Why Fertilizers Are Essential for Planted Aquariums
Just like reef tanks need coral additives for dosing, freshwater aquariums depend on a solid nutrient foundation. Without proper fertilization, aquatic plants can suffer from poor growth, algae outbreaks, and unstable water parameters.
Our Fishroom PHAT line is crafted for beginners and advanced users who want vibrant, balanced tanks without the guesswork.

Freshwater Tank Maintenance Tips
Maintaining a healthy tank doesn't need to be complicated. Just follow these tips:
- Use a return pump or wave maker to circulate water and avoid dead zones.
- Dose PHAT Fundamental or Pro Fertilizer 3 - 4 times a week for steady plant growth.
- Light your tank with quality aquarium lighting like our Pixel LED bundle.
- For crystal-clear water, biological media and regular filter maintenance are key.
-
Test water weekly, keep nitrates/phosphates balanced.
Cross-Tank Benefits: Reef Meets Freshwater?
If you're already running a reef tank, you might wonder why you should care about freshwater systems. Well, many reef keepers use planted tanks as nutrient export systems (refugiums), shrimp breeding tanks, or simply for their aesthetic charm. The gear, like silent protein skimmers or return pumps, can overlap across both ecosystems.
