ContactSeachem Flourish Nitrogen 500ml
Seachem Flourish Nitrogen is a safe and convenient way for dosing planted aquarium with nitrate and ammonium. It has a special formula that ensures no harmful free ammonia are released into the water.
Ammonium for Plants Only
Nitrogen is one of the main three macro nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium: NPK) required by plants for healthy growth. Unfortunately, aquatic plants in aquarium systems usually do not get enough of such essential nutrients in the form of nitrate and ammonium.
With Seachem Flourish Nitrogen, ammonium is released to aquatic plants only and does not end up as free ammonia in the aquarium system.
Brand : Seachem
Benefits of Flourish Nitrogen
Flourish Nitrogen by Seachem 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.
By dosing with Seachem Flourish Nitrogen, no free ammonia is released into the aquarium because the ammonium in Seachem Flourish Nitrogen is specially formulated to stay unavailable until utilised by the plants.
Free ammonium becomes available only after conversion of urea (carbamide).
Seachem Flourish Nitrogen also provides nitrate for those plants that can readily utilize nitrate as well.
Seachem Flourish Nitrogen is safe for plants and invertebrates such as shrimp.
Ingredients
Amounts per 1 g:
- Total Nitrogen (N) 1.5%
- Soluble Potash (K2O) 2%
Derived from: potassium nitrate, urea
Beginner Dosing
Use 2.5 mL (half a cap) for each 160 L (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 1 mL.
Expert Dosing
The beginner dose raises nitrogen by the same degree that 1 mg/L nitrate would. This dose is sufficient to provide approximately 4 g of growth (dry) or about 20 g (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=1 mL.
Because one-half of the nitrogen in Flourish Nitrogen is from nitrate you can get a reasonable estimate of nitrogen levels by doubling a nitrate reading.
