Red Boost is intended for aquarists keeping red and other colourful aquarium plants who want to intensify their pigmentation. Red and purple plants need a specific feeding regime to show their natural colours, and this fertiliser is formulated to supply the nutrients involved in that colouration.
Why it matters
- Targets red, purple, orange and crimson pigments, so coloured species stand out more clearly against green plants in the same tank.
- Red plants contain carotenoids, xanthophylls, anthocyanins and flavonoids alongside chlorophyll, and the formula is aimed at these pigments rather than only general growth.
- Contains phytohormones, which support plant growth and development processes.
- Dosing scales with plant density: 4 drops per 100 l daily for moderately planted tanks, 8 drops per 100 l daily for heavily planted ones.
