AF Red Boost
A specialised colour-enhancement supplement crafted for red aquatic plants in freshwater planted aquariums.
Red plants derive their vibrant shades not only from chlorophyll, but also from pigments such as xanthophylls, carotenes, anthocyanins and flavonoids. AF Red Boost is engineered to enhance these naturally occurring pigments, intensifying rich shades of orange, purple and crimson in your plant palette. The formula combines selected micronutrients and phyto‑hormones that support growth, root expansion and the development of vivid colouration, transforming red‑plant displays into striking visual features.
AF Red Boost supplies essential micronutrients—including iron, manganese, magnesium, and molybdenum—alongside growth-enhancing compounds to promote vibrant red, purple, and orange tones in aquatic plants. These nutrients support chlorophyll production, pigment synthesis, and healthy root and shoot development, ensuring red-leafed plants grow stronger, more resilient, and visually striking in any planted aquarium.
Key Benefits:
-
Strengthens and deepens the natural red, orange and purple colouration of aquatic plants.
-
Supplies targeted micro‑nutrients and plant hormones to support healthy growth and root development.
-
Ideal for planted tanks with a significant portion of red‑leafed species looking to maximise visual impact.
-
Complements standard fertilisation regimes, allowing colour‑tuned enhancement without risking nutrient imbalance.
-
Suitable for all sizes of freshwater planted aquaria.
Usage Guide:
-
In a routinely planted tank: use 4 drops per 100 L of water daily.
-
In a heavily planted red‑plant setup: use 8 drops per 100 L daily.
-
Alternatively, 1 ml per 10 L of aquarium water will raise Mg by approximately 0.28 mg/L, Mn by ~0.24 mg/L, Fe by ~0.38 mg/L and Mo by ~0.6 µg/L.
-
For best results, use alongside a comprehensive macronutrient formula (such as a full‑spectrum macro mix).
-
Note: using strong absorbent media (such as zeolite or activated carbon) shortly after dosing may reduce the effectiveness of the formula.
-
Storage: Keep in a tightly sealed container, away from direct sunlight, at room temperature, and out of reach of children.
