Plant Neutrients

Flourish is a comprehensive plant supplement for the natural freshwater aquarium. It contains a rich assortment of important micro elements, trace elements and other nutrients. These include calcium, magnesium, iron and other important elements that have been shown to be beneficial to aquatic plants.

KEY FEATURES:

• Comprehensive supplement for the planted aquarium
• Provides micro elements, trace elements and other nutrients
• Does not contain significant levels of nitrogen or phosphorus

DIRECTIONS:
Use 1 capful (5mL) for each 250L (60 US gallons) once or twice a week. For smaller doses, please note that each cap thread is approximately 1mL. Refrigeration is recommended 3 months after opening.

Flourish Nitrogen is a concentrated (15,000 mg/L) blend of nitrogen sources. It provides nitrogen in both the nitrate form and the plant-preferred ammonium form.

KEY FEATURES:

• Nitrogen supplement for the planted aquarium
• 15,000 mg/L blend of nitrogen sources
• Provides nitrogen in both the nitrate form and the ammonium form

DIRECTIONS:
Beginner
Use 2.5mL (half a cap) for each 160L (40 US gallons) twice a week or as needed in response to signs of nitrogen deficiency (e.g. stunted growth, chlorosis). For smaller doses, please note that each cap thread is approximately 1mL.

Expert
The beginner dose raises nitrogen by the same degree that 1 mg/L nitrate would. This dose is sufficient to provide approximately 4g of growth (dry) or about 20g (hydrated) over a 1 month period (assuming all other necessary nutrients are provided). For increased growth use proportionately more.

To target a specific nitrogen increase, dose according to the following formula: 0.25vn=m, where v= volume of tank in gallons, n=desired nitrogen increase (if using a “nitrate equivalent” value for “n” then use a factor of 0.05 instead of 0.25 in the formula) and m=volume of product to use in mL. For example to raise 20 gallons by 0.20 mg/L nitrogen you would use: 0.25*20*0.20=1mL.

Flourish Phosphorus is a safe solution (4,500 mg/L phosphate) of potassium phosphate that takes the guess work out of phosphate dosing.

KEY FEATURES:

• Phosphorus supplement for the planted aquarium
• A safe 4500 mg/L solution of potassium phosphate
• Takes the guesswork out of phosphate dosing

DIRECTIONS:
Beginner
Use 2.5mL (half a cap) for each 80L (20 US gallons) once or twice a week or as needed in response to signs of phosphorus deficiency (e.g. stunted growth, plant dark green).

Expert:
The beginner dose raises phosphorus by 0.05 mg/L (0.15 mg/L phosphate). The ideal phosphate level will vary, but generally ranges from 0.15-1.0 mg/L.

To target a specific phosphate increase, dose according to the following formula: 0.8vp=m, where v= volume of tank in gallons, p=desired phosphate increase and m=volume of product to use in mL. For example to raise 20 gallons to 0.1 mg/L phosphate you would use: 0.8*20*0.1=1.6 mL.
