LCA Low Tech Complete - 500ml

Product overview

LCA Low-Tech Complete Liquid Fertiliser is made in Australia by Liverpool Creek Aquariums. It is a single-bottle fertiliser for planted tanks that do not use high-intensity lighting or pressurised CO2.

In low-tech tanks, plants grow more slowly. Heavy fertilisers made for high-tech setups can leave unused nutrients in the water and encourage algae. Low-Tech Complete uses a gentler mix of macro and micro nutrients so hardy plants such as Anubias, Java fern, Cryptocoryne, and Vallisneria stay healthy without feeding algae.

Key features

• Made for low-tech tanks: Lower nutrient levels help prevent the build-up that often triggers algae in tanks without injected CO2.
• All-in-one nutrition: Each dose supplies nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium (NPK), iron, and trace minerals.
• Helps prevent deficiencies: Regular use supports colour, leaf health, and roots, and can reduce pinholes and pale growth.
• Simple dosing: One bottle — no mixing dry powders or using multiple fertilisers through the week.
• Livestock safe: Suitable for community tropical fish, goldfish, cichlids, snails, and ornamental shrimp.
