The three macronutrients N = nitrogen (nitrate), P = phosphorus (phosphate) and K = potassium are particularly important. The addition of N and P is generally not necessary in normal, planted community aquariums, as these substances enter the aquarium in sufficient or sometimes even excessive amounts via the food and fish excrement. The situation is different with demanding plant aquariums or aquascaping aquariums, however. They have an above-average nutrient requirement, especially for macronutrients. In these types of aquariums, an N or P deficiency can quickly occur, especially with no or few fish. A K deficiency is also possible, but less common, as potassium is always present in certain quantities in tap water and is regularly added via iron fertilizers such as Plant Care Pro . In demanding plant aquariums, it is therefore very useful to keep an eye on the macronutrients and supplement them if necessary. The biological balance of nutrients is particularly important for an NPK fertilizer. The nutrient ratios in Plant Care NPK were chosen so that all three macronutrients are absorbed by the plants in equal proportions. This means that even with long-term, regular use, there can be no deficiencies or disadvantageous accumulations of individual nutrients. Nutrient imbalances should always be avoided, as they usually lead to algae problems.

When do I use Plant Care NPK ?

Every aquarium has a specific nutrient consumption depending on the number of plants, plant species, animal population, feeding, water changes and growth conditions (amount of light/lighting time, CO2 addition, filter technology, etc.). The required NPK addition should therefore be determined individually for each aquarium. Plant Care NPK is only used when necessary, i.e. when there is a real lack of macronutrients. We recommend measuring the nitrate and/or phosphate content weekly and dosing Plant Care NPK accordingly. You can also measure the potassium content of the aquarium water (tests available from specialist retailers). However, this measurement is usually not necessary, as the tap water plus Plant Care Pro and Plant Care NPK provide enough potassium. An overdose of potassium is hardly possible in practice and is generally not detrimental. Significant overdoses of nitrate and phosphate, on the other hand, can promote algae growth. Plant Care NPK should therefore not be used at the beginning without first measuring the nitrate and, ideally, the phosphate content. If the tap water used for the water change does not contain exceptionally high amounts of nitrate or phosphate, measuring the nitrate content alone is sufficient later on in practice as a basis for deciding on NPK fertilization and dosage. Simple immersion tests can also be used for this, e.g. the Dennerle WaterTest 6in1 .

Dosage & Application

If you have measured and fertilized regularly for several weeks, you can see at which level the measured values ​​​​settle and which macronutrient additions the aquarium requires. You can then add the determined weekly dose of Plant Care NPK as standard and increase the measurement intervals to 2 to 4 weeks with a clear conscience. A good guideline is 10 ml / 100 L / week , which corresponds to an addition of 5 mg/L nitrate, 0.4 mg/L phosphate and 2.5 mg/L potassium. If the tap water used for the water change contains exceptionally high levels of nitrate (e.g. 50 mg/L) but hardly any phosphate, or high levels of phosphate (> 1 mg/L) but hardly any nitrate, then the use of Plant Care NPK is not recommended in order to avoid disadvantageously high levels of individual macronutrients and nutrient imbalances. In this case, Dennerle Plant Care N or Plant Care P single-nutrient fertilizers should be used to specifically compensate for nutrient deficiencies. Because in addition to the absolute nutrient concentration, the nutrient ratio is also important. The nitrate-phosphate ratio should ideally be in the range of 10:1 to 15:1. If the tap water only contains small amounts of potassium (e.g. < 3 mg/L), Dennerle Plant Care K should be used. This is often the case with very soft water. You can find out the analysis values ​​for your own tap water from your local water supplier. They are easy to access online. Furthermore, potassium is one of the few nutrients that only get into the aquarium in trace amounts through fish food. A macro nutrient fertilizer must always be used in combination with a micro nutrient fertilizer. For a complete supply of nutrients and the best possible plant growth, we recommend combining Plant Care NPK with Plant Care Pro .

Short-lived but much enjoyed as a chew toy
Color: Consuela the Cactus - Large, Size: Large Dog
I bought two of these for my "granddogs" in the size for Large dogs. The German Shepherd-mix stole the one intended for the border collie-mix and had both toys halfway destroyed within a day--I'm pretty sure they didn't survive much longer after that. Much enjoyed! Maybe I should've bought the Extra Large size, because the Large barely fit in her mouth and she wanted to play tug-of-war, so there wasn't much for me to grab onto. Then the border collie wanted in on the action (she's older, so she needed help tugging!) but there wasn't enough material for her to grab onto without accidentally sinking her teeth into me instead.

Love all the Barkbox toys
Color: Christmas Consuela, Size: Large Dog
This is our third "Consuela"! Our dogs LOVE these toys, and they are the most durable we can find for our heavy chewers. They really like the ball inside as well. Highly, highly recommend these toys. I won't be buying other toys anymore, just barkbox.

My dog is a toy destroyer
Color: Consuela the Cactus - Large, Size: Large Dog, Color: Consuela the Cactus - Large, Size: Large Dog
I’ve had a hard time trying to find toys that my dog, Zara loves because she’s actually very picky. Ive gotten plenty of Kong toys that are well known to be indestructible but she wants nothing to do with them. Then I got her ropes and that seemed to be good for a while until she was getting sick in the middle of the night from eating all of the string. Stuffed toys aren’t good because she’ll rip them within seconds and eat all of the stuffing. I felt like I’ll never score the perfect toy for her. I found the three layered cactus toy and decided to give it a go. It’s clearly designed to be ripped and destroyed to get the ball in the middle which is actually really cute and fun to see all of the layers. The cactus arms have stuffing and of course that’s the first thing she went for and ate. I had to watch her and make sure I took the stuffing away before she ate it. And before I knew it, she ate half of the first layer fabric lol once she got through the first layer, all she’s been doing is walking around the house with the toy in her mouth. But now she’s tired and passed out on the couch from all of the fun. This toy won’t last long with a toy destroyer but it sure does give them something to do and it’s a cute toy. I do recommend!!

Squeaky & Bell Design Keeps My Dog Busy
Love the dual sound design—squeaker inside plus a jingle bell! My pup is obsessed and plays with it for hours alone. The cute sneaker shape grabs their attention right away, helps kill boredom and reduces anxiety. Perfect for solo play and keeps them from messing up furniture. Great enrichment toys for daily use.
