The 2Hr Aquarist APT Jazz Growth Booster 9 Caps
Power
Example of APT's relative concentration compared with a 40-year old American 'big brand fertiliser'. APT contains 40X the amount of Nitrogen- the most impactful nutrient for plant growth.
Balance
Beyond a point, minerals- in particular heavy metals, become harmful instead. Terrestrial root tabs (characterised by their yellowish 'osmocote' shells) can be powerful, but with high risk of imbalance in aquatic conditions. APT Jazz keeps you safely on the good side of the curve.
Form
Root nutrition unlocks thicker, fuller growth. However most root tabs quickly leach their contents into the water (e.g. nitrates). APT JAZZ uses ammoniacal nitrogen which binds to substrate, and a powerful slow-release mechanism.
Place capsule directly under the root zone of the plant you want to fertilize. Place at least 3cm /1.2" deep.
Add 1 capsule per 2.5" / 16 cm2 of substrate. Always siphon away stirred up detritus after replanting / adding APT Jazz.
Observe the impact in new leaves after 7 days. Root absorption takes longer than uptake through leaves. Old leaves do not rejuvenate.
Aquasoil depletes naturally over 3~6 months.
At the heart of APT Jazz's potency is its Phoenix Matrix, a blend of ammoniacal nitrogen and essential nutrients with the power to repeatedly rejuvenate aquasoil.
Enjoy fresh, rich aquasoil without the hassle (and waste) of discarding matured substrate.
Nitrate Limitation unlocks the deepest possible reds in Rotala rotundifolia and many of the hobby's most popular plants.
This technique involves root-fed macro nutrients, coupled with low nitrates in the water. Existing root tabs either do not contain sufficient root-fed macro nutrients, or do not effectively retain nitrogen within the substrate. Once leached into the water, nitrate limitation fails.
APT Jazz was specially engineered to retain potent ammoniacal nitrogen within the root zone. Enjoy the power.
Many aquatic root tabs are derived from terrestrial 'osmocote' type fertilisers. They can be strong growth boosters, but often induce dangerous spikes in ammonia, which trigger algae and can kill fish and plants. Tissue-culture plants are especially vulnerable.
APT Jazz is 100% designed for aquatic use, with no unpleasant suprises.
