Seachem Flourish Potassium is a concentrated source of potassium (K), which is a vital macronutrient for planted aquariums. Potassium plays a key role in numerous plant metabolic processes, including photosynthesis, nutrient transport, and enzyme activation. It is one of the three primary macronutrients (Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium) that plants require in large amounts.
Potassium deficiency is common in aquariums because plants consume it quickly, and it is generally not replenished sufficiently through fish food. Symptoms of deficiency include chlorosis (yellowing) of new leaves, blackening of older leaves, and poor growth. Flourish Potassium allows for precise and safe adjustment of potassium levels without affecting nitrate (NO3) or phosphate (PO4) concentrations.
Key Benefits and Features:
Essential Macronutrient: Supplies highly bio-available potassium (K).
Deficiency Correction: Corrects and prevents symptoms of potassium deficiency, such as leaf yellowing and necrosis.
Targeted Dosing: Specifically formulated to raise potassium levels without introducing nitrate or phosphate.
High Concentration: Contains 50,000 mg/L of potassium.
Safe Formula: Safe for all fish and invertebrates when used as directed.
Dosing Recommendation:
Standard Dose: Use 5 ml (one capful) for every 250 litres of water.
Result: This dose raises the potassium concentration by 2 mg/L (ppm).
Recommended Frequency: Dose 2–3 times per week, or as needed to maintain a potassium concentration of 10 to 30 mg/L.
It is highly recommended to use a potassium test kit to monitor levels and adjust dosing accordingly.
