Aquavitro Activate 1L – Concentrated Phosphorus for Plant Growth
Product Overview
Aquavitro Activate 1L is a highly concentrated phosphorus supplement (6,000 mg/L P) designed to fuel healthy, vibrant growth in aquatic plants without promoting algae. As one of the three key macronutrients (NPK), phosphorus is essential for energy transfer and cellular function in aquatic flora.
Formulated with potassium salts of various phosphates, Activate also delivers a valuable source of potassium (8,800 mg/L), further supporting nutrient balance and robust plant development in both low-tech and high-tech planted aquariums.
Promote lush aquatic plant growth without algae blooms.
