Potassium phosphate (KH2PO4)
Aim for a phosphate level of 0.5-1.5 ppm. If a water test shows a high level, change some of the aquarium water. If it is low, add phosphate.
Adjust the dose to suit your plants, lighting and CO2 level.
Instructions for use:
Dissolve 4 grams of KH2PO4 in 500 ml of warm (preferably reverse osmosis) water. A dose of 10 ml per 100 litres raises phosphate by approximately 0.5 ppm and the potassium content by 0.2 ppm.
EC fertiliser. Compound fertiliser PK 52-34.
