ELEMENTAL SINGLE NUTRIENT DOSING
Your tank. Your targets.
Your control.
Most fertilizers add multiple nutrients at once. Elemental gives you independent control, so you can adjust one nutrient without automatically increasing the others.
Target What You Need
Add Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium, Iron or Trace individually instead of changing your entire fertilization routine.
Fine-Tune Your Tank
Adjust individual nutrients as plant growth, lighting and other aquarium conditions change.
Simple, Repeatable Dosing
One pump treats 5 gallons. Dose the individual nutrients your aquarium needs, as needed.
Complete all-in-one nutrition in one bottle.
Individual nutrients you can adjust independently.
BUILD YOUR SYSTEM
Choose your level of control.
Start with the nutrients that fit your aquarium, then expand your Elemental system as your tank and dosing needs evolve.
Low Tech
A simple starting point for lower-demand planted aquariums. Provides independent Potassium and Trace supplementation.
Medium Tech
Adds independent Nitrogen and Phosphorus control to the Low Tech system for aquariums with greater nutrient demand.
High Tech
The complete Elemental system, adding independent Iron supplementation for maximum nutrient control.

Elemental
Individual nutrient formulas for aquarists who want to fine-tune their fertilization program.

ELEMENTAL FAQ
Questions? Start here.
Elemental is built to make individual nutrient dosing flexible without making your routine unnecessarily complicated.
Do I need all five Elemental products?
No. That's one of the main advantages of Elemental. You can use individual nutrients, choose one of the Elemental packages, or build your own combination based on how you prefer to fertilize your planted aquarium.
Which Elemental package should I choose?
Low Tech includes Potassium and Trace. Medium Tech adds Nitrogen and Phosphorus. High Tech includes the complete five-product system by adding Iron. Choose the level that matches how much independent nutrient control you want.
Can I buy the Elemental nutrients individually?
Yes. Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium, Iron and Trace are each available individually, so you don't have to purchase a complete package if you only want control over a specific nutrient.
Can I use Elemental with Thrive?
Yes. Elemental can be used to supplement an all-in-one fertilization routine when you want additional control over a specific nutrient. When combining fertilizers, account for the nutrients you're already adding through your regular fertilizer and adjust your dosing accordingly.
How much Elemental should I dose?
The standard Elemental dose is 1 pump per 5 gallons. Dose individual nutrients as needed as part of your aquarium's fertilization routine.
How often should I dose Elemental?
Elemental is designed for flexible dosing rather than requiring every nutrient to be added on the same schedule. Dose the individual nutrients as needed based on your aquarium and fertilization approach.
What's the main difference between Elemental and Thrive?
Thrive is an all-in-one approach that supplies multiple nutrients from a single bottle. Elemental separates nutrients into individual formulas so you can change one part of your fertilization routine without automatically changing the others.
Start with the Elemental package that fits the level of control you want. You can always add individual nutrients later as your dosing routine evolves.
