Nitrate-free iron and trace elements for the flora of freshwater tanks

The eSHa PRO-PHYLL aquarium plant fertiliser supplies iron and trace elements to the plants in ornamental freshwater tanks. Its nitrate-free formula avoids adding nitrogen, which algae would benefit from. The dose is 20 drops per 100 litres, once a week, so the 20 ml bottle lasts 20 weeks on a 100 litre tank.

This dropper bottle feeds the plants in a freshwater aquarium. It supplies the iron and trace elements that submerged plants use up between water changes, and its formula contains no nitrates, which avoids adding nitrogen that algae would benefit from as much as the plants. Reach for it when growth slows or when the leaves turn pale.

🍃 The weekly dose of 20 drops

The dose is 20 drops per 100 litres, once a week, and 20 drops equal 1 ml. Count the actual volume of water rather than the volume on the box: length by width by water depth in centimetres, divided by 1,000, minus about 10% for a heavily decorated tank. Your 60-litre tank therefore receives 12 drops. The 20 ml bottle holds 20 of these doses, which is 20 weeks for a 100-litre tank.

Shrimp

Shrimps and crayfish tolerate this addition, and they stay in the tank while you dose.

Snails and mussels

Aquarium snails and freshwater mussels tolerate it too, and they do not have to leave the tank.

Frogs

Aquatic frogs tolerate it too, just like the fish, the plants and the filter bacteria.

🥬 The tank that feeds vegetables

For ornamental tanks only, not for use in aquaponics

This bottle is intended for ornamental freshwater aquariums and excludes animals raised for consumption. On a setup where you eat the fish or the vegetables, it should therefore not be added to the loop. Your plants draw their nutrients from the water leaving the fish tank, and it is the look of the leaves that tells you what to correct. The article on deficiencies shows what each one looks like, and a drop-based iron test settles the most common one in a single reading.

🔬 Carbon and the other benefits

An activated carbon placed in the filter binds some of the dissolved molecules, including the fertilisers you add for the plants. In a planted tank fed every week, it is therefore best kept for occasional situations, such as the end of a treatment, rather than being left in the filter permanently. As the formula contains no nitrates, the nitrogen your plants need comes from fish waste, which the bacteria in the filter convert into nitrates over the course of the nitrogen cycle. A lightly stocked, heavily planted tank can therefore run short of nitrogen even though iron and trace elements are covered, and it is then the growth of all the plants that slows down.

Feeding the plants in your aquarium or pond

Two fertilisers, two places where the feed settles

Are you torn between these two fertilisers? The first dissolves in the water and feeds submerged plants, while the second is pushed into the grow medium of a pot. Answer three questions and the table settles it.
