Nitrogen in the form of oxygen compounds (NOx) or hydrogen compounds (amines - NH2) have essential functions in an organism, such as in protein metabolism. Whereas it is more common to find an excess of nitrogen in aquariums with larger fish populations which, in turn, can lead to algae growth, nitrates are often in scarce supply in planted aquariums due to consumption by the aquatic plants. This limits growth in the tank. JBL ProScape N Macroelements supplies the tank water with nitrogen in the form of ammonium salts and nitrate salts. As a result, the aquatic plants obtain the supply of nitrogen they require. Potassium and calcium are also added to the water at the same time.
1 ml JBL ProScape N Macroelements cotains
100 mg nitrogen (carbamide nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen)
25 mg potassium
8.5 mg calcium
2.5 mg magnesiumDosage JBL ProScape N Macroelements
The normal dosage is 2 ml per 100 litres of aquarium water for very well-lit tanks. For not so well-lit tanks the dosage is 1 ml per 100 litres of aquarium water. Please check the consumption of the nutriens regularly with a nitrate test.Healthy plant growth is based on the following three main pillars: A supply of light, a supply of CO2 and an adequate and optimal supply of mineral nutrients. The supply of nutrients is described by Liebigs Law of the Minimum. According to this concept, the nutrient which is available in the minimum amount limits the growth of plants regardless of whether it is a microelement or a macroelement. Microelements are trace elements which plants need in small amounts, whereas macroelements are used for growth in larger amounts. In a well-planted aquarium, both microelements and macroelements are consumed in large amounts. Particularly when the fish population is small, the microelements, as well as the macroelements of nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium, quickly drop down to the minimum.
The following levels should be maintained for well-lit planted aquariums:
CO2: 20-35 mg/l
Nitrate nitrogen (NO3): 10-30 mg/l
Potassium (K): 10-30 mg/l
Phosphate (PO4): 0.1-1.5 mg/l
Iron (Fe): 0.1-0.5 mg/l
Magnesium (Mg): 5-10 mg/l - Accessories for this article:
