 Boost 2000ml – liquid phosphorus

Aquaforest PO4 Boost is a liquid phosphorus fertilizer for planted freshwater aquariums, intended for keepers whose water tests show low phosphate. It is dosed by water volume, so it suits tanks where phosphate is the limiting nutrient for plant growth.

Why it matters

• Phosphorus is a component of proteins, enzymes and DNA, and it acts as the main energy carrier within plant cells.
• Phosphorus deficiency shows up as slowed growth and development and as discolored leaves, which makes it a visible signal to check.
• The product is formulated as an easily absorbed form of phosphorus, so plants can use it directly from the water column.
• Known dosing is 10 ml per 100 l of water, which raises phosphate by 0.4 mg/l, giving a predictable adjustment step.

What it works with

This fertilizer is designed for freshwater planted aquariums within the CO2 and fertilization category. Dosing should be matched to tank volume and the phosphate level measured by test. Zeolite and/or activated carbon can reduce its effectiveness, and excess phosphate can encourage algae growth, especially red algae, so levels should be monitored.
