Seachem Flourish Trace 500ml

Seachem Flourish Trace 500ml

Trace elements supplement for the planted aquarium
Allows  for more frequent dosing than a broad spectrum supplement without  worrying about a build up of more slowly used components

Description

Flourish  Trace supplies a broad range of trace elements demonstrated to be  necessary for proper plant health and growth (see below for signs of  deficiencies). Trace elements are normally depleted by utilization,  oxidation and precipitation. The latter two processes occur more rapidly  than with other micronutrients. This makes it important to restore  trace elements on a regular basis. Flourish Trace may be used alone or  in conjunction with Flourish. Best results are obtained when both are  used. Flourish Trace is safe for invertebrates such as shrimp.

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 US gallons) twice a week. When using  in conjunction with Flourish, dose on alternate days.
