Planted aquariums require precise nutrition to achieve lush, vibrant growth and prevent unsightly algae blooms. Our collection of premium liquid fertilizers, root tablets, and specialized nutrients provides essential macro (N, P, K) and micro nutrients tailored to your aquascape's demands.


Optimal root feeding The Easy-Life Root Sticks are ideal to feed plants directly at the roots. The product contains 25 pieces of special clay sticks that are very nutritious and have a high iron content. Due to the special pre-treatment of these sticks, they do not fall apart immediately upon contact with water. The release of nutrients goes very gradually over a period of several weeks. The water will not get cloudy at all, so algae cannot take advantage of that. The product is very easy to use and causes no additional water pollution. Use these root sticks for plants with a strong need for root nutrition such as Cryptocoryne, Echinodorus or Lotus. If the soil layer is very narrow or the plant roots are small, the sticks can be very easily broken into smaller pieces. The root sticks can therefore be used in all cases. How to use: Determine dosage: Use one root stick for every 15 square centimeters (approx. 6 square inches) of substrate area. Break sticks if needed: For smaller plants or shallow substrate, break the sticks into smaller pieces. Insert into substrate: Place the stick directly into the substrate near the base of the plant's roots.

Why APT? * In terms of the relative amount of nitrogen vs. other nutrients per ml. ^ In terms of the amount of magnesium per ml. The EI (Estimative Index) approach pioneered by Tom Barr is designed to provide an unlimited, unconstrained amount of nutrients to plants based on an estimated index of their needs. APT e (Estimative Index) provides a carefully calibrated version of this approach to deliver richer coloration and superior algae control. Guaranteed Analysis: Nutrient Value Total Nitrogen (N) 2.0% (2.0% Nitrate Nitrogen) Available Phosphoric Acid (P₂O₅) 1.37% Soluble Potash (K₂O) 8.0% Magnesium (Mg) 1.60% Iron (Fe) 0.16% (0.16% Chelated Iron) Derived from: Potassium Sulfate, Potassium Phosphate, Potassium Chloride, Magnesium Nitrate, Magnesium Sulfate, DTPA Iron, EDTA Iron, and EDDHA Iron.


Why APT? * In terms of total soluble elemental fertilizer per ml. ^ In terms of the amount of potassium per ml. APT 1 replicates APT 3's winning formula without nitrates and phosphates. This provides maximum algae control for new tanks (we recommend starting all tanks with APT 1 for the first 1–3 months) and optimal long-term performance for tanks with higher fish populations, where fish food and waste already supply natural phosphates and nitrates. Guaranteed Analysis: Nutrient Value Soluble Potash (K₂O) 5.5% Magnesium (Mg) 0.85% Iron (Fe) 0.1% (0.1% Chelated Iron) Derived from: Potassium Sulfate, Potassium Chloride, Magnesium Sulfate, DTPA Iron, EDTA Iron, and EDDHA Iron.


Why APT? * In terms of total soluble elemental fertilizer per ml. ^ In terms of the relative ratio of nitrogen vis-à-vis other nutrients per ml. APT's concentrated yet calibrated Capstone Formula allows you to grow the hobby's most demanding plants, and also enjoy everyday magic in the simplest tank. Provides 100% comprehensive NPK, Macro, Micro & Trace elements. Guaranteed Analysis: Nutrient Value Total Nitrogen (N) 0.75% (0.75% Nitrate Nitrogen) Available Phosphoric Acid (P₂O₅) 0.69% Soluble Potash (K₂O) 4.52% Magnesium (Mg) 1.10% Iron (Fe) 0.12% (0.12% Chelated Iron) Derived from: Potassium Sulfate, Potassium Phosphate, Potassium Chloride, Magnesium Nitrate, Magnesium Sulfate, DTPA Iron, EDTA Iron, and EDDHA Iron.
Sought-after, high-quality supplies hand-selected by our staff.
To grow healthy, green, and red aquatic plants, a balanced supply of light, carbon dioxide (CO2), and nutrients is required. If one of these components is missing, plant growth halts, and opportunistic algae will take over. Choosing the right fertilizer is vital to maintaining the delicate balance of your aquatic ecosystem.
Plants consume nutrients in varying quantities. Macronutrients are nutrients that plants require in large amounts. These include Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), and Potassium (K). On the other hand, Micronutrients are trace elements needed in smaller quantities, with Iron (Fe), Magnesium (Mg), and Manganese (Mn) being some of the most critical.
For high-tech planted aquariums (with intense light and CO2), we recommend daily liquid dosing of macro and micro nutrients alternatively. For low-tech setups, a weekly dosage of comprehensive all-in-one liquid fertilizers like ADA Brighty K or APT Complete after water changes is highly effective.
Fragile items are packed with double-wall insulation to ensure safe arrival.
