Premium Nutrition

Tropica Premium Nutrition provides a specially formulated liquid fertiliser designed to promote excellent plant growth in planted aquariums. Premium Nutrition contains iron and other important trace elements to ensure healthy plant growth and is recommended for weekly use after carrying out a 25% water change.

Premium Nutrition comes supplied in an easy to use pump bottle which dispenses 2ml per push. Tropica recommend a dose rate of 10ml per 100L of aquarium water per week, but recommend that this is set in accordance with plant requirements. For example, pale leaves often indicate lack of nutrition, but can also be due to poor growth. Echinodorus bleheri is a typical example of this and will often show lack of micro-nutrients. Regular dosing with Tropica Premium Nutrition can restore green and luxuriant leaves. Note, however, that Premium Nutrition is a fertiliser and not a medicine for dying plants.

It is recommended that minimum 25% of the aquarium water is changed every second week. If undesirable algae growth does occur, then Tropica recommend increasing water change frequency (up to 50%) and planting additional rapid growth aquarium plants such as Hygrophila, Vallisneria and Egeria.
