Regretably, the sole UK importer & distributor of Kent Marine products has decided not to continue with the import of any Kent Marine products.
Many of the range are now sold out, and most others are in short supply.
At this time, we are not aware of anyone else taking over the import and distribution in the UK
Sorry if this causes our customers any inconveniance, but it is totally outside our control

Kent Botanica Product Information
All Kent Botanica products are free of hormones and gluconates, and require no refrigeration.
- Botanica GH provides the ions necessary to increase general hardness, important because aquatic organisms have evolved under relatively stable conditions, barring seasonal and temporary changes in water chemistry.
- Botanica Humic provides humic acids and tannins, and helps create conditions much like those found in the Amazon region of South America as well as those present in Southeast Asia.
- Botanica KH provides carbonate hardness to minimize pH instability, important because rapid fluctuations in pH can cause death to aquatic organisms.
- Botanica Micro provides several micronutrients in concentrations that are widely regarded by aquatic horticulturists as beneficial to most species of ornamental aquatic plants.
- Botanica Nitro provides nitrogen (as the nitrate molecule), a constituent of proteins, nucleic acids, and other substances required for steady and healthy aquatic plant growth. This product is intended for use by advanced aquarium hobbyists only.
- Botanica PO4 provides phosphorus (as the phosphate molecule), largely utilized during the production of energy during photosynthesis. This product is intended for use by advanced aquarium hobbyists only.
- Botanica Vita provides 14 high quality vitamins for the well-being of ornamental aquatic plants.

Kent Botanica Phos+
Phosphate Supplement
Instructions:
Novice: This product is designed to be used by advanced hobbyists only. Indiscriminate use may result in overgrowth of undesirable algae! Advanced: Each 1 ml of this solution contains 1.51 mg of phosphorus or 4.63 mg as phosphate. After determining the nitrogen concentration in your system, add this product daily to maintain the proper N:P ratio as described below.
Background:
True aquatic plants, as well 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).
In conditions of optimal light, temperature, adequate available carbon and micronutrient concentrations, maintaining a N:P ratio of 10 to 20:1 (10 to 20 nitrogen atoms per 1 phosphorus atom) keeps plant growth steady; all other things being equal, greatly reducing this N:P ratio (particularly by having an overabundance of phosphate with all other nutrients present) may encourage algae growth.
As a well-maintained planted aquarium ages and the concentration of exuded phenolic compounds increases, the likelihood for clean higher plant growth increases. Maintaining the recommended N:P ratio is simply a way to help achieve greater plant growth while maintaining a cleaner system.
In heavily planted aquariums, particularly those with intense lighting and CO2 supplementation (10-15 mg/L), it is often necessary to supplement nitrogen, as well as many other nutrients, in order to facilitate steady plant growth, health, and coloration. Kent Botanica Phos+ provides phosphorus that is readily available to plants.
Because there are many modes of entry for phosphorus into an aquarium, it is desirable that this product be used in conjunction with a test kit that measures total nitrogen content of the water, and a phosphate test kit. Then, add Botanica Nitro+ or Phos+ to achieve the desired N:P ratio.
Hobbyists are encouraged to observe the effects of these products after initial dosing and make adjustments to the dosing amount as required. Botanica Phos+ is formulated to be used with other Kent Botanica products to provide all of the nutrient needs for aquatic plants
