Seachem Flourish is a comprehensive plant supplement for the natural freshwater aquarium. Its rich assortment of important micro elements, trace elements and other nutrients promotes healthy, vigorous growth, health and color in aquatic plants.
- Comprehensive freshwater aquarium plant supplement
- Contains rich assortment of important micro elements
- Helps keep plants healthy and beautiful
Seachem Flourish provides essential micronutrients to encourage vigorous, healthy growth of live freshwater aquatic plants, including calcium, magnesium, iron and other important elements with proven benefits for aquatic plants. This base of micro-nutrients supports macro element (NPK) fertilization in your aquarium.
Flourish provides a wide variety of micro-nutrients, but may also be used with nutrient-specific supplements (including Flourish Nitrogen, Flourish Phosphorus or Flourish Potassium) as needed. Other manufacturers try to include ALL necessary nutrients in one supplement, leading to overdoses of micro-nutrients in an attempt to raise macro-nutrient levels.
Directions: Use 1 capful (5 mL) for each 250 L (60 gallons) once or twice a week. For smaller doses, please note that each cap thread is approximately 1 mL. Refrigeration after opening is recommended but not required.

Seachem Flourish Tablets are rich in essential trace elements, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals to stimulate healthy growth in aquatic plant roots. They contain no phosphate or nitrate and do not support the growth of nuisance algae.
- Gravel bed supplement for the planted aquarium
- Growth stimulating tablets for plant roots
- Source of micro elements, trace elements and other essential nutrients
These convenient tabs are rich in iron, manganese, magnesium, calcium, potassium, inositol, choline B12, biotin, and other factors that are beneficial for aquatic plant roots. They're an ideal aid for the beginner, with all the nutrients found in Seachem Flourish compressed into an easy-to-use, pre-dosed tablet. Once inserted into the gravel, Flourish Tabs provide direct, time-released fertilization to the root zone. Roots then perform enzymatic action on the tabs, slowly releasing nutrients in healthy doses. Ten tablets will treat a 12"x30" plant bed twice. For best results, use in combination with Flourish.
Directions: Insert one Flourish Tab in the gravel for every 10-15 cm (4"-6") radius. A standard 10 gallon aquarium requires 6 tabs. Distribute the tablets evenly throughout the gravel bed. Add new tablets once every 1-3 months for optimal plant growth. Tabs will not alter pH, but, in very soft or unbuffered water, they have slightly acidic properties similar to peat moss.

Seachem Flourite is an all natural porous clay gravel substrate, specially broken and mineral-enriched to enhance live aquarium plant growth. It requires no gravel modifiers and never needs to be replaced, remaining effective for the life of the aquarium.
- Premium natural substrate for the planted aquarium
- Good for life of aquarium, no replacement necessary
- All natural porous clay composition
Though its appearance is best suited for planted aquariums, Flourite may be used in any aquarium. It is most effective when used alone as an integral substrate bed, but it may also be mixed with other gravels. Flourite is not chemically coated or treated, and will not alter the pH of your aquarium water.
Directions: Flourite is pre-washed, but may be rinsed before use to remove any residual dust. Residual dust can also be minimized by filling the aquarium slowly while evenly dispersing the water to avoid disturbing the Flourite bed. Some slight initial cloudiness is normal and will clear quickly, within 2-12 hours. Mechanical filtration and Seachem Clarity can be used to resolve cloudiness even more quickly.
Tip: To minimize cloudiness from residual dust, place Flourite in a bowl in the aquarium and add water directly to the bowl, allowing water to overflow softly on to the gravel bed.
Note: This package does not feature a mesh bottom.

Seachem Flourish Iron is a highly concentrated iron supplement for aquariums with live plants. Its simple, pure formula is ideal for iron deficiencies and/or situations when iron requirements are greater than what Seachem Flourish can provide.
- Iron supplement for the planted aquarium
- Highly concentrated (10,000 mg/L) ferrous iron
- Contains no phosphate or nitrate
Flourish Iron contains 10,000 mg/L of ferrous iron (Fe+2) gluconate, a highly effective form of iron that provides greater benefits than ferric state EDTA-iron (Fe+3) sources used in other iron supplements. Plants can only utilize iron in the ferrous state, and must expend extra physiological energy just to make ferric iron supplements usable. Flourish Iron provides plants the iron they need directly, saving time and reducing stress on your plants.
Use Flourish Iron in those cases where iron requirements exceed that which can be delivered by standard Seachem Flourish at the recommended dose, or when signs of iron deficiency appear (including short, slender stems or yellowing between veins).
Directions: Use 1 capful (5 mL) for each 200 L (50 gallons) of water, or as required to maintain about 0.10 mg/L iron. For smaller doses please note that each cap thread is about 1 mL. Use a test kit to monitor iron concentrations. Use as needed to combat signs of iron deficiency (usually seen in new growth).

Seachem Flourish Potassium provides concentrated potassium to support vigorous growth in aquariums with natural, living plants. This safe, effective supplement helps you avoid potassium depletion, yellowing leaves, and limited plant growth.
- Potassium supplement for the planted aquarium
- Helps maintain a vigorous level of plant growth
- Helps resolve yellowing, death/browning and weak stems and roots
Flourish Potassium contains 50,000 mg/L of potassium - one of the highest concentrations available. Water with low mineral content or systems with rapidly growing live plants can quickly deplete available potassium, causing potassium to become the limiting factor for further growth. Use Flourish Potassium to prevent potassium depletion (signs of which include yellowing in older leaves) and maintain the highest level of growth.
Potassium is most easily obtained from potassium nitrate and potassium phosphate, both of which add either nitrogen or phosphorus to the water and make it more difficult to maintain a specific NPK ratio. However, Flourish Potassium is derived from potassium sulfate, which lets you adjust potassium levels without affecting your tanks nitrogen or phosphorus.
Directions: Use 1 capful (5 mL) for every 125 L (30 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 includes: chlorosis (yellowing), necrosis (death/browning), and weak stems and roots).

Equilibrium is specifically designed to establish the ideal mineral content for the planted aquarium. Equilibrium contains no sodium or chloride (which can be detrimental to a planted aquarium at elevated levels). Equilibrium is ideally suited for use with RO (reverse osmosis) or DI (deionized) water or any mineral deficient water. Equilibrium raises the essential mineral/electrolyte content (General Hardness) of the water to balance with and promote stability of the carbonate hardness. To maintain KH, we recommend Alkaline Buffer. Equilibrium contains NO SODIUM CHLORIDE. Both sodium and chloride are not rapidly depleted elements in a planted aquarium, and, in the case of chloride, can do more harm than good. Also, sodium is not a contributing cation to GH levels. Equilibrium contains only calcium, magnesium, and potassium salts, which aid in fish metabolism but are also highly beneficial to plant growth. Equilibrium guaranteed analysis and symptoms of deficiency
- Restores and Maintains Mineral Balance and GH
- Contains No Sodium or Chloride
- Fast Dissolving Powder Repaces Minerals for Healthy Plant Growth
- Reverse Osmosis Water Conditioner for Freshwater Planted Aquariums
- Made in the USA
INSTRUCTIONS: To raise mineral content/general hardness (GH) by 1 meq/L (3 dH), add 16 g (1 tablespoon) for every 80 L (20 US gallons) when setting up an aquarium or when making water changes (add to new water). For optimum solubility, we recommend mixing with 1 L (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. HINTS: Do not use Equilibrium when replacing evaporated water. This dose is based on DI or RO water; for other water, measure hardness (GH) first, then add according to need. For precise dosing, use the Seachem Digital Spoon Scale. Plant preferences vary, but a general guide is about 1-2 meq/L (3-6 dH) or match the existing or target carbonate hardness (KH), which, ideally, is also about 1-2 meq/L (3-6 dKH). Equilibrium will compact with age, but remains effective.
INGREDIENTS: Amounts per 1g Calcium (Ca) (min) 155 mg calcium (Ca) (max) 160 mg Magnesium (Mg) (min) 8 mg strontium (Sr) (min) 0.16 mg

Seachem Safe Powder will not impact pH levels or overactivate skimmers. It may be used during tank cycling to alleviate ammonia/nitrite toxicity, during start-up or whenever adding or replacing water.
Note: Safe is the dry version of Seachem Prime and shares all of its advantages; however, Safe is even more concentrated than Prime.
Directions for Use:
Note: These directions supersede all other prior packaging.
Directions for 10 g and 50 g:
Use 100 mg Safe (scoop) per each 100 L (25 gallons) as needed to reduce chlorine and chloramine or per 25 L (6 gallons) for ammonia.
Directions for all other sizes:
Use 1.25 g (1/4 tsp.) for every 1,250 L (300 gallons) as needed to reduce chlorine and chloramine or use 1.25 g (1/4 tsp.) for every 300 L (75 gallons) for ammonia.
May be added to aquarium directly, but better if added to new water first. If adding directly to aquarium, base dose on aquarium volume. For exceptionally high chloramine concentrations, a double dose may be used safely. To detoxify nitrite and nitrate in an emergency, up to 4 times normal dose may be used. If temperature is > 30 °C (86 °F) and chlorine or ammonia levels are low, use a half dose.
Reef Strontium's addition to reef aquariums aids the growth of corals, coralline algae, and other organisms that lay down a calcareous skeleton or shell, including tridacnid clams. Reef Strontium is intended to restore and maintain strontium to levels found within natural seawater without affecting pH. Strontium is utilized in the same manner as calcium and holds a similar importance in maintaining a vigorous level of growth.
- Seachem Reef Strontium aids in healthy growth of corals and coralline algae
- Restores and maintains strontium in reef aquariums
- Gluconate complexation provides a rich source of metabolic energy
Reef Strontium contains 10,000 mg/L of available strontium as a gluconate complex. Gluconate complexation offers several benefits: it increases the bioavailability of the strontium, it provides a rich source of metabolic energy to help maintain peak coral growth, and it inhibits strontium precipitation/alkalinity depletion. Gluconate does not contain nitrogen or phosphorus, making it biologically impossible for it to lead to algae growth in a properly maintained reef system.
DIRECTIONS: Use 1 capful (5 mL) per 80 L (20 US gallons) twice a week.
Seachem Reef Builder supplies the carbonates and calcium which are essential for all coral growth. It also raises carbonate alkalinity without immediately impacting water pH, and will stabilize aquarium water at pH 8.3 with long term use.
- Raises carbonate alkalinity (KH) with minimal pH impact
- Provides a blend of carbonate sources that will not lower pH
- Will not deplete calcium, magnesium, or strontium
- Promotes healthy coral growth
If either calcium or carbonates become deficient, coral growth will cease, followed by a rapid decline in coral health. Used as directed, Seachem Reef Builder will not deplete calcium, magnesium, or strontium which usually tend to precipitate with increasing alkalinity.
Seachem Reef Builder and Reef Buffer may be used together: use Reef Builder to raise carbonate alkalinity without affecting pH, and use Reef Buffer to raise carbonate alkalinity and pH. As a general rule, reef alkalinity should be maintained at 3–5 meq/L (8–14 dKH); alkalinity should not be allowed to fall below 2 meq/L.
Directions:
BEGINNER: Use 3 g (1/2 level teaspoon) per 150 L (40 gallons) twice a week. Dissolve in at least 250 ml (1 cup) of freshwater. Check alkalinity every 2 weeks and adjust amount or frequency accordingly. For precise dosing, use the Seachem Digital Spoon Scale.
ADVANCED: Check alkalinity, then follow addition regimen above until alkalinity is adjusted to 4–5 meq/L. Each 3 g/150 L will raise alkalinity by about 0.25 meq/L. Quantity or frequency can be adjusted, but do not exceed 12 g/150 L per day. Thereafter, use as required to maintain alkalinity.
EXPERT: After determining the alkalinity consumption rate, set up a continuous drip system. Use the following formula to determine how much to add to your top–off water: m=0.08va (m=grams to add to top off water, v=volume of tank in liters, a=amount to raise alkalinity in meq/L). For example, if you want to raise your alkalinity by 1 meq/L in a 200 liter tank, then you would add 0.08x200x1=16 g into the top–off water. [For reference: 1 gallon=3.8 liters, 6 g=1 teaspoon].
DO NOT OVERDOSE: Excess alkalinity may enhance the loss of calcium, magnesium, and strontium. Do not directly mix with any calcium, magnesium, or strontium supplement. Best if calcium and carbonate additives are added on alternate days or at least 30 minutes apart.

Reef Calcium is a concentrated (50,000 mg/L) bioavailable polygluconate complexed calcium intended to maintain calcium in the reef aquarium without altering pH. Polygluconate complexation confers several benefits: it increases the bioavailability of the calcium, it provides a rich source of metabolic energy to help maintain peak coral growth, and it prevents calcium precipitation/alkalinity depletion. Polygluconate contains no nitrogen or phosphorous, thus it is biologically impossible for it to lead to algae growth in a properly maintained reef system.
- Maintains calcium
- Accelerates coral growth
- Will not alter pH
Reef Calcium may be used alone to maintain calcium but will provide enhanced levels of coral growth when used in conjunction with an ionic calcium supplement. Reef Calcium is intended to maintain calcium levels; if calcium becomes seriously depleted one should either perform a water change or use an ionic calcium supplement to restore the depleted level of calcium.
