Do I need to turn off my UV sterilizer when dosing?

Troubleshooting
Plants are still showing nutrient deficiencies
Check your lighting duration and CO2 levels, as these are necessary for the plants to successfully uptake the nutrients provided by the fertiliser.
Algae growth is increasing despite regular dosing
Review your feeding habits and water change schedule to ensure that nitrates and phosphates are not accumulating from other sources, such as overfeeding or decaying debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, use a dosage of 10 ml of Ferropol for every 40 litres of aquarium water. It is important to measure your aquarium water volume accurately before dosing. The product is fully compatible with all freshwater fish, shrimp, and crayfish. For long-term care, ensure that your tank lighting and CO2 levels are appropriately calibrated, as Ferropol works as a catalyst in conjunction with these factors. Store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the trace elements. Always close the cap tightly after each use to prevent contamination.
