Seachem Flourish Phosphorus is an essential supplement providing phosphate (PO4), which is a crucial element for robust and healthy growth in all aquatic plants. Phosphate is a key component of cellular structures, energy transfer (ATP), and DNA synthesis. In a planted aquarium, a lack of phosphate can lead to stunted growth, dark green leaves, or the death of older plant tissue.
Flourish Phosphorus is designed to be used when phosphate levels are low or undetectable in a planted aquarium. It contains potassium phosphate, allowing you to easily and safely manage your phosphate levels without affecting nitrate or potassium levels significantly.
Key Benefits and Features:
Essential Nutrient: Supplies crucial phosphate (PO4) for energy transfer and plant structure.
Plant Health: Prevents symptoms of phosphate deficiency such as stunted growth and darkening of leaves.
Safe Formula: Contains potassium phosphate; safe for fish and invertebrates when used as directed.
NO3 Free: Does not contain nitrate (NO3), allowing targeted control of phosphate levels.
Easy Dosing: Simple to dose to achieve target phosphate concentrations.
Dosing Recommendation:
Standard Dose: Use 2.5 ml (half a capful) for every 160 litres of water.
Result: This dose raises phosphate by 0.05 mg/L (ppm).
Target Level: Aim to maintain a phosphate concentration of 0.1 to 0.3 mg/L (ppm). Dose 1-2 times per week or as needed to maintain this level.
Use a reliable phosphate test kit to monitor levels before and after dosing.
