Product Information
Full details
Seachem Flourish Trace is designed for serious aquascapers and hobbyists maintaining high-density planted tanks who need to replenish essential micronutrients that are often depleted through oxidation or plant uptake. This supplement ensures optimal plant health and vibrant growth by delivering a broad spectrum of critical trace elements, though it is intended as a supplemental product rather than a primary nitrogen, phosphorus, or potassium fertilizer.

FAQs
Can I use Seachem Flourish Trace with shrimp?
Yes, Seachem Flourish Trace is specifically tested and verified as safe for invertebrates, including shrimp.
Does this product replace my main fertilizer?
No, it is intended to supplement the trace element profile. You should still use a primary fertilizer for Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium.
How often should I dose this?
The recommended dosage is 5ml per 80 liters, applied twice per week.
Can I overdose Flourish Trace?
While it is relatively safe, you should always adhere to the recommended dosing guidelines to prevent mineral imbalances in your water column.
Do I need to turn off my UV sterilizer when dosing?
It is generally recommended to keep your UV sterilizer running, but ensure the product is dispersed well away from the filter intake.
Troubleshooting
Plants show signs of nutrient deficiency despite dosing
Ensure that your tank's lighting and CO2 levels are balanced, as plants cannot consume trace nutrients if other growth requirements are not met.
Cloudy water after dosing
Check your water current. If the supplement is added directly into a high-flow area, it should disperse immediately. Reduce the dose if the cloudiness persists.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using Flourish Trace, follow a standard dosing rate of 1 capful (5ml) for every 80 liters of aquarium water twice per week. If you are also using the standard Seachem Flourish, alternate your dosing days to avoid over-supplementation. Store the bottle in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the trace minerals. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed after each use to prevent oxidation of the solution. Keep out of reach of children and pets, and ensure you rinse your measuring cap thoroughly to prevent residue buildup.
