AquaForest AF Macro 250ml
AquaForest AF Macro is a highly concentrated, all-in-one macronutrient fertilizer designed to provide aquatic plants with the essential nutrients they need for intensive, healthy growth.
Its carefully balanced formula combines nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (NPK) with magnesium, supplying key building blocks involved in plant cell structures, proteins, enzymes and nucleic acids.
Regular use helps support vigorous plant growth, strong shoots and intense, natural plant coloration. AF Macro is particularly well suited to heavily planted aquariums with relatively few fish, where natural nutrient production may not provide sufficient macronutrients for demanding plants.
Key Features
Highly concentrated macronutrient fertilizer
Complete NPK + magnesium formula
Contains nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and magnesium
Supports intensive and healthy plant growth
Helps maintain strong plant development
Supports intense, natural plant coloration
Provides essential nutrients used in plant cell structures

Can be combined with AF Micro and AF Carbon Boost
Benefits
Complete Macronutrient SupportAF Macro provides four important plant nutrients — nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and magnesium — in one concentrated formula.
Promotes Healthy Plant GrowthMacronutrients are essential for plant development. Regular supplementation helps provide the nutrients plants need to grow vigorously and develop healthy shoots and foliage.
Supports Natural Plant ColourationA balanced supply of macronutrients helps maintain healthy plant development and supports strong, natural coloration.
Ideal for Heavily Planted AquariumsAquariums containing large amounts of aquatic plants can have a higher demand for nutrients. AF Macro is particularly useful in heavily planted setups with relatively low fish stocking.
Helps Prevent Nutrient DeficiencyInsufficient macronutrients can lead to slowed growth, weakened shoots and leaf discolouration. AF Macro helps replenish essential macronutrients and support healthy plant development.
How to Use
Dose 5 ml of AF Macro per 100 litres of aquarium water twice per week.
For best results, AquaForest recommends using AF Macro alongside AF Micro and AF Carbon Boost.
If your aquarium has a higher demand for a specific macronutrient, additional supplementation with AF N Boost, AF PO4 or AF K Boost may be used.
Dosage
Standard dosage:5 ml per 100 litres of aquarium water, twice per week.
Nutrient Increase
1 ml in 10 litres of aquarium water raises approximately:
Nutrient
Increase
NO₃ Nitrogen
5 mg/L (ppm)
P Phosphorus
0.35 mg/L (ppm)
K Potassium
