Questions? We've Got Answers.
Everything you need to know about using Thrive+ in your planted aquarium.
What is Thrive+? +
Thrive+ is a concentrated all-in-one liquid fertilizer for freshwater planted aquariums. It provides essential macro and micronutrients in one formula and is designed for planted tanks with higher nutrient demand.
What types of aquariums is Thrive+ best for? +
Thrive+ is especially well suited to higher-demand planted aquariums, including tanks with strong lighting, CO₂ injection and active plant growth. It is specially formulated for planted aquariums with a pH below 7.
How much Thrive+ should I dose? +
Dose 1 mL of Thrive+ for every 5 gallons of aquarium water.
How often should I dose Thrive+? +
For high-light tanks, dose 1 mL per 5 gallons three times per week. A 50% weekly water change is suggested. For lower-light tanks, dose 1 mL per 5 gallons one to two times per week, with a 20–30% weekly water change suggested.
Can I use Thrive+ if my pH is over 7? +
Yes, but use caution. Thrive+ contains ammonium, and as pH rises above 7, a very small portion of that ammonium can convert to ammonia. In a healthy planted aquarium, the ammonia should be taken up very quickly by the plants. If your pH is above 7, use caution, start slowly and increase your dosing gradually as needed.
What is the difference between Thrive and Thrive+? +
Thrive is our flagship all-in-one fertilizer and is a great choice for a wide range of freshwater planted aquariums. Thrive+ is designed around the greater nutrient demands commonly found in high-tech, high-light and CO₂-injected planted tanks.
Does Thrive+ contain iron? +
Yes. Thrive+ contains 0.65% chelated iron as part of its complete macro and micronutrient formula.
Is Thrive+ safe for shrimp? +
Thrive+ can be used in planted aquariums containing shrimp when dosed as directed. If the aquarium is primarily a shrimp tank, however, ThriveS may be the better fit because it is formulated specifically around the needs and maintenance routines of shrimp-focused planted aquariums.
If Thrive, Thrive+ and ThriveC are safe for shrimp, why do you have ThriveS? +
It comes down to the focus of the aquarium. If shrimp are the primary focus, ThriveS is generally the better choice. Shrimp-focused aquariums benefit from stable water conditions, and water changes are often smaller or less frequent. ThriveS is formulated so regular dosing does not increase the need for water changes beyond normal shrimp-tank maintenance.
Thrive, Thrive+ and ThriveC are also safe for shrimp when used as directed, but those formulas are built around the nutritional demands of the plants and are intended to be used alongside the larger or more frequent water changes common in planted aquariums.
Do I still need root tabs or capsules when using Thrive+? +
It depends on your plants and substrate. Thrive+ supplies nutrients through the water column, while ThriveTabs and ThriveCaps deliver nutrients directly into the substrate. Root-feeding plants can benefit from combining water-column fertilization with root-zone nutrition.
