{"product_id":"aquario-neo-solution-1","title":"Aquario Neo Solution 1","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe macronutrient backbone of the Aquario Neo range — nitrogen, potassium, magnesium and phosphorus for plants that need feeding, not just light and CO2.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a planted tank, light and CO2 (carbon dioxide — the gas plants photosynthesise with) only get you halfway — plants still need a steady macronutrient supply (the nutrients they consume in bulk) to push new growth, and low-tech (no injected CO2) or lightly-stocked shrimp tanks especially can run short on nitrogen, potassium, magnesium and phosphorus once plant mass builds up. Aquario Neo Solution 1 is a liquid macronutrient fertiliser formulated to cover that gap, dosed straight into the water column — the open water itself, rather than the substrate (the material covering the tank floor).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's designed to be used alongside the rest of the Neo range — Neo Solution 2 covers the micronutrient side (iron, trace elements — minerals needed only in tiny amounts — and amino acids), and the Neo Tab root tabs (fertiliser tablets pushed into the substrate) feed root-hungry plants like swords and crypts — Amazon swords and Cryptocoryne, classic root-feeding species — directly at the substrate. Running Solution 1 with Solution 2 gives a fuller macro-plus-micro routine rather than relying on one bottle to do everything.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAquario's own dosing guidance isn't published with exact NPK percentages (the nitrogen–phosphorus–potassium ratio most fertilisers print on the label), so treat any rate as a starting point rather than a fixed rule. The dosing pattern most commonly cited by resellers is roughly 2mL per 5 US gallons (≈19 litres) every 2–3 days — start conservative, watch how your plants respond over a couple of weeks, and adjust up or down for your plant mass, light level and tank size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLiquid macronutrient fertiliser: nitrogen (N), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), phosphorus (P)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned to pair with Neo Solution 2 (micronutrients) for a complete dosing routine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuits nutrient-hungry stem plants, carpets and higher-light setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in 300ml and 1L — dose conservatively and adjust to your tank (exact rates not published by the manufacturer)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Aquario","offers":[{"title":"300ml","offer_id":52798398824760,"sku":"D-NEO SOLUTION 1","price":18.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1L","offer_id":52798398857528,"sku":"D-NEO SOLUTION 1-1LTR","price":47.25,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0971\/3339\/6280\/files\/neo-solution-1.jpg?v=1786596392","url":"https:\/\/shrimpzone.com.au\/products\/aquario-neo-solution-1","provider":"Shrimp Zone ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
