A comprehensive answer to this question cannot be provided, as this would require a comprehensive analysis of the water, the fertilisation, lighting and the carbon dioxide supply, plus regular water care. _x000D_ _x000D_ Although algae can be attributed to an excess of nutrients - particularly phosphate and nitrate in this case, - in many cases, they are also the result of a lack of so-called micronutrients, of which iron is the best known. Very often, this is the deeper cause of the algae problem. _x000D_ _x000D_ When algae growth occurs, it is generally highly advisable to increase the amount and frequency of water changes, make sure there is a sufficient supply of fast-growing plants and fertilise these with JBL Ferropol or JBL Ferropol 24 in accordance with the instructions. _x000D_
All the ornamental plant fertilisers already mentioned contain copper, which is usual in good trace element fertilisers for aquariums. Copper is an essential trace element for plants and animals. _x000D_ _x000D_ For shrimps, other decapods and some other animal groups copper is a central atom of the blood pigment haemocyanin, and thus essential for transporting oxygen inside the animal. _x000D_ _x000D_ The concentration in JBL PROFLORA FERROPOL, JBL PROFLORA FERROPOL 24 und JBL ProScape Fe +Microelements is so designed that all trace elements are available in the required quantities. Not even multiple fertiliser overdosing can harm the shrimps and other decapods.
The bottle of JBL Ferropol is not worthless. Please shake the bottle prior to using the fertilizer and apply it the same way you did in the past. _x000D_ _x000D_ Our fertilizer has a relatively high concentration, so that individual nutrient salts may form crystals in exceptional cases. As soon as they are in the tank water, they dissolve again and are then as effective as before. The chelated fertilizer components are not affected by this._x000D_
Generally, one should never change plant fertilizers abruptly. The fertilizers from different manufacturers have somewhat different compositions in terms of trace elements. This may cause temporary nutrient changes. It is best to change over in 3 steps: _x000D_ _x000D_ 1) Reduction of the old fertilizer by 1/3; replace this with 1/3 of the new fertilizer. Wait approx. 3-4 weeks and observe the reaction of the plants. _x000D_ _x000D_ 2) Reduction of the old fertilizer by 2/3; replace this with 2/3 of the new fertilizer. Wait approx. 3-4 weeks and observe the reaction of the plants. _x000D_ _x000D_ 3) Complete discontinuation of the old fertilizer and change-over to the new fertilizer. _x000D_ _x000D_ It is important to observe the reaction of plant growth and, in addition, to check the iron content of the water at least 2x weekly. Whereas the value should never drop to 0, it should never exceed 0.2 mg/l if possible. However, short peaks are no cause for concern. _x000D_ _x000D_ These measures should generally be carried out on a weekly basis, ideally right after a water change. This achieves better results than fertilizing in large doses at longer intervals.
Yes, that will be helpful and may even be advisable, depending on the plants in the aquarium. _x000D_ _x000D_ The JBL 7 Balls pellets are primarily intended for root feeding plants and supply the plants with nutrients through their roots. Using JBL Ferropol to fertilise through the water column is generally advisable, as all plants (the stem plants more than the root feeders) also absorb nutrients through their leaves.
