Product Information

Full details

Seachem Flourish Potassium is a highly concentrated supplement designed for hobbyists maintaining lush, planted freshwater aquariums who need a targeted approach to plant nutrition. By providing 50,000 mg/L of soluble potassium, it effectively resolves symptoms of deficiency like chlorosis and weak stems; however, users must measure doses carefully because it is a potent additive that lacks nitrogen and phosphorus, meaning it should be part of a balanced fertilization regimen.

FAQs

Can I use Seachem Flourish Potassium in a shrimp tank?

Yes, it is perfectly safe for use in aquariums housing ornamental shrimp.

How often should I dose this supplement?

It can be dosed once or twice a week, or as needed to address observed deficiency symptoms.

Does this supplement raise the pH of my water?

No, it does not significantly impact the pH or KH/GH levels of the aquarium water.

Can I mix this with other Seachem fertilizers?

Yes, it is designed to be used alongside other Flourish products as part of a complete plant nutrition program.

What are the first signs of potassium deficiency?

Common indicators include yellowing of older leaves, small pinholes, or decaying leaf tissue.

Troubleshooting

Plants are still yellowing despite regular dosing.

Check for nitrogen or magnesium deficiencies, as these also cause yellowing. Ensure you are providing a balanced fertilizer in addition to potassium.

Water appears cloudy after dosing.

Ensure you are not overdosing the tank. Large, sudden changes in water chemistry can cause temporary biological imbalances.
