Seachem Flourish Trace 500ml

Seachem Flourish Trace is a specialized supplement formulated to provide essential trace elements for freshwater planted aquariums, supporting the vital biological processes necessary for healthy plant growth. Over time, these trace elements can be depleted due to plant uptake, filtration, and water changes, making regular supplementation important for maintaining a balanced and thriving planted tank ecosystem. Flourish Trace helps restore these key minerals without altering water quality, ensuring a healthy environment for both plants and aquarium inhabitants.

Key Features:

• Replenishes Essential Trace Elements: Supplies crucial minerals such as iron, magnesium, calcium, manganese, cobalt, and zinc, which are vital for various biological functions in plants, including photosynthesis, enzyme function, and overall growth.
• Supports Plant Health and Growth: These trace elements are fundamental for maintaining vibrant, lush plant growth and preventing deficiencies that can lead to stunted growth, discoloration, and poor overall plant health.
• Safe for Aquarium Inhabitants: Flourish Trace provides the necessary nutrients for plants without impacting the health of fish, invertebrates, or other aquatic organisms. It does not contain toxic metals or substances that could harm the ecosystem when used as directed.
• Non-Altering to Water Quality: Unlike some fertilizers that may affect pH or other water parameters, Flourish Trace is designed to provide nutrients without causing shifts in water chemistry, making it suitable for all types of freshwater setups.
• Prevents Deficiencies: In aquariums with dense plant populations or frequent water changes, Flourish Trace ensures that plants consistently receive the trace elements needed for continued health, reducing the risk of nutrient deficiencies.

Benefits:

• Vital Nutrients for Long-Term Plant Growth: Trace elements like iron, magnesium, and calcium are critical for plant metabolic processes, including the formation of chlorophyll and the activation of various enzymes. Regular use of Flourish Trace helps prevent nutrient-related plant issues, such as yellowing leaves or poor growth.
• Works with Other Seachem Products: Flourish Trace is designed to complement the broader Seachem Flourish line, allowing aquarists to create a comprehensive fertilization routine. It pairs well with Seachem Flourish, Seachem Flourish Iron, and other macro- and micro-nutrient supplements.
• Regular Dosing Maintains Optimal Conditions: Frequent supplementation ensures that trace element levels remain consistent in the water column, preventing plant stress and promoting long-term health.

Integrating Seachem Flourish Trace with Other Products:

To ensure optimal nutrient balance in your planted tank, Seachem Flourish Trace can be integrated into a broader fertilization routine with other Seachem products. Each product complements different aspects of plant nutrition:

1. Seachem Flourish (Comprehensive Supplement):

   • Use Flourish as a base fertilizer to provide a wide range of macro- and micronutrients. Combine it with Flourish Trace to ensure that trace elements, which can be depleted rapidly, are consistently replenished.

2. Seachem Flourish Iron:

   • Plants, especially red species, often need additional iron for proper chlorophyll production. Use Flourish Iron alongside Flourish Trace to supply both iron and trace elements like manganese, ensuring your plants thrive.

3. Seachem Flourish Excel:

   • Flourish Excel provides a carbon source that supports photosynthesis. Use it with Flourish Trace to ensure plants receive both carbon and trace elements, boosting their metabolic activity and growth.

4. Seachem Flourish Potassium:

   • Potassium is an essential macronutrient, and combining Flourish Trace with Seachem Flourish Potassium provides a full range of nutrients, covering both macro- and micronutrient needs.

5. Seachem Flourish Nitrogen and Seachem Flourish Phosphorus:

   • Nitrogen and phosphorus are crucial for plant growth. Use these in combination with Flourish Trace to maintain balanced nutrient levels, particularly in heavily planted tanks.

6. Seachem Flourish Advance:

   • Flourish Advance promotes root development and tissue growth. Using it alongside Flourish Trace ensures plants have the micronutrients necessary to support the enhanced growth triggered by Advance.

   Sample Dosing Schedule:

   • Day 1: Dose Seachem Flourish for broad nutrient coverage.
   • Day 3: Dose Seachem Flourish Trace to replenish trace elements.
   • Day 5: Dose Seachem Flourish Iron or Seachem Flourish Potassium as needed, depending on plant species and signs of deficiency.
   • Every 1-2 Days: Dose Seachem Flourish Excel for a steady supply of carbon.
   • Weekly or as Needed: Use Seachem Flourish Nitrogen and Phosphorus based on plant uptake and water testing.

   This schedule ensures that your plants receive a continuous supply of the nutrients they need without overwhelming the system, while Flourish Trace serves as a key component in keeping trace elements consistently available.

   Dosage and Directions:

   • Standard Dose: Add 5 mL (1 capful) for every 80 liters of water twice a week. For high-demand tanks, such as those with dense plant growth or frequent water changes, adjust the dosage as needed.
   • Use with Regular Water Testing: While Flourish Trace is designed for regular use, it’s recommended to monitor water conditions to ensure balanced nutrient levels in your tank.

   Available Sizes:

   • 50 mL, 100 mL, 250 mL, 500 mL, 2 L, 4 L

   Storage:

   • Long Shelf Life: Store in a cool, dry place, tightly sealed after each use to maintain product efficacy over time.

   Seachem Flourish Trace provides an essential, easy-to-use solution for ensuring that freshwater plants receive the critical trace elements they need for vibrant growth. Whether used in combination with other Seachem products or as part of a broader plant care routine, Flourish Trace helps maintain optimal nutrient levels for the long-term health of your planted aquarium.
