Seachem Discus Trace - 500ml is designed for aquarium hobbyists seeking to optimize the health and growth of their discus fish and other sensitive aquatic life. Its key benefit is providing a comprehensive spectrum of essential trace elements that are naturally depleted in aquarium environments. A potential caveat is its specific formulation, which, while beneficial for discus, might be overly concentrated for less sensitive species if not dosed carefully. This product is a sodium-free mineral supplement that replenishes vital trace and ultra-trace minerals crucial for fish well-being, differentiating itself from aquarium salts that can be detrimental to certain inhabitants and live plants.

For best results, use one capful (5 mL) for every 80 liters (20 gallons) of water once or twice a week.
Yes, Seachem Discus Trace is sodium-free and plant-safe. It is designed to replenish essential minerals without harming delicate aquatic flora.
No, Seachem Discus Trace is a mineral supplement for trace elements and is sodium-free. It is not a substitute for aquarium salt, which serves different purposes and can be harmful to discus and plants.
Seachem Discus Trace supplies a comprehensive range of trace elements proven to be necessary for fish health and growth. The exact list of elements is proprietary but covers essential minerals beyond macro-nutrients.
While Discus Trace provides essential minerals for overall health, it does not directly address appetite issues caused by stress, disease, or poor water quality. Ensure all other husbandry factors are optimal, and consider consulting a veterinarian if problems persist.
The 500ml bottle contains 500 milliliters of Seachem Discus Trace liquid supplement.
The recommended dosage is once or twice a week. Daily dosing is not recommended and could potentially lead to an imbalance of trace elements.
Shake the bottle vigorously before each use. Some settling is normal due to the nature of mineral suspensions.
Ensure correct dosage is being administered consistently. Verify other water parameters (pH, temperature, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate) are within optimal ranges for discus. Trace elements work best in a stable environment.
While unlikely to be a direct cause, ensure you are not over-dosing or adding other nutrient-rich supplements simultaneously. Review your aquarium's nutrient balance.
Setup: Seachem Discus Trace is a liquid supplement. Shake well before use. Add directly to the aquarium. For best results, add when lights are out to minimize potential UV degradation of certain elements.
Compatibility: This product is specifically formulated for discus fish and is safe for planted aquariums and most invertebrates. It is not a replacement for aquarium salt and should not be used as such. It is not intended to treat diseases or provide a source of essential fatty acids or vitamins; it complements a balanced diet and proper water quality. Use in conjunction with other Seachem supplements only as directed.
Care: Store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the cap tightly sealed when not in use. Ensure the product is kept out of reach of children and pets. Use within the recommended shelf life for optimal potency.
