Make your own aquarium fertiliser:
Adding 4 ml from each bottle per 100 litres increases nutrient levels by the amounts shown below:
EC fertiliser. Mixture of micronutrients + calcium. Guaranteed contents: boron (B) 0.52% in complex form, calcium (Ca) 2.57% chelating agent EDTA, copper (Cu) chelating agent EDTA: 0.53%, iron (Fe) chelating agent EDTA: 2.10%, iron (Fe) chelating agent DTPA: 1.74%, manganese (Mn) chelating agent EDTA: 2.57%, molybdenum (Mo) in complex form: 0.13% and zinc (Zn) chelating agent EDTA: 0.53%. Low in chlorine. Stability of the chelates between pH=3.5 and pH=7.5. To be used only in case of recognised need. Do not exceed the required dose
- Dissolve 32 g of Tenso Cocktail in 500 ml of water.
- Dissolve 66 g Magnesium sulphate (MgSO4) and 28 g Potassium sulphate (K2SO4) together in a separate bottle of 500 ml.

Preparing the solution:
Dissolve the contents of the bag in 500 ml of warm water. For best results, use reverse osmosis or demineralised water.
How to use:
Start with 2 ml of this solution per 50 litres of aquarium water each week. Increase the dose gradually if your plants need more, giving them time to adapt. Check the other water parameters as you adjust the dose.
PLEASE NOTE: The products phosphate, iron, trace elements and plant fertiliser may not be mixed in one bottle. If you do this, they will bind together and these nutrients will no longer be absorbable by your plants. We recommend leaving a few hours to a day between doses of the products mentioned. This warning applies to both the powder and liquid forms.
