Aquaforest PO4 Boost is a liquid phosphorus supplement for aquarium plants. It is intended for planted tanks where phosphate levels fall below the recommended range, and it is dosed in measured amounts relative to water volume.
Why it matters
- Phosphorus is a component of proteins, enzymes and DNA, and it acts as the main energy carrier in plant cells.
- A phosphate deficiency shows up as slower growth and development and as discoloured leaves.
- The recommended phosphate level for a planted aquarium is 0.5–1.5 mg/l, and the product is formulated to maintain that level.
- Dosing is predictable: 10 ml dissolved in 100 l of water raises phosphate by 0.4 mg/l.

What it works with
It is designed for planted freshwater aquariums and should be dosed according to the water volume of the tank. The manufacturer recommends using it alongside AF Micro, AF N Boost and AF K Boost. Adsorbents such as zeolite and activated carbon can reduce its effectiveness, so they are best avoided in the same setup. Phosphate should be monitored, since excess can encourage algae growth, especially red algae.

Frequently asked questions
Phosphorus is part of many proteins and enzymes, helps build DNA, and serves as the main energy carrier in plant cells. A shortage shows up as slower growth and development and as discolored leaves.
Dosing is 10 ml dissolved in 100 l of water, which raises phosphate by about 0.4 mg/l. Scale the amount to your tank volume accordingly.
A proper phosphate level for a planted aquarium is 0.5–1.5 mg/l. Check your levels regularly so you stay within that range.
Absorbents such as zeolite and/or carbon can reduce the product's effectiveness. If you use them, keep an eye on your phosphate level so you know how much is actually available to the plants.
Too much phosphate can trigger algae growth, especially red algae. Monitor phosphate levels and avoid pushing them above the recommended range.
