Full details

NT Labs Plantus is a comprehensive liquid fertiliser designed for aquarists looking to optimize the growth and health of their freshwater aquatic plants. It provides a balanced blend of macro and micronutrients based on the Estimative Index concept, making it an excellent choice for hobbyists who want to ensure their plants receive abundant nutrition for lush, vibrant development. While it is highly effective at boosting plant health, it is important to note that consistent dosing and adequate lighting are required to see optimal results, as it is not a standalone solution for neglected tanks.

Troubleshooting

Check your aquarium lighting duration and intensity; ensure you are performing regular weekly water changes to refresh the environment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using NT Labs Plantus, ensure your aquarium has a stable filtration system. Determine whether you will follow a daily or weekly dosing schedule based on your tank's plant density. If you are using a CO2 system, you may find that your plants consume these nutrients more rapidly, necessitating closer monitoring of plant health.

Compatibility:

  • Fish: Fully safe for all tropical and coldwater fish.
  • Invertebrates: Safe for shrimp and snails.
  • Filter: No impact on biological filter health.

Care Instructions:

  • Keep the bottle stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Shake well before each use to ensure the nutrient solution is properly mixed.
  • Close the cap tightly after each application to prevent evaporation or contamination.
