LCA Low Tech Complete Fertiliser

All-in-one fertiliser designed for low tech planted aquariums and nano tanks

Quick Facts

  • Type: Complete liquid fertiliser
  • Best For: Low tech planted tanks
  • Contains: Micro + Macro nutrients (NPK + trace)
  • Suitable For: Nano tanks & planted aquariums
  • Livestock Safe: Fish, shrimp, and snails
  • Application: Pump dosing system

Is this for you?

✔️ Good if:

  • You run a low-tech planted aquarium
  • You keep slower-growing aquatic plants
  • You want a simple all-in-one fertiliser
  • You keep nano tanks with limited dosing complexity

❌ Avoid if:

  • You run a heavy CO₂ high-light system
  • You want separate nutrient control
  • You rarely maintain or trim plants
  • You expect fertiliser alone to fix unhealthy plant growth

Why this fertiliser?

LCA Low Tech Complete is formulated specifically for lower-demand planted aquariums where plant growth is slower and nutrient uptake is more moderate.

It combines both macro nutrients (Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium) and trace elements into one simple dosing solution, helping support healthy plant growth without needing multiple bottles.

It is particularly suited to nano tanks, shrimp-safe planted setups, and aquariums without injected CO₂.

Common mistakes

  • Overdosing in lightly planted tanks
  • Expecting fertiliser to fix poor lighting or poor substrate
  • Using fertiliser without regular water changes
  • Adding nutrients to tanks with unstable algae issues
  • Assuming more fertiliser = faster growth

Use made simple

  • Shake bottle before use
  • Dose according to tank size
  • Best used with regular water changes
  • Works well in low-light or nano planted tanks
  • Monitor plant response and adjust if needed

Pair with

  • Low tech aquatic plants
  • LED planted tank lighting
  • Root tabs for heavy root feeders
  • Stable weekly maintenance routine
  • Planted aquarium substrate
NTA Insight:
Low-tech tanks usually fail from inconsistency, not lack of fertiliser. This works best when dosed lightly and regularly alongside stable lighting and maintenance.

FAQ

Is this safe for shrimp tanks?

Yes. It is generally safe for shrimp, fish, and snails when dosed correctly.

Does this contain NPK nutrients?

Yes. It includes Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium, plus trace elements.

Can I use this in a nano tank?

Yes. It is particularly well suited for nano planted aquariums.

Does this replace CO₂?

No. It supports plant growth but does not replace injected CO₂ systems.

How often should I dose?

Follow manufacturer guidelines and adjust based on plant growth and tank conditions.

No Instructions - Easy to build and study
Size: 4-tier, Style: wall mount&floor mount
I ordered 3, and my wife loves the look of them. They seem to support a decent amount of weight. I supervised my 7 year old (55 lbs) as she scaled a single shelf bracket up the wall after it was mounted, without the planks. You do need to have some amount of handiness to be looking at buying as it does not come assembled, and does not have the wood planks with it. A little learning curve I had. Keep the rods only hand snug, not tight, snug, and then as you put it up to the wall adjust as needed to get the heights and widths right to the opposing shelf. There is also only 8 pipe brackets to hold the shelves down (2 per shelf) and I did not realize this at first and assumed I had 16 (4 per shelf). I had to go back and fix.

Game changing storage!
Size: 4-tier, Style: wall mount&floor mount
I love the shelves. I got to use my own wood which was a reclaimed piece that I found and sanded and then stained. I'm so proud to see them on the shelves. It got so much clutter corralled from around the room and put in one place where it all looks good displayed together. The support pieces are very good quality and I found this to be very good value for the price. I'm very happy with this item.

Good all around, some imperfections on threads difficult to screw together
Size: 4-tier, Style: wall mount&floor mount
I received a complete product as advertised, it's a solid steel design with everything you need to mounted included. One small issue I encountered is that the pieces screw together but they wouldn't screw all the way it felt difficult and possibly if forced the steel might crack. Unfairly enough other pieces did completely screw in. So it's probably because of imperfections on the threads.

Build w/ a Friend, and BYOL (Bring Your Own Level)
Size: 4-tier, Style: wall mount&floor mount
Definitely a two-person job. Not because it's heavy, but a little awkward at first. I installed the first bracket, and my 12 yo assisted. Then, she hung the second bracket, and I assisted. Have a level handy. I didn't want to roll the dice and allow her to hang from the bracket, but it seems super-strong. We hung the brackets 32" apart, and 6" overhang, i.e. 48" x 12" laminate shelves. Gorgeous.

Nice, sturdy kit...would buy again!
Size: 4-tier, Style: wall mount&floor mount, Size: 4-tier, Style: wall mount&floor mount
Purchasing this kit instead of each piece of pipe and fittings required was a no-brainer. It was especially easy because all pieces are prepainted. It went together with ease. Mounting was simple with planning, measurements, and a level. *Note* I purchase the pine stair treads from Home Depot that are 1" thick and then chemically aged them before adding polycrylic. It is cheaper than plywood and shelving boards, and a full 1" thick rather than 1x12 shelving.
