Aquaforest AF Micro 250ml is a professional freshwater planted aquarium micronutrient supplement designed to provide aquatic plants with essential bioavailable trace elements. Formulated to support healthy growth, strong colour, chlorophyll formation and proper plant development, this concentrated liquid fertiliser is ideal for planted aquariums, aquascapes, high-light systems and CO2-fertilised tanks. Micronutrients are required by aquatic plants in small amounts, but they are essential for healthy growth and long-term plant condition. Deficiencies can lead to pale leaves, chlorosis, leaf deformation, poor photosynthesis and slowed growth. Aquaforest AF Micro helps provide the important trace elements plants need to stay healthy, colourful and actively growing. Key Features Professional micronutrient supplement for freshwater planted aquariums Provides essential trace elements for aquatic plants Supports chlorophyll formation and photosynthesis Helps prevent micronutrient deficiency in planted tanks Supports healthy leaves, stronger growth and improved plant colour Useful in high-light and CO2-fertilised aquariums Ideal for heavily planted aquariums and aquascapes Recommended for use alongside AF Macro, AF Carbon Boost, AF PO4 Boost and AF N Boost Concentrated liquid formula for accurate dosing 250ml bottle, ideal for regular freshwater plant fertilisation Product Overview Aquaforest AF Micro has been developed for freshwater aquarists who want to maintain healthy aquatic plant growth through controlled micronutrient supplementation. While macro nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphate and potassium are required in larger amounts, microelements are equally important for plant metabolism, photosynthesis and strong development. This formula provides a balanced supply of trace elements that support plant health, colour and vitality. It is especially useful in heavily planted aquariums, aquascapes and high-tech planted systems where plant growth is fast and nutrient demand is high. Benefits for Planted Aquariums Aquaforest AF Micro helps support healthy plant growth by providing microelements involved in chlorophyll formation, protein biosynthesis and biochemical processes within aquatic plants. When these trace elements are lacking, plants may develop pale new growth, yellowing leaves, malformed leaves or reduced growth. Regular use of AF Micro helps maintain a more complete fertilising routine, particularly when paired with macro nutrient supplementation. It supports lush plant growth, improved colour and better overall plant condition in freshwater planted aquariums. Suitable For Aquaforest AF Micro 250ml is suitable for: Freshwater planted aquariums Aquascaped tanks High-light planted systems CO2-fertilised aquariums Heavily planted aquariums Fast-growing stem plant layouts Aquariums showing signs of micronutrient deficiency Tanks with pale, deformed or slow-growing plants Aquarists using a complete fertilising routine Planted tanks requiring controlled trace element supplementation This product is designed for freshwater planted aquarium use and should be dosed according to plant demand, aquarium size and overall fertilising routine. How to Use Shake well before use. Dose Aquaforest AF Micro directly into the aquarium in an area of good water movement. It can be used daily or once per week, depending on the fertilising routine and needs of the aquarium. Aquaforest recommends using AF Micro alongside AF Macro, AF Carbon Boost, or AF PO4 Boost and AF N Boost for a more complete planted aquarium nutrient programme. Dosing Advice Recommended dosage: 8 drops per day or 4ml per 100 litres of aquarium water once per week. Do not use at the same time as other micronutrient formulas, as this may lead to plant overexposure. Dose according to plant mass, lighting strength, CO2 use, growth rate and visible plant response. Absorbent filter media such as zeolite and activated carbon may reduce the effectiveness of the formula, so consider limiting these media when using targeted plant fertilisers. When to Use Aquaforest AF Micro is useful when: Aquatic plants need regular micronutrient supplementation Plants show signs of trace element deficiency New growth appears pale, yellow or distorted Plant growth slows despite adequate macro nutrients Maintaining high-light or CO2-injected aquascapes Running a heavily planted freshwater aquarium Using AF Macro, AF Carbon Boost, AF PO4 Boost or AF N Boost Building a complete planted aquarium fertilising routine Storage Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep at room temperature in a tightly closed container. Keep out of reach of children. This product is intended for aquarium use only and is not suitable for consumption.
