Tropica Single Pot Anubias barteri Plant (Nana) Live aquatic plant in pot, packed in a breathable blister packaging to go. Anubias barteri var. nana is a small, attractive plant which thrives in all conditions. It originates from Cameroon and will reach 5-10 cm height. The rhizome will be 10-15 cm or more. It grows slowly, and the leaves survive for several years, giving slow-growing algae the chance to become established. The best result is achieved by planting on a stone or tree root. Fishing line can be used to attach the plant until it gains a hold. If planted on the bottom the rhizome must not be covered because it tends to rot. It flowers frequently under water. It is not eaten by herbivorous fish.

Tropica Specialized Fertilizer contains nitrogen and phosphor for fast-growing and demanding plantsFeatures Contains nitrogen and phosphor for fast-growing and demanding plants Also contains iron, manganese and vital micro nutrients Suitable for aquariums with many and fast-growing plants DirectionsSpecialized Nutrition is added each week when the water is changed. The pump bottle dispenses 2 mL per push.We recommend 6 mL (3 pumps) per 50 L water weekly. However, we recommended that this is set in accordance with plant requirements. Specialized Nutrition contains, in addition to micro-nutrients, all essential macro-nutrients. The fertiliser is particularly suitable where plants display a lack of nutrition. However note that if algae growth starts, Specialized Nutrition will promote this growth.Tropica Specialized Nutrition contains nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P). Dosage must therefore be adapted to plant absorption rates, to avoid undesirable algae growth. Where signs of algae growth develop, reduce the dosage by 50% and increase water changing frequency by 50%. Changing the water not only reduces the concentration of nutrients in the water, but also removes algae spores, remnants and other accumulated elements from the aquarium water.

Tropica Aquarium Soil - 9 Litre Tropica Aquarium Soil is a complete gravel for freshwater aquariums and planted tanks which can be used without the need of any other types of bottom layers.The grain size of Tropica Soil is 2-3 mm which makes it easy for plantingThe composition of Aquarium Soil ensures proper growth and stimulates red colors. How to Use Tropica Aquarium Soil Aquarium Soil ensures good and active growth from the beginning, and boosts the red plant shades. It is a complete substrate, which can be used without any other types of bottom layer.Aquarium Soil is further an active bottom layer that lowers the pH value and slightly affects the water chemistry. We recommend that you change 25-50% of the water min. twice a week during the first 4 weeks after establishing the aquarium. How do I calculate the quantity of Tropica Soil or Soil Powder needed for my tank? Measure your tank's length and width in cm, for example 90 x 60 cm. Consider the thickness of the bottom layer you want, e.g. 8 cm. Make the layer thicker towards the rear wall for a great visual effect! The calculation to do is length x width x layer divided by 1000. In our example, 90 x 60 x 8/1000 = 43,2 L Soil/Soil Powder needed.

Premium Nutrition without nitrogen and phosphor is ideal for aquariums with many fishFeatures Contains iron, manganese and vital micro nutrients Does not contain nitrogen and phosphor Suitable for aquariums with few or slow-growing plants and many fish DirectionsTropica Premium Nutrition is added every week when changing the water. The pump bottle dispenses 2 mL per push. We recommend 6 mL (3 pumps per 50 L water per week), but recommend that this is set in accordance with plant requirements. For example, pale leaves often indicate lack of nutrition, but can also be due to poor growth. Echinodorus bleheri will often show lack of micro-nutrients. Regular dosing with Premium Nutrition can restore green and luxuriant leaves. Note, however, that Premium Fertiliser is a fertiliser and not a medicine for dying plants.It is recommended that minimum 25% of the aquarium water is changed every second week. If undesirable algae growth does occur, then we recommend increasing water change frequency (up to 50%) and planting additional rapid growth water plants such as Hygrophila, Vallisneria and Egeria.

Tropica Specialized Fertilizer contains nitrogen and phosphor for fast-growing and demanding plantsFeatures Contains nitrogen and phosphor for fast-growing and demanding plants Also contains iron, manganese and vital micro nutrients Suitable for aquariums with many and fast-growing plants DirectionsSpecialized Nutrition is added each week when the water is changed. The pump bottle dispenses 2 mL per push.We recommend 6 mL (3 pumps) per 50 L water weekly. However, we recommended that this is set in accordance with plant requirements. Specialized Nutrition contains, in addition to micro-nutrients, all essential macro-nutrients. The fertiliser is particularly suitable where plants display a lack of nutrition. However note that if algae growth starts, Specialized Nutrition will promote this growth.Tropica Specialized Nutrition contains nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P). Dosage must therefore be adapted to plant absorption rates, to avoid undesirable algae growth. Where signs of algae growth develop, reduce the dosage by 50% and increase water changing frequency by 50%. Changing the water not only reduces the concentration of nutrients in the water, but also removes algae spores, remnants and other accumulated elements from the aquarium water.
