Plant Care NPK Dennerle

The supplement of N = nitrogen (nitrate) and P = phosphorus (phosphate) is not necessary in normal aquariums, since these components usually arrive sufficiently or even in large quantities via the fodder. 

The situation is different for aquariums from Aquascaping. They require a high supply of nutrients for the following reasons, among others:

• Dense planting
• Many fast-growing plant species
• Lots of light (> 1 watt per litre of aquarium water)
• CO2 fertilizers
• 30-50% partial water change per week
• No or few fish (but rather shrimps or snails).

The NPK fertilizer provides nitrate, phosphate and potassium in a biologically sound way. The nutrients in the NPK fertilizer, but especially the three main components, have been perfectly dosed so that they can be assimilated evenly by the plants. This means that during regular and long-term use, there can be no deficiencies due to unequal proportions of substances.

Use

After changing the water, apply NPK fertilizer to a well-brewed area of the aquarium. Screw the lid back on after use (do not rinse with aquarium water).

We recommend checking the nitrate and/or phosphate content of the aquarium water regularly.
