Nitrogen
Nitrogen
Used in large quantities by aquatic plants, Nitrogen is one of the three main nutrients (called macro nutrients) central to plant growth. It is usable by aquatic plants in the form of Nitrate, Ammonium and Urea.
Nitrogen is one of the most basic and critical building blocks of plant protein, and is crucial for production of chlorophyll, nucleic acids and plant hormones. It is the macronutrient that is absorbed in the largest amounts by aquatic plants.
Uneaten food, animal waste and plant rests release ammonium, and filter bacteria convert it to nitrate. However, in tanks with low to medium bio-load and reasonable plant mass nitrogen typically needs to be supplemented with fertiliser. This is especially true in high-tech aquariums.
Nitrogen supply can be limited to reduce chlorophyll production, enhancing red colouration in some plants. However, this method is potentially dangerous as plant growth can also be limited, leading to plant stunting or death and subsequent algae outbreaks.
Pump dispenser included
INSTRUCTION: Dosage rate for 100L Tank
SHAKE WELL BEFORE USE
Use 1 pump (2ml) per 100L, 3x per week with 50% weekly water change.
• For HIGH LIGHT tanks with injected CO2, dense plant mass and good flow - instead use 3 pumps per 100L, 3x per week (maximum dosage) with 50% weekly water change.
• For LOW LIGHT tanks, dose the normal amount but only 1-2 times per week.'
*Amounts above are for reference only. Your planted aquarium may need more or less depending on many factors
WARNING: 3 PUMPS PER 100L IS THE MAXIMUM DOSAGE. DO NOT OVERDOSE

3 pumps in 100L yields
Nitrogen ( N ) 1.69ppm
Nitrate ( NO3) 7.50ppm
Potassium ( K ) 2.3ppm
Calcium (Ca) 1.21ppm
Target ranges in parts per million (ppm) for High Light Planted.
Nitrate (NO3) range 20-30 ppm
Potassium (K) range 15-30 ppm
Phosphate (PO4) range 2-6 ppm
Iron (Fe) range 0.5-1.5ppm (or higher in some cases)
**It's important to note that these are equivalent weekly doses. For example, to achieve 20-30ppm nitrate you would dose All-in-One Fertiliser 3-4x per week.**
