Seachem

Seachem Flourish Tablets are rich in essential trace elements, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals to stimulate healthy growth in aquatic plant roots. They contain no phosphate or nitrate and do not support the growth of nuisance algae.

• Gravel bed supplement for the planted aquarium
• Growth stimulating tablets for plant roots
• Source of micro elements, trace elements and other essential nutrients

These convenient tabs are rich in iron, manganese, magnesium, calcium, potassium, inositol, choline B12, biotin, and other factors that are beneficial for aquatic plant roots. They're an ideal aid for the beginner, with all the nutrients found in Seachem Flourish compressed into an easy-to-use, pre-dosed tablet. Once inserted into the gravel, Flourish Tabs provide direct, time-released fertilization to the root zone. Roots then perform enzymatic action on the tabs, slowly releasing nutrients in healthy doses. Ten tablets will treat a 12"x30" plant bed twice. For best results, use in combination with Flourish.

Directions: Insert one Flourish Tab in the gravel for every 10-15 cm (4"-6") radius. A standard 10 gallon aquarium requires 6 tabs. Distribute the tablets evenly throughout the gravel bed. Add new tablets once every 1-3 months for optimal plant growth. Tabs will not alter pH, but, in very soft or unbuffered water, they have slightly acidic properties similar to peat moss.

Seachem Flourish Trace supplies a broad range of necessary trace elements for proper health and growth of live aquarium plants. Trace elements are normally depleted by utilization, oxidation and precipitation and are important to replenish on a regular basis.

• Restores trace elements on a regular basis
• Resolves a wide variety of visible plant problems
• Supplies a broad range of trace elements for proper plant health and growth

Oxidation and precipitation occur more rapidly with trace elements than with other micronutrients, making it important to restore trace elements on a regular basis. Flourish Trace may be used alone or in conjunction with Seachem Flourish for best results. By providing trace elements separately from essential minerals, you are able to replenish trace elements more frequently without unnecessary build-up of components that are used more slowly.

Signs of trace element deficiencies:

• Boron: Death of stem and root apical meristem, leaves twisted, young tissue most affected
• Cobalt: Used for nitrogen fixation, same as nitrogen deficiency signs (stunted growth)
• Copper: Young leaves dark green, twisted, wilted, tip remains alive
• Manganese: Chlorosis of young leaves, with smallest veins remaining green, necrosis between veins
• Molybdenum: Chlorosis, twisting, death of young leaves
• Zinc: Reduced leaf size, shortened internodes, chlorosis, spotted leaves, older leaves most affected
• Nickel: lack of germination or seed formation, required for iron absorption

Directions: Use 1 capful (5 mL) for every 80 L (20 gallons) twice a week.

Seachem Flourite is an all natural porous clay gravel substrate, specially broken and mineral-enriched to enhance live aquarium plant growth. It requires no gravel modifiers and never needs to be replaced, remaining effective for the life of the aquarium.

• Premium natural substrate for the planted aquarium
• Good for life of aquarium, no replacement necessary
• All natural porous clay composition

Though its appearance is best suited for planted aquariums, Flourite may be used in any aquarium. It is most effective when used alone as an integral substrate bed, but it may also be mixed with other gravels. Flourite is not chemically coated or treated, and will not alter the pH of your aquarium water.

Directions: Flourite is pre-washed, but may be rinsed before use to remove any residual dust. Residual dust can also be minimized by filling the aquarium slowly while evenly dispersing the water to avoid disturbing the Flourite bed. Some slight initial cloudiness is normal and will clear quickly, within 2-12 hours. Mechanical filtration and Seachem Clarity can be used to resolve cloudiness even more quickly.

Tip: To minimize cloudiness from residual dust, place Flourite in a bowl in the aquarium and add water directly to the bowl, allowing water to overflow softly on to the gravel bed.

Note: This package does not feature a mesh bottom.

Flourite Black Sand is a specially fracted stable porous clay gravel for the natural planted aquarium. Its appearance is best suited to planted aquaria, but may be used in any freshwater aquarium environment. Flourite Black Sand is most effective when used alone as an integral substrate bed, but it may be mixed with other gravels. Gravel modifiers such as laterite are not necessary. Flourite Black Sand is not chemically coated or treated and will not alter the pH of the water. Flourite Black Sand is good for the life of the aquarium and need not be replaced.

• Made in USA
• Premium Natural Substrate
• Good for the Life of your Aquarium
• Will Not Alter your Aquariums pH
• Mineral-Rich Substrate Improves Aquarium Plant Growth

INSTRUCTIONS: Although it is pre-washed, because Flourite Black Sand is a natural product, it may become dusty in transit and require rinsing before use to remove any residual dust. When adding water to your aquarium, fill slowly to avoid disturbing Flourite Black Sand substrate bed. Place a bowl in the aquarium and add water directly to the bowl, allowing water to overflow softly on to the gravel bed. Initial cloudiness is normal. To remove cloudiness, use mechanical filtration (such as filter floss). Use Clarity to accelerate clearing.

Seachem Focus is an antibacterial polymer for internal infections of fish. It may be used alone or mixed with other medications to make them palatable to fish and greatly reduce the loss of medication to the water through diffusion.

• Antibacterial polymer for internal infections of fish
• May be used alone or mixed with other medications

Seachem Malawi/Victoria Buffer is a blend of carbonate salts designed to enhance the natural environment of cichlids by increasing hardness and buffer capacity, and reaching and maintaining a healthy pH range of 7.8-8.4.

• Raises and maintains a pH range of 7.8 - 8.4
• Freshwater aquarium additive increases water hardness (alkalinity)
• pH conditioner/buffer for Malawi and Victoria cichlids

For optimum replication of the Malawi/Victoria environment, use with Cichlid Lake Salt and Cichlid Trace.

Directions: Use 5 g (1 level teaspoon) for each 10 to 20 gallons of water each day until desired pH is attained and maintained. Thereafter, use as required to maintain pH, usually no more than once every two to three weeks.

Tips: It is best to dissolve the buffer in freshwater before use. Use when setting up an aquarium or making water changes (preferably after the addition of Seachems Cichlid Lake Salt) and between water changes as needed to maintain pH. Seachems Malawi/Victoria Buffer is formulated to maintain a pH between 7.8 and 8.4, depending on the amount used. To attain a lower pH than 7.8, you may use Seachems Acid Buffer in combination with Malawi/Victoria Buffer. To attain a higher pH than 8.4, use Tanganyika Buffer.

Seachem Marine Buffer will safely raise the pH of saltwater to 8.3, and will not raise the pH above 8.3 even if overdosed. Marine Buffer is a blended product, and contains sodium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, and potassium salts to provide effective results.

• Safely raises and maintains saltwater pH to 8.3
• More stable than sodium bicarbonate or sodium bicarbonate substitutes
• Will not raise pH above 8.3 even if inadvertently overdosed

Seachem Marine Buffer is not just sodium bicarbonate or sodium carbonate (commonly sold as a substitute), as these products can raise pH to dangerous levels if not used properly. Instead it includes a variety of minerals and potassium salts of carbonate, bicarbonate, chloride, sulfate, and borate for safe, accurate dosing.

Directions: Add 5g (1 level teaspoon) for each 20 gallons (80 L). Dissolve in at least one cup of freshwater. This dose will also raise alkalinity by about 1 meq/L. Add daily until pH stabilizes at 8.3. This will take from a day to a week, depending on original pH and alkalinity. Thereafter, use biweekly or monthly to maintain a pH of 8.3. If this practice is not adequate, then overstocking, overfeeding, or other poor management practice should be sought as a likely cause. In ionically balanced marine water, Marine Buffer produces little precipitate or cloudiness. If an extensive precipitate forms upon addition of Marine Buffer that does not dissolve within about 15 minutes, then poor ionic balance was present. A water change should be initiated when convenient before further use of the product. Effectiveness improves with continued use. Do not directly mix with any calcium, magnesium, or strontium supplement.

Note: Product is sold by weight, not volume. Contents may settle in shipment.
