Seachem Flourish Trace | Essential Micro-Nutrients for Plants

Seachem Flourish Trace – Essential Micro-Nutrient Replenishment

Seachem Flourish Trace provides a broad range of trace elements demonstrated to be necessary for proper aquatic plant health and growth. In a closed aquarium system, trace elements are rapidly depleted through utilization, oxidation, and precipitation. Flourish Trace allows for the frequent replenishment of these vital micro-nutrients without the risk of over-accumulating the macro-nutrients found in a broad-spectrum fertilizer.

Targeted Micro-Nutrient Support for Lush Growth

Flourish Trace is specifically engineered to address the "hidden" mineral needs of high-tech and low-tech planted tanks.

• Comprehensive Trace Profile: Contains a scientifically balanced blend of boron, cobalt, copper, manganese, molybdenum, and zinc.

• Prevents Nutrient Deficiencies: Regularly adding trace elements prevents common issues like "stunting," leaf distortion, and chlorosis (yellowing) in sensitive plant species.

• High Bio-Availability: Minerals are provided in a form that is immediately accessible for absorption through both plant leaves and root systems.

• No Macro-Nutrient Overload: Does not contain nitrogen ($N$), phosphorus ($P$), or potassium ($K$), allowing you to maintain micro-nutrients without causing an algae-triggering spike in macros.

• Safe for Invertebrates: Formulated to be completely safe for all aquarium inhabitants, including sensitive ornamental shrimp and snails.

FAQ Section: Common Questions

• How is Flourish Trace different from Seachem Flourish?

  Seachem Flourish is a comprehensive supplement containing both micro and macro elements. Flourish Trace is strictly a micro-nutrient supplement intended for more frequent use to replace elements that are depleted daily.

• How often should I dose Seachem Flourish Trace?

  The recommended dose is 5 mL (1 capful) for every 80 L (20 US gallons) twice a week. In heavily planted tanks, it can be used daily to ensure constant mineral availability.

• Will this cause algae?

  No. Because it lacks the phosphates and nitrates that primarily fuel algae blooms, Flourish Trace helps plants outcompete algae by ensuring they aren't "limited" by a lack of trace minerals.
