Why your tank needs PlantLife^R Nitrogen Concentrated^TM : True aquatic plants, as well as submersed marsh plants, share in common many things, among them the approximate ratio of carbon to nitrogen to phosphorus (C:N:P, or Redfield-Richards Ratio) of an average molecule making up their tissue. In conditions of optimal light, temperature, and adequate available carbon and micronutrient concentrations, maintaining a N:P ratio of 10-20:1 (10-20 nitrogen atoms per 1 phosphorus atom) keeps plant growth steady, which in turn has been shown to severely limit the growth of unwanted algae; all other things being equal, greatly exceeding this N:P ratio (particularly by having an overabundance of phosphate with all other nutrients present) may actually encourage algae growth. One mechanism by which algae growth may be suppressed is the exudation of phenolic and other compounds by the plants themselves during growth; these compounds appear to inhibit the growth of algae (and true plants, to a much lesser extent). As a well-maintained planted aquarium ages and the concentration of these compounds increases, the likelihood for algal proliferation decreases. Maintaining the recommended N:P ratio is simply a way to help achieve greater plant growth while reducing the chances for problems with algae. In heavily planted aquariums, particularly those with intense lighting and Co2 supplementation (10-15 mg/l), it is often necessary to supplement nitrogen and phosphorus, as well as many other nutrients, in order to facilitate steady plant growth, health, and coloration.
