APT Complete Advance Plant Nutrition 300ml

APT Complete Advance Plant Nutrition 300ml

APT Complete Advance Plant Nutrition 300ml is an all-in-one aquarium plant fertiliser that supports healthier plant growth, richer colour and fewer algae problems in planted tanks. Developed by 2Hr Aquarist and part of our SCAPE plant-care range, it suits South African aquascapers growing demanding high-tech plants as well as hobbyists keeping a simple, low-maintenance planted community tank.

APT Complete is the 2Hr Aquarist all-in-one fertiliser, built around three goals: richer colours, less algae and faster results. Rather than juggling several bottles, you get one complete liquid feed that gives aquatic plants what they need to show their true potential, whether you're tackling the most challenging species or simply enjoying a thriving everyday tank.

Key Benefits

• All-in-one nutrition: a single liquid supplies the three macronutrients Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K), plus Iron (Fe) and essential trace minerals.
• Balanced formulation: the nutrients are provided in the right amounts, which matters as much as the ingredients themselves.
• Healthier plant growth: designed to improve overall plant health and support strong, steady growth.
• Helps prevent algae: well-fed, healthy plants help keep algae in check, even in the simplest set-up.
• Vibrant colour: helps bring out richer reds, greens and other natural plant colours.
• Distinctive results: plants grown the 2Hr Way™ using APT display a unique richness and form.
• Happier fish: good plant health contributes to a cleaner, more stable environment for your livestock. The manufacturer's summary: healthy plants, happy fish, algae-free.
• Made by aquarists: 2Hr Aquarist developed APT because they couldn't find an existing product that met their own needs.

How to Use

• Work out your tank's water volume in litres.
• Choose one of the two dosing routines below and stick with it consistently.
• Use the calibrated pump for accurate, mess-free measuring.
• Add the dose directly to the aquarium water.

Dosage

• Option 1: 5ml per 100L, four times a week.
• Option 2: 3ml per 100L, daily.
• At the recommended rate, the 300 ml bottle lasts approximately 3 months for a 30 Gal / 115L tank.

Suitable For

• Simple low-maintenance planted tanks where you want healthy plants and fewer algae issues.
• Aquarists switching from, or comparing against, a current fertiliser routine.

Compatibility

APT Complete works best as part of a well-balanced system. The makers are the first to say that a super fertiliser on its own cannot deliver a dream tank: good water flow, effective bio-filtration, the right plant mix and suitable water parameters all play their part. Get those fundamentals right and APT gives your plants the complete nutrition to make the most of them.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is APT Complete different from other aquarium fertilisers?
It combines N, P, K, iron and essential trace minerals in the right amounts in a single bottle. 2Hr Aquarist created it because no existing product met their needs, and plants grown the 2Hr Way™ with APT show a distinctive richness and form.

I only have a simple planted tank. Do I need something this powerful?
Even basic tanks benefit. Good plant health helps prevent algae and keeps fish happy, and APT is designed to give plants everything they need, whatever the level of your set-up.

I'm happy with my current fertiliser. Should I switch?
As fellow aquarists, the makers say "whatever works". Their view is that the right performance fuel simply makes planted tanks easier and, in their experience, a lot more exciting.

What about the "3x savings" claim?
The manufacturer's answer points to the formula: APT Complete contains all three macronutrients (N, P, K) plus iron and essential trace minerals in one bottle, so you aren't buying separate products to cover each one.

Will APT Complete alone give me an algae-free show tank?
No fertiliser can do that on its own. Good flow, bio-filtration, the right plant mix and correct water parameters all matter alongside complete plant nutrition.

How long will one bottle last?
Dosing 5ml per 100L four times a week or 3ml per 100L daily, the 300 ml bottle lasts roughly 3 months on a 115 litre (30 gal) aquarium. Larger tanks will use it faster.
