FAQs

Is NT Labs Plantus safe for my aquarium shrimp?

Yes, Plantus is designed to be safe for freshwater shrimp, snails, and all common tropical fish.

Do I need to add CO2 to use this?

No, it is effective in both tanks with and without CO2 supplementation.

How often should I use this?

It can be used as a daily or weekly fertiliser depending on your tank's specific nutrient needs and growth requirements.

Can I use this in a saltwater tank?

No, this product is specifically formulated for freshwater aquatic plants only.

Will this harm my aquarium filter?

No, the formula is safe for filters and will not negatively impact beneficial bacteria colonies.

Why is the Estimative Index method used?

The Estimative Index ensures plants have an excess of nutrients available to prevent any growth-limiting deficiencies, which maximizes development.

Troubleshooting

I don't see any improvement after one week.

Plantus typically requires up to 4 weeks of consistent dosing to show significant changes in leaf growth and health.

Algae growth has increased after starting the fertiliser.

Ensure your lighting is not on for too long (limit to 6-8 hours) and verify that you are performing consistent weekly water changes.

Pros and Cons

  • Simplifies fertilization by eliminating the need for multiple products
  • Safe for sensitive shrimp and community fish
  • Works well across a wide variety of freshwater tank setups
  • Encourages robust plant growth that outcompetes algae

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For best results, store the bottle in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight to maintain the potency of the nutrients.

  1. Shake well before every use to ensure the micronutrients are evenly distributed.
  2. Calculate dosage based on your total aquarium water volume.
  3. Add directly to the water column in an area with good circulation to ensure even distribution.
  4. Monitor your tank regularly; the product is safe for fish and shrimp, but always monitor water parameters when introducing any new additive.

It is compatible with all freshwater substrates, including inert gravel and nutrient-rich soil systems. While it does not expire quickly, ensure the cap is tightened firmly after each use to prevent evaporation or contamination.
