Seachem

Seachem Flourish Iron is a highly concentrated iron supplement for aquariums with live plants. Its simple, pure formula is ideal for iron deficiencies and/or situations when iron requirements are greater than what Seachem Flourish can provide.

• Iron supplement for the planted aquarium
• Highly concentrated (10,000 mg/L) ferrous iron
• Contains no phosphate or nitrate

Flourish Iron contains 10,000 mg/L of ferrous iron (Fe+2) gluconate, a highly effective form of iron that provides greater benefits than ferric state EDTA-iron (Fe+3) sources used in other iron supplements. Plants can only utilize iron in the ferrous state, and must expend extra physiological energy just to make ferric iron supplements usable. Flourish Iron provides plants the iron they need directly, saving time and reducing stress on your plants.

Use Flourish Iron in those cases where iron requirements exceed that which can be delivered by standard Seachem Flourish at the recommended dose, or when signs of iron deficiency appear (including short, slender stems or yellowing between veins).

Directions: Use 1 capful (5 mL) for each 200 L (50 gallons) of water, or as required to maintain about 0.10 mg/L iron. For smaller doses please note that each cap thread is about 1 mL. Use a test kit to monitor iron concentrations. Use as needed to combat signs of iron deficiency (usually seen in new growth).

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.

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 StressGuard is a premium slime coat protector for marine and freshwater aquariums. Using a unique formula, StressGuard reduces fish stress from transportation or handling, promotes healing, and acts as an antiseptic to reduce the risk of infection.

• Premium slime coat protection product for fresh and saltwater aquariums
• Reduces stress when handling or transporting fish
• Promotes healing and acts as an antiseptic for fish

StressGuard is compatible with all non-copper based medications. It is not amine-based and will not interfere with Purigen or HyperSorb, and does not coat resins or clog filtration like other slime coat products can.

What sets StressGuard apart The secret is a protein active colloidal agent that actively seeks out any wounds, abrasions, or exposed proteins, and attaches to the area to deliver disinfectant and begin healing. In the process, the agent also acts as a liquid bandage to keep the abrasion protected. And unlike other slime coats, StressGuard has a pH of 7.0 - meaning it will never interfere with the pH of your aquarium, even when used in large doses.

Directions: Use 1/2–1 capful (2.5–5 mL) to every 10 gallons (40 L) daily until signs of stress have abated or healing is complete. Dose may be safely doubled.

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
• Freshwater and marine medication

Directions: Use alone or in combination with medication of your choice in a 5:1 ratio by volume. Feed directly or blend with fresh or frozen food. Feed as usual, but no more than fish will consume. Use at every feeding for at least five days or until symptoms clear up. This product is not a feed and should not be fed directly. Its intended application is to assist in binding medications to fish food.

Seachem Reef Carbonate helps raise carbonate alkalinity for reef aquariums. A concentrated optimized blend of carbonate and bicarbonate salts designed to restore and maintain alkalinity in the reef aquarium. Calcium and carbonates are essential to all coral growth; If either becomes deficient coral growth will cease followed by a rapid decline in coral health.

• Raises carbonate alkalinity in the reef aquarium
• Concentrated optimized blend of carbonate and bicarbonate salts
• Calcium and carbonates are essential to all coral growth

Used as directed, it will not deplete magnesium or strontium which usually tend to precipitate with increasing alkalinity. 250 milliliters treats 1000 gallons.

Seachem Reef Buffer raises the pH of a reef aquarium to 8.3, without the risk of accidentally raising pH to a dangerous level. It will also raise alkalinity, allowing for greater stability in a reef system where the bioload is significantly greater than in a fish-only aquarium.

• Raises pH and carbonate alkalinity together
• Raises pH to 8.3 without risk of accidentally over-raising
• Allows for greater pH stability in reef systems with high bioload

Reef Buffer will raise pH and carbonate alkalinity. However, it is intended primarily to maintain a steady pH of 8.3 when pH maintenance is difficult. If pH maintenance is not an issue, Seachem Reef Builder or Reef Carbonate should be your first choice to supplement carbonate alkalinity.

Reef Buffer has a slightly higher pK than Seachem Marine Buffer. pK of a buffering agent is equivalent to the pH around which the buffer is most effective; Reef Buffers higher pK (8.6) provides greater stability in a reef system, where the bioload is greater than a fish-only system. The higher pK compensates for the organic acids produced by reef inhabitants, holding pH steady at 8.3.

Directions: Check pH and alkalinity before use. Use 5 g (1 level teaspoon) for every 150 L (40 US gallons) to raise pH by about 0.1 pH units (this will also raise alkalinity by about 0.5 meq/L). For precise dosing, use the Seachem Digital Spoon Scale. Dissolve in at least 250 ml (one cup) of freshwater, then add to the tank. The pH of natural sea water is 8.25–8.30. In a well established reef system, pH adjustment may be necessary biweekly to semiweekly. Dosing requirements will vary, but do not exceed the recommended dose without checking your pH and alkalinity (alkalinity should not exceed 6 meq/L).

If an alkalinity of 6 meq/L has been reached and a pH of at least 8.20 has not been attained or substantial cloudiness that does not clear within 15 minutes is encountered, then the system is not ionically balanced. To restore ionic balance perform a water change or adjust the magnesium and calcium levels to approximately 3:1 Mg:Ca.

DO NOT OVERDOSE: Excess alkalinity may enhance the loss of calcium, magnesium, and strontium. Do not directly mix with any calcium, magnesium, or strontium supplement. Best if calcium and carbonate additives are added on alternate days or at least 30 minutes apart.

Cichlid Trace supplies a broad range of trace elements demonstrated to be necessary for proper sh health and growth. Unlike terrestrial animals, fish obtain nutrients from both their food and environment. Trace elements are normally depleted by utilization, oxidation and precipitation, thus it is important to restore them on a regular basis. Cichlid Trace contains only those elements actually demonstrated to be required by fish.

Reef Trace supplies a broad range of trace elements demonstrated to be necessary for proper reef health and growth. 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. Reef Trace may be used alone or in conjunction with Reef Plus. The best results are obtained when both are used. Reef Trace is nitrate/phosphate free.

• Reef Trace supplies a broad range of trace elements
• Reef Trace may be used alone or in conjunction with Reef Plus
• Reef Trace is nitrate/phosphate free

Replenishment of a number of trace elements is required to maintain an environment ideal for the growth and reproduction of marine life, but while the importance of trace elements has been recognized by aquarists for many years, the physiological reasons are not fully understood. The chemical elements in seawater are varied, and, likewise, their addition to the aquarium in trace quantities has varied effects on a variety of saltwater plants and invertebrate species. In general, though, these elements are important for metabolic processes and pigment formation.

DIRECTIONS: Use 1 capful (5 mL) for every 80 L (20 US gallons) twice a week. When used in conjunction with Reef Plus, dose on alternate days.

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.
