APT Jazz Plant Growth Booster 18 Tabs

APT Jazz Plant Growth Booster 18 Tabs

APT Jazz Plant Growth Booster 18 Tabs is a solid root fertiliser from SCAPE that brings depleted aquasoil back to life in planted aquariums. It is for aquascapers and planted-tank keepers in South Africa whose mature layouts have started to slow down, and who want thicker, fuller plant growth and better algae control without tearing down the scape to replace the substrate.

Every planted tank eventually runs into the same quiet problem: aquasoil doesn't last forever. Over the months its nutrient reserves run down, growth slows and plant colours begin to fade. Re-substrating a mature, established scape is the last thing most hobbyists want to do. These substrate tabs offer another option. Pushed into the substrate, APT Jazz gives mature, spent aquasoil the full potency of fresh soil. You can rejuvenate depleted aquasoil instantly, and repeat the process whenever it's needed, with no rescape required.

Key Benefits

• Revives tired aquasoil: gives exhausted, mature substrate the full potency of fresh soil, so an established layout keeps performing like it did on day one.
• Repeatable, instant rejuvenation: restores spent aquasoil as often as needed, with no teardown and no re-substrating.
• Thicker, fuller, lusher growth: encourages denser, more vigorous growth forms in rooted plants.
• Feeds right at the roots: delivers nutrition directly into the substrate where root-feeding plants take it up.
• Smart nitrate limitation: makes nitrate limitation easy, so your plants get a flush of healthy growth with superior algae control. You feed the plants without feeding the algae.
• Fully water-soluble nutrients: every nutrient in the formula is completely water soluble for reliable, even uptake.
• Low maintenance: there's no daily dosing and no fuss. You simply replenish the tabs roughly every two months.
• Trusted by serious aquascapers: a clever piece of substrate chemistry chosen by hobbyists who want lasting results from their scapes.

How to Use

• Push each tab well into the substrate, more than an inch deep, so it sits in the root zone.
• Space the tabs evenly across the planted areas of the tank.
• Replenish after around two months to keep the aquasoil performing.
• No daily dosing is needed between applications.

Dosage

Insert one tab per 2.5 square inches of substrate, pushed more than an inch deep. Replenish after around two months.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my aquasoil needs APT Jazz?
Aquasoil loses its nutrient reserves over months. If growth in a mature tank has slowed and plant colours are fading, the substrate is likely depleted. APT Jazz is designed to restore it to the potency of fresh soil without a rescape.

How many tabs should I use?
Use one tab per 2.5 square inches of substrate, pushed more than an inch deep. Space them evenly through the planted areas.

How often do the tabs need replacing?
Replenish after around two months. There's no daily dosing between applications.

Will a root fertiliser encourage algae in my tank?
APT Jazz makes nitrate limitation easy, so plants get the nutrition they need with superior algae control. It is formulated to feed your plants rather than the algae.

What nutrients do the tabs contain?
It is a solid inorganic NPK (Mg) fertiliser with 16% total nitrogen, plus phosphorus, magnesium and EDTA-chelated iron. It also contains trace boron, copper, manganese, molybdenum and zinc. The ingredients are clay, ammonium sulphate and magnesium nitrate, and all nutrients are fully water soluble.

Can I use it more than once in the same scape?
Yes. APT Jazz is designed to rejuvenate depleted aquasoil instantly and repeatedly, so you can keep topping up the substrate in an established layout instead of re-substrating.
