LCA Low Tech Complete Fertiliser All-in-one fertiliser designed for low tech planted aquariums and nano tanks Quick Facts Type: Complete liquid fertiliser Best For: Low tech planted tanks Contains: Micro + Macro nutrients (NPK + trace) Suitable For: Nano tanks & planted aquariums Livestock Safe: Fish, shrimp, and snails Application: Pump dosing system Is this for you? ✔️ Good if: You run a low-tech planted aquarium You keep slower-growing aquatic plants You want a simple all-in-one fertiliser You keep nano tanks with limited dosing complexity ❌ Avoid if: You run a heavy CO₂ high-light system You want separate nutrient control You rarely maintain or trim plants You expect fertiliser alone to fix unhealthy plant growth Why this fertiliser? LCA Low Tech Complete is formulated specifically for lower-demand planted aquariums where plant growth is slower and nutrient uptake is more moderate. It combines both macro nutrients (Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium) and trace elements into one simple dosing solution, helping support healthy plant growth without needing multiple bottles. It is particularly suited to nano tanks, shrimp-safe planted setups, and aquariums without injected CO₂. Common mistakes Overdosing in lightly planted tanks Expecting fertiliser to fix poor lighting or poor substrate Using fertiliser without regular water changes Adding nutrients to tanks with unstable algae issues Assuming more fertiliser = faster growth Use made simple Shake bottle before use Dose according to tank size Best used with regular water changes Works well in low-light or nano planted tanks Monitor plant response and adjust if needed Pair with Low tech aquatic plants LED planted tank lighting Root tabs for heavy root feeders Stable weekly maintenance routine Planted aquarium substrate NTA Insight: Low-tech tanks usually fail from inconsistency, not lack of fertiliser. This works best when dosed lightly and regularly alongside stable lighting and maintenance. FAQ Is this safe for shrimp tanks? Yes. It is generally safe for shrimp, fish, and snails when dosed correctly. Does this contain NPK nutrients? Yes. It includes Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium, plus trace elements. Can I use this in a nano tank? Yes. It is particularly well suited for nano planted aquariums. Does this replace CO₂? No. It supports plant growth but does not replace injected CO₂ systems. How often should I dose? Follow manufacturer guidelines and adjust based on plant growth and tank conditions. .nta-product { font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.6; } .nta-title { margin-bottom: 5px; } .nta-tagline { margin-bottom: 15px; color: #666; } .nta-box { border: 1px solid #e5e5e5; border-radius: 8px; padding: 12px; margin-bottom: 12px; background: #fafafa; } .nta-warning { border-left: 4px solid #d9534f; } .nta-highlight { background: #f5f5f5; padding: 12px; border-left: 4px solid #333; border-radius: 6px; margin-bottom: 12px; } details { margin-bottom: 8px; } summary { cursor: pointer; font-weight: bold; }
