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 2.5 mg/L (ppm) Mg Magnesium 1.2 mg/L (ppm) Important Information Do not use AF Macro alongside other complete macronutrient fertilisers. Combining multiple macronutrient formulas can lead to excessive nutrient concentrations, potentially resulting in plant overexposure and algae blooms. If additional nutrients are required, use targeted supplements such as AF N Boost, AF PO4 or AF K Boost based on your aquarium's specific needs. Also note that zeolite and/or activated carbon may reduce the effectiveness of the formula.
