This article aims to make known the range of Hydra products, their characteristics and how to use them.
Plants to thrive always need macro and micronutrients, and in the case of Hydra fertilization, macros and micros are separated, in this way, it is possible independently to increase one or the other depending on the needs of each aquarium. Although both are nutritionally well balanced, this independence is an added value Hydra.
Currently there are 4 Hydra products, we will explore each of them more in detail.
Macronutrients play a key role in the growth and development of aquatic plants. These nutrients are needed in relatively large amounts to satisfy the metabolic demands of plants. Among the essential macronutrients for aquatic plants are the nitrates, phosphates, potassium and magnesium.
The Hydra macros It provides these macronutrients that plants need, with a balanced dose of nitrates and phosphates and a generous dose of potassium to ensure that plant growth has no limitations.
The value of potassium in fertilizers hydra It is much higher than in most other fertilizers on the market, in order to ensure stronger growth, greater resistance and health to plants. Potassium, even in excess, does not cause the appearance of algae, because potassium is mostly used by higher (vascular) plants and not by algae.
It is also reinforced with magnesium, an important mineral in plant metabolism and chlorophyll production.
It also contains the addition of inorganic carbon to increase the carbon supply to the plants, with carbon being a key nutrient for the health and development of plant mass.
fertilization routine / 100l:
Little/medium planted aquariums:
2 Pumps / day - 6 days of the week - 7th day break and tpa of 20-40%
Very planted aquariums/high tech:
2 to 4 Pumps / Day - 6 Days of the Week - 7th Day Break and 20-40% TPA

The Hydra Micros It provides the micronutrients that plants need, they are called micro because the amount needed by plants is much lower than macronutrients, although necessary in less amounts, they are no less important for plants and their biological functions.
The Hydra Micros It attaches the micronutrients in a chelated form, it means that they are connected to another molecule and thus do not react with other ions, such as sulfate P.E., and thus remain bioavailable for plants to absorb them. It is therefore safe to fertilize the micros in conjunction with the macros.
The Hydra Micros provides an excellent dose of iron, from 3 chelated irons different, to ensure its stability in a large pH range. also brings manganese, zinc, boron and copper.
The formula is also reinforced with potassium and magnesium.
fertilization routine / 100l:
Little/medium planted aquariums:
2 ml (pumps) / day - 6 days of the week - 7th day break and tpa of 20-40%
Very planted aquariums/high tech:
2 to 4 (Pumps) / day - 6 days of the week - 7th day break and 20-40% tpa

The Hydra Liquid Carbon It is a liquid carbon, with this in no way is it substituted for CO2, nor does any liquid carbon do it.
Despite this, it provides some carbon to the plants, helps in the absorption of nutrients and above all it is an excellent anti algae, effectively fighting even the most resistant algae such as BBA's.
Its active ingredient is glutaraldehyde, as well as the well-known Seachem Excel, is however more concentrated and a enhancer and preservative has been added that guarantees excellent effectiveness from the first day to the last drop.
How to use:
How to fight algae:
Up to 5ml per 40L per day for 3-4 days - ideally direct application, with a syringe, in the algae so that the Liquid Carbon enters the algae, the filter must be turned off when the application is applied and can be reconnected after 5min, to ensure that Liquid Carbon was operating locally.
as maintenance / complement:
2-3 ml (pumps) per day, directly in the water
100l

The hydra safe water It is a water conditioner, it neutralizes the chlorine in the tap water during TPA's. It does what all conditioners should do, neutralize chlorine and that's all.
The hydra safe water It is a concentrated formula and only 5ml neutralizes, with a safety margin, the chlorine of 200L of water.
The formula contains only the chlorine neutralizing agent, has no preservatives or additives, some very toxic such as formaldehyde, so the hydra safe water it's safe even 5x the dose recommended.
Very used to your usual conditioner, EF2734???
dare to try hydra safe water
5 ml (1 lid up to the thread) - 1ml (for each thread of the thread)
5 ml (1 lid up to the thread) neutralizes chlorine of 200L of water
