Potassium (K) is a one of the macro nutrients (NPK) which is vital to abundant plant growth. When insufficient, leaves are yellow and unhealthy. Full 3x per week dosing with LCA Potassium will provide enough nutrient to maintain powerful growth in a planted aquarium.
INSTRUCTION: Dosage rate for 100L Tank
SHAKE WELL BEFORE USE
Use 1 pump (2ml) per 100L, 3x per week with 50% weekly water change.
• For HIGH LIGHT tanks with injected CO2, dense plant mass and good flow - instead use 3 pumps per 100L, 3x per week (maximum dosage) with 50% weekly water change.
• For LOW LIGHT tanks, dose the normal amount but only 1-2 times per week.'
*Amounts above are for reference only. Your planted aquarium may need more or less depending on many factors
WARNING: 3 PUMPS PER 100L IS THE MAXIMUM DOSAGE. DO NOT OVERDOSE
Analysis
3 pumps (6ml) in 100l yields
Potassium (K) - 7.5ppm
Nitrogen (N)- 0.55ppm
Sulphar (S)- 1.05ppm
Target ranges in parts per million (ppm) from low light to high light planted tank respectively.
Nitrate (NO3) range 7.5-30 ppm
Potassium (K) range 7.5-30 ppm
Phosphate (PO4) range 2.5-6 ppm
Iron (Fe) range 0.5-1.5ppm (or higher in some cases)
**It's important to note that these are equivalent weekly doses. For example, to achieve 20-30ppm nitrate you would dose All-in-One Fertiliser 3-4x per week.**

Drip acclimation is a method used to gradually introduce aquatic animals, such as shrimp, snails, and fish, to their new tank environment after transport. It helps them adjust to the water parameters and temperature differences between the transport bag and the tank. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to drip acclimate your aquatic animals:
Step 1: Prepare the necessary materials
Clean bucket or container large enough
Airline tubing
Air pump (optional but recommended)
Adjustable valve or knot (to regulate the flow of water) or get a abquatics drip kit
Clean, dechlorinated water (ideally matching the temperature and pH of your tank)
Step 2: Set up the drip acclimation system
Fill a clean bucket or container with the clean, dechlorinated water.
Attach one end of the airline tubing to an air pump (if using) and place the other end inside the bucket. Make sure it reaches the bottom of the container.
Step 3: Start the drip
Open the bag containing the aquatic animals and carefully pour the entire contents into the bucket, including the water from the transport bag.
Start a siphon by sucking on the free end of the airline tubing or use a siphon starter. This will initiate a slow drip of water into the bucket.
Step 4: Adjust the drip rate
Use an adjustable valve or tie a knot in the airline tubing to regulate the drip rate. Aim for approximately 2-4 drips per second.
The slow drip helps gradually mix the water in the bucket with the water from the transport bag, preventing any sudden changes in water parameters.
Step 5: Monitor the process
Keep an eye on the acclimation process and periodically test the water parameters in the bucket using a test kit. This helps ensure a smooth transition.
Depending on the sensitivity of the animals and the water parameters involved, the acclimation process may take anywhere from 30 minutes to a few hours.
Step 6: Adjust water volume if needed
If the water volume in the bucket becomes too high, you can remove some water and continue the drip acclimation process with fresh, dechlorinated water. Be cautious not to remove too much water, as it can lead to sudden changes in water parameters.
Step 7: Transfer the animals to the tank
Once the acclimation process is complete, gently net the aquatic animals from the bucket and transfer them to the tank. Avoid adding the water from the acclimation container to the tank to prevent any potential contamination.
Step 8: Dispose of the acclimation water
After transferring the animals, discard the acclimation water from the bucket. Do not pour it directly into any drains or natural bodies of water.
By following these steps, you can safely and gradually acclimate your shrimp, snails, and fish to their new tank environment after transport. Remember, it's important to monitor the process closely and make adjustments as necessary to ensure a smooth transition for your aquatic pets.
