  AquariumPlants.com's own: SUBSTRATE VITALIZATION SYSTEM

AquariumPlants.com's own: SUBSTRATE VITALIZATION SYSTEM
 

Feed the roots, not the algae (like liquid fertilizers do).  Used as a complete system and/or with our exclusive: AQUARIUMPLANTS.COM'S own  Freshwater Substrate, (and proper lighting etc), we guarantee total success of your planted aquarium.

(ask our tech guys if you have the proper lighting etc.) 

Aquarium plants require certain essential nutrients, besides a source of carbon dioxide, to produce and maintain green foliage and strong roots. Without proper fertilization, aquarium plants gradually turn yellow, drop leaves, and eventually die. AQUARIUMPLANTS.COM's own: "Substrate Vitalization System"  is formulated to supply plants with Macro and Micro Nutrients at your plants root zone where they belong.
AQUARIUMPLANTS.COM's own Substrate Vitalization System helps new plants get a vigorous start and keep established plants flourishing.   The Aquarium Plants Substrate Vitalizer System  can actually be used to replenish all of the nutrients in a worn-out substrate “in place , making  substrate replacement  unnecessary.
 
EXTRA INFORMATION:
Here are some common
misconceptions or misguided theories about aquarium plants and nutrients:
-I don't need to add nutrients because I have fish in my tank and they produce adequate nutrients for the plants...WRONG
-I don't need to add nutrients because I am using "Eco-complete or Flourite or Laterite as a substrate...WRONG
-I don't need to add nutrients "at the roots" because I am using a liquid fertilizer in the water...WRONG
-Rooted Aquarium plants can absorb all the nutrients they need through their leaves WRONG

-Now that my tank is looking  the way Ive always wanted it to, my substrate is running out of nutrients so Ill have to break it down and start all over .WRONG 

BASIC PLANT FACTS:  Why aquatic plants flourish in the wild and how we can cause them to flourish in our Aquarium Gardens

The feedback coming in has been incredible...
TESTIMONIAL:

"Just wanted to let you know your  system is the only  injectable substrate nutrient system that Ive ever tried.  WOW, it really works!!!!!  
Im ordering two more batches just to have them on hand. Between the great plants you sold me and this system, my tank is as close to perfect as Ive ever had it.   NO algae. Lush growth.   The Hydrocotyle leucocephala you sold me is going nuts. I have some H. vulgaris doing the same. . Anyway, thanks for a product that works BETTER than I had hoped.   Ive bought plants and supplies through just about very body on the net, and you guys are as good as it gets."

AquariumPlants.coms own Substrate Pellets are specifically formulated and engineered to work as part of the AquariumPlants.coms own Super Substrate System.    AquariumPlants.coms own Super Substrate is a fired fractured clay substrate engineered specifically to work with AquariumPlants.com Substrate Pellets.   Each substrate granule is covered with micro porous surface factures.    AquariumPlant.coms own Substrate Pellets are engineered to expand between the substrate granules and also into the fractured matrix of the substrate granules surfaces after injection.    This adds natural chelation and holds the nutrients tightly in place at your plants roots for a gradual timed release.

  • TOTAL SUBSTRATE PELLETS

Total Pellets provide all essential macro and micronutrients for luxuriant Aquarium Plant Growth.    Iron and other essential micronutrients are chelated to assure effective uptake by plants.   (Total Pellets do not contribute to Phosphate levels.) 

Directions:      Inject one pellet under a single plant or group of plants within an area of  3in by 3in square.     Inject no more than 1 pellet per each 3in by 3in area of aquarium bottom per month.   Plants should be growing in at least 2in of substrate.   With the injector angled at least 30 degrees off vertical, inject pellets into the substrate to about 1/2in under the plant root area. 

Chemically Active Ingredients:    Hydrated Magnesium sulfate,  Potassium nitrate,  Potassium sulfate,  also trace amounts of;  Cobalt EDTA, Copper EDTA,  Iron EDTA,  Magnesium EDTA,  Zinc EDTA,  Manganese sulfate,  Sodium Borate, Sodium Molybdate,   (Chelating Agent: Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid)  

Physically Active Ingredients:  Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3)   Magnesium Carbonate (MgCO3)   Calcium Carbonate Equivalent (CaCO3)   Calcium Sulfate (CaSO42H2O)

  • SUPER CONCENTRATE (LIQUID)

Directions:   Depending on how heavily planted your aquarium is:  1-2 drops per 10 gallons of water 1-2 times per week.  If you see any signs of algae, then discontinue use.

  • IRON SUBSTRATE PELLETS

Iron Pellets provide essential Chelated Iron for accelerated growth and greening of tropical Aquarium Plants.  Iron is precision chelated to assure effective uptake by plants.   Use Iron Pellets when plants are observed to be growing in the meristem (growth zones) but dying in older parts of the plant or when general yellowing is observed.    

Directions:      Inject one pellet under a single plant or group of plants within an area of  3in by 3in square.     Inject no more than 1 pellet per each  3in by 3in area of aquarium bottom in 45 days.   Plants should be growing in at least 3in of substrate.   With the injector angled at least 30 degrees off vertical, inject pellets into the substrate to about 1/2in under the plant root area.   Periodically sample aquarium free water, if iron level goes over 3 ppm inject no addition pellets until iron level drops to 1.5 ppm or less.  

Chemically Active Ingredients:  Iron  (Chelating Agent: FeEthylenetiaminepentraacetic acid)  

Physically Active Ingredients:   Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3)   Magnesium Carbonate (MgCO3)   Calcium Carbonate Equivalent (CaCO3)   Calcium Sulfate (CaSO42H2O)

  • TRACE  PELLETS

Trace Pellets provide all essential micronutrients for luxuriant Aquarium Plant Growth.    Essential micronutrients are chelated to assure effective uptake by plants.   Apply Trace Pellets when plants are observed to be growing well but display transparency in the leaves, blotches, spots, deformed growth, ragged edges, sclerosis (dead or clear areas between leaf veins), or other hard to diagnose symptoms.   

Directions:      Inject one pellet under a single plant or group of plants within an area of  3in by 3in square.     Inject no more than 1 pellet per each 3in by 3in area of aquarium bottom per month.   Plants should be growing in at least 3in of substrate.   With the injector angled at least 30 degrees off vertical, inject pellets into the substrate to about 1/2in under the plant root area. 

Chemically Active Ingredients:   trace amounts of;  Cobalt EDTA, Copper EDTA,  Iron EDTA,  Magnesium EDTA,  Zinc EDTA,  Manganese sulfate,  Sodium Borate, Sodium Molybdate,   (Chelating Agent: Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid)  

Physically Active Ingredients:  Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3)   Magnesium Carbonate (MgCO3)   Calcium Carbonate Equivalent (CaCO3)   Calcium Sulfate (CaSO42H2O)

  • TOTAL (WITH  PHOSPHATE) PELLETS

AquariumPlants.coms own Total (With Phosphate) Pellets provide Phosphate and all essential macro and micronutrients for luxuriant Aquarium Plant Growth.  Iron and other essential micronutrients are chelated to assure effective uptake by plants.  All aquarium plants need phosphate, however, most aquarium plants get adequate phosphate from fish foods and natural water sources. Use Total With Phosphate for Amazon Sword Plants, Temple Plants an other plants known to benefit from addition phosphate.  Discontinue adding additional (phosphates) pellets if algal growth is observed to develop or accelerate.   . 

Directions: Inject one pellet under a single plant or group of plants within an area of  3in by 3in square.     Inject no more than 1 pellet per each 6in by 6in area of aquarium bottom per month in heavily planted tanks.   Plants should be growing in at least 3in of substrate.   With the injector angled at least 30 degrees off vertical, inject pellets into the substrate to about 1/2in under the plant root area. 

Chemically Active Ingredients:  Diammonium Phosphate, Hydrated Magnesium sulfate,  Potassium nitrate,  Potassium sulfate,  also trace amounts of;  Cobalt EDTA, Copper EDTA,  Iron EDTA,  Magnesium EDTA,  Zinc EDTA,  Manganese sulfate,  Sodium Borate, Sodium Molybdate,   (Chelating Agent: Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid)  

Physically Active Ingredients:  Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3)   Magnesium Carbonate (MgCO3)   Calcium Carbonate Equivalent (CaCO3)   Calcium Sulfate (CaSO42H2O)

Great stuff May 22, 2011
Reviewer: Huw Powell from Lee, NH United States  
My first batch of plants 4 months ago was showing signs of attrition - amazon sword growing smaller, lighter-colored leaves, jungle vals growing but lighter, almost yellow leaves.  So I knew I needed to give them at least some iron and probably more.  I started with a bottle of Total and one of iron, and a 24" insertion tool. put about 30 and 15 respectively in my 75g, and within two weeks I could see a difference - the sword was growing greener, longer, narrower leaves, and the vals were also greening up nicely. Here 3 months later the sword (and another I bought, and their babies) are still slowly getting bigger.

Moral of the story: buy  your fertilizer from the people who grow plants for a living!

AwesomeProduct January 28, 2010
Reviewer: john worline from hobart, IN United States  
I have used total,iron, and the phosphate. I only have sand for a substrate and with these pellets my plants are thriving even without CO2!! I only have lights and this fertilizer and my sword plants are huge and propagating in my warm water discus tank. My fish are spawning on the leafs and every thing has not looked better. You cannot go wrong with aquariumplants.com and the staff is completely helpfull and is very noligable. Thanks for all your help. The applicator tubes are also great in that I no longer have to stick my arm in my tank as it is 2 and a half feet tall.

Need info on the liquid ferts December 28, 2009
Reviewer: Anonymous Person  
I bought the liquid fertilizer to go along with the TOTAL pellets, but unfortunately there are NO dosing instructions on the bottle, nor does it say what is in the actual liquid.  When asking the rep on the phone how much to dose, I was simply told "one to two drops, once or twice a week...depending on plant load." That doesn't really help much, so I'm hesitant to use the stuff.

good product June 4, 2009
Reviewer: Cathy Hanson from San Antonio, TX United States  
My plants that were dying before are  doing great since I started using this fertilizer, as well as Aquarium Plants own substrate.  The pellet applicator makes the pellets super easy to use.
