Aquario Neo Solution 2 - Micronutrient Liquid Fertilizer
Product Overview
Aquario Neo Solution 2 is a comprehensive micronutrient liquid fertilizer supplying trace elements, including iron, boron, molybdenum, and calcium, alongside natural amino acids and humic acid directly to the water column. Plants absorb these to support enzymatic function, cell division, and healthy new growth, addressing deficiencies that cause pale, chlorotic, or distorted leaf tissue.
Selecting the Right Formula (Neo Solution Guide)
Aquario Neo Solution offers four targeted formulas to match specific aquatic plant requirements and deficiencies. Use the guide below to select the ideal formula for your setup:
| Formula | Key Composition | Primary Effect & Ideal Usage |
|---|---|---|
| Solution 1 | Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium, Magnesium | Promotes rapid growth; use when macronutrients are lacking or rapid growth is required. |
| Solution 2 | Fe, B, Mo, Ca, Micros, Amino & Humic Acids | Balances growth and color; ideal for pale, twisted, or distorted new leaves. |
| Solution K | Potassium | Promotes photosynthesis; ideal when leaf pinholes are observed. |
| Solution FE | Iron | Enhances vibrant colors (especially red plants) and corrects pale new leaves. |
Dosing & Application Instructions
Standard Direction: Dose 2 pumps (2mL) for every 5 gallons of aquarium water every 3 days. Adjust Solution 2 application rates based on your specific aquarium setup using the reference table below*:
| Aquarium Setting | Solution 2 Dosage Rate |
|---|---|
| New Aquarium (<30 Days) | None (Do not dose) |
| Normal Planted Aquarium | 2 mL per 5 Gallons (Standard Dose) |
| Fast Growth Required / High Light | 1 mL per 5 Gallons (50% Less) |
| Low Light / Low Plant Mass | 2 mL per 5 Gallons (Standard Dose) |
| Color Enhancement Focus | 3 mL per 5 Gallons (50% More) |
- *The recommended dosage assumes regular 20% minimum weekly water changes.
- Shake well before use.
- Do not use in dedicated dwarf shrimp breeding tanks.
- Apply the recommended dosage every 3 days using the calibrated pump dispenser.
- Adjust application rates upward or downward based on lighting intensity, CO2 levels, and plant biomass.
- Perform a minimum weekly water change of twenty percent to maintain water column clarity and prevent parameter skew over time.
- If nuisance algae appears, decrease the dosage volume and increase the frequency of consistent water changes.
- Keep out of reach of children.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is Aquario Neo Solution 2 safe for freshwater dwarf shrimp?
Aquario explicitly recommends avoiding the use of Neo Solution 2 in dedicated shrimp breeding tanks, though it is safe for general planted aquariums containing ornamental fish and snails.
2. How do I prevent algae outbreaks when dosing micronutrients?
Ensure lighting levels match photosynthetic demand, perform regular 20% weekly water changes, and decrease the dosage volume immediately if opportunistic algae begins to appear in the tank.
3. How does Neo Solution 2 compare to other formulas in the Aquario Neo Solution lineup?
Aquario Neo Solution 2 provides essential trace elements, amino acids, and humic acid to support steady development and correct leaf distortions, whereas Solution 1 provides primary macronutrients for rapid growth, Solution K supplies targeted potassium to fix leaf pinholes, and Solution FE delivers concentrated chelated iron for deep color enhancement in red aquatic plants.
