Description
2hr Aquarist APT Sky
Discover new possibilities with SKY-boosted water.
Enable shrimps and hardwater plants to thrive together with softwater plants.
Replenish all vital minerals in RO/ RODI water with no negative altering of NPK, KH or pH.
Each 3.5g / 5ml per 60L adds 12ppm Calcium and 3.5ppm Magnesium (+2.5 dGH)
Recommended: 15ml per 60L of RO/RODI water.
To grow softwater plants, RO/RODI water recommended if tap water measures >2 dKH
Playtime
Plants have conflicting softwater / hardwater requirements.
APT SKY removes the hassle of having to choose between softwater and hardwater plants. For softwater tanks, it boosts shrimp health and reproduction.
The catch? It does require Softwater or Reverse Osmosis (RO) water to begin with. At the moment, there is no easy way to make Hardwater ’Soft’.
Precision matters
Conventional ‘RO remineralisers’ raise GH but almost all inadvertently alter NPK values.
Most add an excessive amount of Potassium, for example. This in turn interferes with optimal fertilisation.
APY SKY adds Calcium, Magnesium, trace minerals and natural seaweed extract, in a way that uniquely leaves NPK intact.
Smart savings
As a GH booster, APT SKY is ~ 3X as concentrated as conventional remineralisers. Each 3.5g / 5ml per 60L adds 12ppm Calcium and 3.5ppm Magnesiumm, raising GH by 2.5 dGH.
Did we mention that it is super-soluble, non-caking and just a joy to handle?
Usage:
Baseline – If you have softwater or use RO water, then simply add 15ml per 60L. If you have hardwater or are unsure, obtain a GH reading using any common test kit.
Dosage – Use the SKY Dosage Calculator (below) to determine dosage. For the very first dose, Water Volume = tank’s water volume. GH Reading is your tank’s GH level. Subsequently, during water change, Water Volume = Volume of new tap water added. GH Reading = tap water GH level.
Method – One way is to first mix APT SKY in a small container with some water and add the milky solution into the tank. Or you can simply add APT SKY powder directly into the tank. It is OK if it covers the plants.
Ingredients:
Ca (Calcium): 21.5%
Mg (Magnesium): 5.4%
B (Boron): 7mg/L
Cu (Copper): 1mg/L
Fe (Iron): 0.06%
Mn (Manganese): 17mg/L
Mo (Molybdenum): 0.01mg/L
Zn (Zinc): 9mg/L
Seaweed extract <1%
Why?
APT SKY resolves the key conundrum of how to increase water hardness (specifically as a GH booster) without altering NPK values (which interfere with the calibrated ratios of fertilisers) and KH (where higher values are not favoured by most commercial aquatic plants).
