Aquavitro Premier - 350ml

Premier - 350 ml

Premier is a conditioner specifically designed for the planted aquarium. It removes chlorine and chloramines while adding potassium. Premier is non-acidic and will not impact pH. Use at start-up and whenever adding or replacing water.

Premier is a concentrated solution of potassium thiosulfate which removes both chlorine and chloramines. Although a thiosulfate-based conditioner is not recommended for saltwater aquaria because of the ammonia produced when it reacts with chloramines, it is perfect for the planted aquarium. The ammonia produced from chloramine by Premier is predominantly in the ammonium form, and is thus rapidly scavenged by plants. It also serves as a minor source of potassium.

Nitrogen is one of the three macro nutrients (NPK) required by plants. It is a component of proteins and nucleic acids. Nitrogen is mobile in plants. This means the plants divert these nutrients from older leaves to new leaves. Thus, deficiency symptoms appear in older leaves first. Nitrogen deficiency symptoms include chlorosis, slow growth, and small, stunted plants with large root systems.
Synthesis is a concentrated (32,000 mg/L N) nitrogen source. It is unique in that it provides nitrogen in all three forms. Approximately 50% of the nitrogen in Synthesis is derived from an organic source (urea), while the remaining nitrogen splits at about 25% each from nitrate and ammoniacal sources.
