Potassium Phosphate 500g

Mono Potassium phosphate (KH2PO4) contains 22.8% phosphorous (P) and 28.7% potassium (K) It is used in planted aquariums and for hydroponic fertilisers Both phosphorous and potassium are macro nutrients.

Potassium (K): plants require huge amounts of potassium for growth. Important in protein synthesis, and helps plants to metabolise iron. Usually deficient in aquariums. Ideal level varies, but is around 5-10 ppm.

Phosphorus (P): helps convert light into sugars that the plants use to feed, and is an essential component of photosynthesis. Excess phosphorus without adequate light levels can contribute to algae growth. Usually present in adequate amounts in tap water, and by the addition of fish food to the tank.
