Product Information

Full details

Tropica Specialised Nutrition is a premium all-in-one liquid fertiliser designed for aquarists managing heavily planted tanks with low fish stocking levels. It provides a comprehensive blend of essential micro and macro nutrients—including nitrogen, phosphorus, and ammonium—that are critical for the vigorous development of fast-growing aquatic plants. While it simplifies the fertilization process, users should monitor their aquarium closely, as an oversupply of nutrients may trigger algae growth if not balanced correctly with plant absorption rates.

FAQs

How much does one pump dispense?

Each push of the pump head dispenses 2ml of liquid fertiliser.

What is the recommended starting dose?

The recommended starting dose is 10ml per 100L of aquarium water, administered on a weekly basis.

Why does this formula contain ammonium?

Ammonium is included as a highly efficient nitrogen source that fast-growing aquatic plants can absorb directly and easily.

Should I use this if I have a lot of fish?

No, this product is specifically formulated for tanks with few fish where nutrient depletion is a concern. High fish loads typically provide enough nitrogen and phosphorus through waste.

What should I do if I see algae?

If algae appear, reduce your weekly dosage by 50% and perform more frequent water changes to remove excess nutrients and spores.

Troubleshooting

Visible algae growth on leaves or glass

Reduce the dosage by 50% immediately and increase the frequency of your water changes to export excess nutrients.

Plants showing signs of nutrient deficiency

Verify your water flow ensures the fertiliser reaches all areas of the tank and consider slightly increasing the weekly dose.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Comprehensive nutrient profile for high-demand aquariums
  • Easy-to-use pump bottle for consistent dosing
  • Ideal for heavily planted tanks with few fish
  • Supports rapid growth in demanding aquatic species

Cons

  • Requires careful observation to prevent algae outbreaks
  • Not intended for aquariums with high fish density
  • Dosing must be manually adjusted based on plant health

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using the fertiliser, ensure your aquarium has a stable CO2 supply if necessary, as high-growth plants require more than just nutrients to thrive. The standard starting dosage is 10ml per 100L of aquarium water on a weekly basis.

  1. Calculate your total water volume.
  2. Dispense the required number of pumps directly into the water column, preferably in an area with good flow.
  3. Monitor your plants and algae levels over the next 7 days.
  4. Adjust dosage up or down depending on how your specific plant species respond.

Keep the bottle stored in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to maintain the stability of the nutrients.
