2Hr Aquarist APT Feast is the easiest way to unlock the true potential of your planted aquarium.
Super organic, nutrient rich aquasoil that satisfies the most demanding plants and provides everyday magic in the simplest aquascape.
+ Sustained boost for up to 12 months.
+ Softens Water (6.2-6.6pH).
+ Superior bioactive support.
Compared to conventional ‘big brand’ aquasoils, APT Feast contains more than 2X the amount of Nitrogen (N), the most important macro nutrient.
That is like having a 60,000 mAh powerbank instead of everybody else’s 30,000 mAh version.
Substrate is a hassle to replace. APT Feast easily provides sustained nutrition for up to 12 months without any additional root fertilisation.
No, you don’t even need APT START when you begin!
Probiotic, organic granules that hold their form yet feel and perform like natural soil. Plant roots sense it immediately. So do beneficial bacteria.
While 100% optional, a 2 week Dark Start is the smart way to begin all planted tanks:) Alternatively, simply perform 80% water change every 2-3 days after planting.
Ready to plant? Perform 100% water change and add hardy plants first. Avoid Bucephalandra, delicate and tissue culture plants until the tank stabilises.
Begin water fertilization: Dose APT liquid fertilisers from Day 1 after planting.
Perform 80% water change every week until tank stabilises. Introduce slow growers, delicate plants, tissue culture plants and fish/ shrimp after that.
A Cold Start (using an inorganic substrate) is like putting fresh cut flowers in a vase: it is conveniently easy for the first 1-3 weeks. There is no need for water changes and it is OK add fish almost immediately. Plants do not melt (yet), and there is little algae. The problems come 4-6 weeks later. After consuming their stored energy, plants begin to struggle, and algae (delayed at the beginning) gain an entrenched foothold, taking advantage of the weaker plants and less developed microbial ecology.
A Warm Start (using a highly organic substrate) is like starting a miniature farm: real work is required at the start to avoid making an immediate mess. A 2 week Dark Start (ideally at ~26C+/ 79F+), followed by a 100% water change before adding hardy plants (no Bucephalandra, rare hybrids, delicate plants yet). Weekly 80% water change for another 2 weeks. Fish and delicate plants enter 1 month after planting. The reward? Richer colors and stronger growth that endures, with enhanced microbial diversity that supports crystal clear waters.
