- Aquarium’s richest substrate.
- Sustained boost for up to 12 months.
- Softens Water (6.2-6.6pH).
- Superior bioactive support.
- From Japan’s most ancient places.
Compared to conventional aquasoils, APT Feast contains over 2X the amount of Nitrogen (N), the most important macro nutrient. This is like having a 60,000 mAh powerbank instead of the usual 30,000 mAh version!
Substrates are a hassle to replace, but APT Feast provides sustained nutrition for up to 12 months without the need for additional root fertilization. No need for APT START when starting!
Probiotic, organic granules that hold their form but feel and perform like natural soil. Plant roots sense it immediately, and so do beneficial bacteria.
How to Use:
- Add APT Feast, Hardscape, and Water.
- Turn on the filter, turn off the lights. Add starter bacteria and/or detritus from a matured tank. Bonus: Raise the temperature to 29°C/84°F to speed up cycling.
- After dark start, perform a 100% water change and add hardy plants.
- Begin water fertilization: Dose APT liquid fertilizers from Day 1 after planting. Avoid Bucephalandra and delicate plants for the first 2 weeks.
Maintenance:
- Perform an 80% water change every week for the first 2 weeks after planting.
- Introduce slow-growing plants, delicate plants, tissue culture plants, and fish/shrimp after 4 weeks.
Cold Start vs Warm Start:
- Cold Start: Using an inorganic substrate, it’s easy at first but plants struggle after a few weeks, and algae take over.
- Warm Start: A highly organic substrate requires more work upfront but results in stronger growth, richer colors, and clearer water in the long term.
