ADA - Brighty K

ADA Brighty K by Aqua Design Amano is a liquid fertilizer for aquatic plants in planted aquariums and aquascapes. This aquarium fertilizer provides the aquarium plants specifically with the vital macronutrient potassium (K).

Aquatic plants in the aquarium need potassium for smooth photosynthesis and for a normally functioning metabolism. In natural waters, potassium is available to aquatic plants in almost unlimited quantities, so the potassium value in the aquarium should never approach zero.

A potassium deficiency often becomes visible through small holes in the leaves of the plants in the aquarium. Here tissue dies selectively, which is first perceived as black dots, later as holes. Often these necroses have a yellow edge. Leaves that turn completely yellow and poor growth also indicate a potassium deficiency in the aquarium water. Nutrient deficiencies can always promote strong algae growth.

The potassium requirement of aquatic plants comes directly after the nitrogen requirement. Aquarium plants store excess potassium in their tissues. It is best to fertilize the aquarium plants in the aquascape with ADA Brighty K when the lighting is on . Then they can process the important plant nutrient best.

The alkaline liquid fertilizer ADA Brighty K provides the aquatic plants in the aquarium with the vital basic nutrient potassium. In addition, this aquarium fertilizer increases the buffering capacity of the aquarium water and thus prevents a dreaded acidity.

Attention: For aquascapes with slightly acidic and soft water or for aquariums with an already high carbonate hardness, we recommend ADA Green Brighty Neutral K as an alternative to ADA Brighty K, which does not affect the pH value and carbonate hardness.

Application: To supply the aquarium plants with sufficient potassium, add one pump stroke (equivalent to 1 ml) of Brighty K to 20 l of aquarium water daily. In well-lit, heavily planted aquascapes, the potassium requirement is often increased. In this case, you can easily increase the amount to two to three pump strokes per 20 l of aquarium water.

For better dosage, a practical dosing pump is included with the 180 ml and 300 ml bottles.
