NatureHolic – Phosphate Booster Fertilizer

The liquid NatureHolic Phosphate Booster with immediate effect is an aquarium fertilizer for aquascaping and for all planted aquariums. Plants need the important macro-nutrient phosphate (P) for their cell respiration and energy transfer. Aquarium plants also need phosphorus to build up their cell material.

A lack of phosphate can be recognized in aquarium plants by stunted growth and a darker coloration of the leaf tissue. This is due to the fact that sufficient chlorophyll is still produced, but the leaf area shrinks. Leaf loss, especially of older leaves, may also indicate a phosphorus deficiency in the aquarium.

If nutrient gaps develop in the aquarium, these are preferentially used by algae for strong reproduction. If the aquatic plants in the aquascape no longer grow vital due to a phosphate deficiency, it can therefore lead to an algae plague in the aquarium.

With the NatureHolic Phosphate Booster phosphate fertilizer for the aquarium, the plants can grow properly again and fully develop their new leaves. The leaf tissue becomes stronger, the growth vital again. The nutrients in all our NatureHolic aquascaping fertilizers are bound in such a way that, when dosed correctly, they are absolutely harmless to fish and all invertebrates in the aquarium – sensitive shrimps included – . The stabilization of the nutrients in NatureHolic Phosphate Booster makes it very easy for aquarium plants to absorb the important plant nutrient phosphate from the water through their leaf tissue.

For environmental and sustainability reasons, we deliberately omit unnecessary fragrances and colorants from our NatureHolic aquarium fertilizers. Our high-yielding,  high-quality and well-tolerated NatureHolic aquascaping fertilizers are characterized by their high effectiveness.

Dosage: NatureHolic Phosphate Booster is best dosed as a daily fertilizer. Aquariums with strong light and with a CO2 fertilization receive per 100 liters per day 2 ml Phosphate Booster, without CO2 supply 0.5 ml. Aquariums with medium strong light with CO2 fertilization receive 1 ml, without CO2 supply 0.25 ml. Low light aquariums do well with CO2 fertilization with 0.5 ml, without CO2 supply with 0.1 ml Phosphate Booster.

Please note: These dosage recommendations are guideline values, which should be individually adjusted to the aquarium upwards or downwards if necessary . If the phosphate value in the aquarium increases too much according to the water test, the fertilizer quantity should be reduced accordingly. A target value of approx. 0.1-0.4 mg phosphate per liter aquarium water should be reached after fertilization. We recommend a weekly water change of approx. 25-70% in the aquarium, so that no nutrient peaks form in the aquarium water, which can promote the formation of algae.

We recommend the use together with the other Macro-nutrient fertilizers products from NatureHolic and the Complete iron fertilizer so that the plants in the aquascape or planted aquarium are supplied with everything they need.
