Product overview
LCA All-in-One Shrimp Safe Liquid Fertiliser is made in Australia by Liverpool Creek Aquariums. It is designed for planted tanks that also keep shrimp, where standard fertilisers can be a problem because they often contain copper at levels that build up and harm sensitive invertebrates.
This formula supplies a full mix of macro and micro nutrients, with a stable DTPA iron chelate and a low-copper profile, so plants can grow well without putting the shrimp colony at risk.
Key features
-
Invertebrate safe: Low-copper formula made to protect Caridina, Neocaridina, and ghost shrimp.
-
Complete nutrition: One bottle supplies nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium (NPK), iron, and trace minerals.
-
Stable DTPA iron: Stays available to plants in water up to pH 7.5.
-
Helps prevent deficiencies: Regular dosing supports consistent growth and reduces yellowing leaves, stalled internodes, and stem decay.
-
Steady feeding: Nutrients are supplied evenly through the week, which helps avoid leftover spikes that can encourage algae.
Dosing and instructions
-
Standard / low-light tanks: Add 1 pump (2 ml) per 100 litres, 1–2 times per week.
-
High-tech tanks (high light and injected CO2): Add 3 pumps (6 ml) per 100 litres, 3 times per week. This is the maximum recommended dose.
-
Water changes: A 50% water change each week is recommended to reset nutrients and keep the water clear.
