LCA Potassium Nitrate / Potassium Phosphate Combo Mix 500g

Simplify fertilising your aquarium with LCA’s Potassium Nitrate / Potassium Phosphate Combo Mix, providing essential Nitrogen (N), Potassium (K), and Sulfur (S) in one convenient formula. This combination supports healthy plant growth, vibrant colors, and strong root development without the need to dose KNO₃ and K₂SO₄ separately.

Key Benefits

• Nitrogen (N): Essential for chlorophyll production and protein synthesis

• Potassium (K): Supports iron metabolism and overall plant health

• Sulfur (S): Critical for root development and enzyme function

• Simplifies dosing: Combines KNO₃ and K₂SO₄ in one product

• Suitable for low, medium, and high light aquariums

Why Nitrogen is Vital

Nitrogen is a key macronutrient after light and CO₂. It is required for:

• Amino acids and proteins (building blocks of plant life)

• Chlorophyll production for photosynthesis

• Plant hormones and nucleic acids

In aquariums, nitrogen is sourced from:

• Fish food and fish waste

• Organic decomposition producing ammonium (NH₄⁺)

• Conversion by bacteria into nitrate (NO₃⁻) for plant absorption

• Nitrogen deficiency leads to yellowing leaves, slow growth, and sometimes reddish coloration in plants.

Dosage Instructions per 100L Tank

Standard Dosing:

• Low Light Tank: 1.5g once per week

• Medium Light Tank: 3.0g twice per week

• High Light Tank: 4.5g three times per week

• Perform 30–50% weekly water changes for optimal results.

Advanced Users:

• 2.89g per 100L will provide:

  • 7.5ppm Nitrate (NO₃⁻)

  • 12.23ppm Potassium (K)

  • Shake well and dissolve thoroughly before adding to the aquarium.

Storage & Safety

• Store in a cool, dark environment

• Keep out of reach of children
