Qualdrop Forte Fe

Chelated iron for better absorption.

Qualdrop Forte Fe is a preparation containing chelated iron. In this form, it remains stable in water and is easily absorbed by plants.

Ironplays a key role in photosynthesis and chlorophyll synthesis, contributing to the vibrant colour and healthy structure of the leaves.

A complex of micronutrients that support plant metabolism

In addition to iron the supplement provides a range of essential trace elements, such as manganese, zinc, copper, boron, molybdenum, cobalt, nickel and rubidium. These elements play a role in numerous enzymatic and metabolic processes, ensuring the healthy growth and development of aquatic plants in the aquarium.

Why choose Forte Fe?

It has been developed with the aim of enabling informed and precise management of a planted aquarium. Its concentrated formula allows for precise control of iron levels in the water, which is crucial in tanks of varying intensity – from aquariums low-tech to more demanding aquariums such as high-tech.

The product allows for flexible adjustment of the dosage to suit the plants’ growth rate, the type of growing medium and the level of CO₂ supplementation, making it easy to integrate into a customised fertilisation system.

Regular use helps maintain stable trace element levels and reduces the risk of sudden deficiencies, which can disrupt the balance in the aquarium.

The product Forte Fe is designed for the regular fertilisation of planted aquariums requiring iron and micronutrient supplementation.

It is particularly recommended for tanks with intense lighting, active substrate and CO₂ supplementation, where the rapid growth rate of plants increases the demand for trace elements.

Tip1:

To provide plants with a full spectrum of nutrients, Fe Forte should be used in combination macro-nutrient fertilisers, particularly with the preparation Qualdrop Basic Grow. This combination ensures access to all the key elements necessary for healthy growth and vigorous development of plants.

Tip 2:

How to take Fe Forte correctly

One pump dispenses approximately 2 ml of the product.

Approximate dosage:

– For aquariums with few plants, low light levels, low CO₂ levels and few fish: it is recommended to use 1 pump per 25–30 litres of water, 1–2 times a week.

– With an average amount of plants, CO2, light and fish: the dosage can be increased to 2–3 applications per week.

– If there are a large number of plants, CO2, light and fish: the product can be used 3–5 times a week.

The best results for plants are achieved by applying the fertiliser daily in doses proportionate to the recommended weekly amount, rather than applying the entire weekly dose in a single go.

The dosage should always be adjusted to the plants’ growth rate and the specific requirements of the aquarium. We recommend carrying out regular aquarium tests, in particular iron (Fe) test, to monitor the plants’ fertiliser uptake on an ongoing basis.

Before use, it is advisable to shake the bottle well to ensure the active ingredients are evenly distributed.

Tip 3:

In newly set-up aquariums and when changing the fertilisation system, you should not start with the full recommended dose. Any change in the tank takes time to stabilise.

It is best to start with around a third of the target dose and gradually increase it, keeping a close eye on how the plants respond.
