What are Micro Fertilizers?
Micro fertilizers (also known as trace elements) provide essential nutrients that plants need in smaller quantities but are just as vital for healthy growth. These include Iron (Fe), Boron (B), Manganese (Mn), Zinc (Zn), Copper (Cu), and Molybdenum (Mo). These elements support everything from enzyme function and chlorophyll production to disease resistance and nutrient absorption.
Even though they are needed in smaller doses, the absence or imbalance of these nutrients can lead to visible plant health issues like pale leaves, twisted growth, and overall decline in vitality.
Recommended Dosage:
Our micro fertilizer is formulated using high-quality individual salts and chelated forms for better stability and absorption. The recommended dosage is:
1 ml per 10 liters of aquarium water, dosed 3 times a week on alternate days
For low-tech tanks (low light, no CO₂): start with 0.5 ml per 10 liters
For high-tech tanks (high light, CO₂ injected): use 1 ml per 10 liters
Apply on days opposite to macro fertilizer dosing to maintain a consistent supply of all nutrients without overlap.
Adjusting Based on Tank Conditions:
Observe your plants regularly. If you notice pale new growth, slow development, or distorted leaves, it could be a sign of micro nutrient deficiency, increase the dosage slightly. If algae starts to appear or water clarity decreases, reduce the dose until balance is restored.
Micro nutrients are powerful even in small amounts, so fine-tuning the dosage based on your tank’s needs is key.
Weekly Maintenance:
As with macros, weekly water changes of 30–50% are important to reset the nutrient levels and prevent any trace element buildup. Clean, fresh water helps plants absorb micro nutrients more efficiently and keeps your aquatic ecosystem balanced.
Storage Recommendations:
To preserve the quality and effectiveness of your micro fertilizer, store it in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat. Light exposure especially sunlight can break down sensitive chelated nutrients like iron, reducing their availability to plants. Always keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use and avoid contamination by using clean tools during dosing.
