Flourite 7kg
Flourite 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 is most effective when used alone as an integral substrate bed, but it may be mixed with other gravels.
KEY FEATURES:
- Premium natural gravel for the planted aquarium
- Good for the life of the aquarium

Transform your aquascape with the ultimate foundation for lush, vibrant live aquatic plants. Seachem Flourite is a specially fractured, stable porous clay gravel designed specifically for natural planted aquariums. Unlike cheap alternatives, it never breaks down, becomes muddy, or needs to be replaced—making it a lifetime investment for your tank.
Whether you are a beginner setting up your first low-tech tank or an expert aquascaping a high-tech setup with heavy root-feeders like Amazon Swords and Crypts, Seachem Flourite provides the structural and nutritional support your plants crave.
Why Choose Seachem Flourite?
All-Natural & Unaltered Chemistry: Flourite is completely organic and chemical-free. It will not alter your water pH or water hardness, ensuring a stable environment for your fish, shrimp, and delicate aquatic plants.
Rich in Essential Micro-Nutrients: This premium substrate is naturally packed with iron and vital minerals, encouraging strong, healthy root development right from the start.
High CEC (Cation Exchange Capacity): Flourite acts like a nutrient magnet. Its porous structure absorbs liquid fertilizers and fish waste nutrients from the water column and holds them right where the roots can easily absorb them.
Lifetime Durability: Unlike standard aquasoils that disintegrate into mud over 1 to 2 years, Flourite stays crisp and structural for the entire lifespan of your aquarium.
How to Use Seachem Flourite
For best results, you can use Seachem Flourite as a standalone substrate bed, or mix it with other gravels.
Pro Tip for Crystal Clear Water: Because it is a natural clay product, Flourite contains dust from shipping friction. Always rinse it thoroughly in a bucket with a garden hose or siphon before adding it to your tank. When filling your tank, pour water over a small plate or plastic bag placed on the substrate to prevent disturbing the bed.
Specifications & Key Elements
Substrate Type: Natural Fractured Porous Clay
Best For: Live Aquatic Plants, Aquascaping, Shrimp Tanks, Community Aquariums
Grain Size: Mixed gravel texture (ideal for robust root anchoring)
Chemical Impact: PH Neutral, does not alter water hardness
SET-UP:
Although it is pre-washed, because Flourite is a natural product, it may become dusty in transit and require rinsing before use to remove any residual dust.
When adding water to aquarium, fill slowly to avoid disturbing Flourite 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.

EQUILIBRIUM 600G
Size:Â 600 gEquilibrium is specifically designed to establish the ideal mineral content for the planted aquarium. Equilibrium contains no sodium or chloride. Equilibrium contains only calcium, magnesium, and potassium salts, which aid in fish metabolism, but are also highly beneficial to plant growth.
KEY FEATURES:
- Restores and maintains mineral balance and GH
- Does not contain sodium or chloride like competing products
- Ideally suited for use with RO or DI water or any mineral deficient water
DIRECTIONS:
To raise mineral content/general hardness (GH) by 1 meq/L (3 dH), add 16g (1 tablespoon) for every 80L (20 US gallons) when setting up an aquarium or when making water changes (add to new water). For optimum solubility we recommend mixing with 1L (1 qt.) of water (the resulting mixture will have a white opaque appearance). When this mixture is added to the aquarium it will impart a slight haze that should clear within 15-30 minutes.SKU: SE443 - FISH CARE, Medicine

Flourish Potassium 250ml
Size:Â 250 mLFlourish Potassium contains 50,000 mg/L of potassium suitable for the natural planted aquarium. Potassium is one of several elements that are vitally important to maintaining a vigorous level of growth in a planted aquarium.
KEY FEATURES:
- Potassium supplement for the planted aquarium
- Highly concentrated (50,000 mg/L)
- Does not contain phosphate or nitrate making it ideal for use with Flourish Nitrogen and Flourish Phosphorus
DIRECTIONS:
Use 1 capful (5mL) for every 125L (30 US gallons). This dose raises potassium by 2 mg/L. Repeat 2-3 times per week or as needed in response to signs of potassium deficiency in older leaves which include: chlorosis (yellowing), necrosis (death/browning), pinholes in leaves, and weak stems and roots.SKU: REF: SE466 - Aquascape Essentials, Plant Fertilizers
Flourish Nitrogen 250ml
Size:Â 250 mLFlourish 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.
