Aquavitro Activate 350ml – Phosphorus & Potassium for Plant Growth

Product Overview

Aquavitro Activate 350ml is a concentrated phosphorus supplement (6,000 mg/L P) designed to enhance aquatic plant growth without encouraging algae. As one of the three critical macronutrients (NPK), phosphorus supports ATP production, photosynthesis, and cellular division in aquarium plants.

Formulated with potassium salts of various phosphates, Activate also provides 8,800 mg/L of potassium, making it a dual-purpose supplement ideal for both low-tech and high-tech planted aquariums.

Ideal for correcting phosphorus deficiencies and accelerating plant growth.

Features & Benefits

High-Strength Phosphorus Formula

Contains 6,000 mg/L of phosphorus to activate key plant functions and energy transfer.

Dual Nutrient Source

Also supplies potassium (8,800 mg/L) to support root development and leaf strength.

Prevents Common Plant Deficiencies

Helps correct signs like dark, dull, or discolored older leaves, often caused by low phosphorus.

No Algae Promotion

When dosed as directed, Activate supports plant growth without encouraging algae.

Works in Balance with Synthesis

Pairs perfectly with Aquavitro Synthesis to maintain a 5:1 N:P ratio, the ideal nutrient balance for most aquatic plants.

When to Use

• Plants are stunted, discolored, or not growing well

• Older leaves are turning dark or dull (sign of phosphorus deficiency)

• To boost aquatic plant health and speed up growth

• When running a full nutrient dosing schedule for planted aquariums

How to Use (Directions)

 Standard Dosing

• Add 5 mL (half a cap) per 680 L (180 US gallons)

• Dose twice weekly or as needed

This adds:

• 0.15 mg/L phosphate

• 0.06 mg/L potassium

 Use with Aquavitro Synthesis

For ideal growth, use Activate with Aquavitro Synthesis (nitrogen source) at the same 5 mL per 680L dose to provide a balanced 5:1 nitrogen to phosphorus ratio.

 Small Tank Dosing

Use the included pipette (1 mL up to the base of the bulb) for accurate small-volume dosing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I overdose on phosphorus?

Overdosing may disrupt the nutrient balance and encourage algae. Always follow directions.

Is it safe for low-tech planted tanks?

Yes — Activate works well in CO₂-injected and non-injected aquariums alike.

Will this help with yellowing plants?

If the yellowing is due to phosphorus deficiency, yes. It may also help in combination with Synthesis (nitrogen) and other micronutrients.

Do I need to refrigerate it after opening?

No refrigeration needed. Store in a cool, dark place with the cap tightly sealed.
