This fertiliser is based on the Estimative Index method (PMDD Style) by Tom Barr and can be dosed on a daily basis. Your plants receive an unlimited and permanent delivery of nutrients which is highly growth-stimulating. Makro Basic - Estimative Index adds the most important macro-nutrients of nitrogen, phosphate and potassium to your tank.
A 50% water change per week is advisable in order to prevent a build-up of macro-nutrients in the tank. The fertiliser dosage may be raised or reduced depending on the requirements of your tank. Please make sure that there is sufficient supply of CO2 of about 30 mg/l. We recommend that you complement this fertiliser with 0.5 – 1 ml of Mikro Basic - Eisenvolldünger (Fe Complete Fertiliser) or Micro Special - Flowgrow per 40 litres of tank water per day in order to provide your plants with sufficient amounts of micro-nutrients.
New, improved formula: 36800 mg/l NO3, 6980 mg/l PO4, 28000 mg/l K, 1010 mg/l Mg, Methylparaben.
| 1 ml Makro Basic - Estimative Index per 40 litres of tank water adds the following nutrients: |
| NO3 | 0.92 mg/l |
| PO4 | 0.17 mg/l |
| K | 0.7 mg/l |

The basic supply of macro-nutrients in the aquarium is provided either by our Makro Basic - NPK, Makro Baic - Estimative Index or by our single-nutrient fertilisers Makro Basic - Nitrat, - Phosphat and - Kalium (potassium). Our aquarium plant fertiliser Aqua Rebell Makro Basic - Estimative Index adds nitrogen, phosphate, potassium and magnesium and thus covers all essential macro-nutrients, providing your plants with the prerequisites for lush growth. This fertiliser is based on the fertilising system of the same name and has been designed to supply your plants with all the nutrients they need, quickly and readily.
