Liquid and Supplements for Aquariums
Essential Liquids and Supplements for Aquarium Maintenance
More than living art, your aquarium is a balanced ecosystem. AFA is your trusted source for the liquid fertilizer and other supplements you need to keep it that way.
Water Conditioning
Water conditioning is vital to a healthy aquatic environment — tap water often contains chlorine and other chemicals that aren't safe for fish. A few of the benefits of water conditioners include:
- Removing chlorine and chloramines from the water so aquatic life can thrive.
- Detoxifying heavy metals like copper, zinc and lead.
- Supporting beneficial bacteria that help break down waste in the tank.
Nutrient Balancing
An aquarium's water and substrate need a careful balance of nutrients like phosphorus, nitrogen and potassium to support aquatic life. You can use liquid fertilizers and other supplements to replenish nutrients while avoiding imbalances that can lead to algae growth or nutrient deficiencies throughout the ecosystem.
Disease Prevention
Liquid supplements can support your fish's immune systems and keep your aquarium disease-free. Some of the best supplements for fish immune support and health include beta-glucans, vitamin C and garlic extract.
Aquatic Plant Fertilizer
You can enhance aquatic plant growth with liquid fertilizers. Choose a macro, micro or all-in-one formula based on your needs. For root-feeding aquatic plants, you can use a stick fertilizer and inject the fertilizer directly into the substrate for better absorption.
Algae Control
Along with good filtration and lighting, liquid solutions that contain algaecides or growth inhibitors are ideal for algae control. You can use them to keep your aquarium clear and reduce your plants' competition for nutrients — just be sure to follow the dosage instructions to protect your aquatic life.
pH Stabilization
A consistent pH is vital for a thriving aquatic ecosystem. Use pH stabilizers with strong buffering capacity and test your water regularly with reliable kits or calibrated meters to stabilize and monitor aquarium pH levels.
