Brightwell Aquatics FlorinGro – 250mL
Brightwell Aquatics FlorinGro – 250mL
Brightwell FlorinGro is a concentrated nitrogen supplement designed for freshwater planted aquariums. Nitrogen is one of the major nutrients aquatic plants need for healthy growth, color, and overall development, especially in planted tanks where nitrate levels are too low to support strong plant growth.
This formula provides nitrate in a form that plants can use, making it a helpful supplement for aquariums with fast-growing plants, high lighting, CO₂ injection, or low fish load where natural nitrate production may not be enough.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Brightwell FlorinGro do?
FlorinGro provides nitrogen in the form of nitrate to help support healthy growth in freshwater planted aquariums.
When should I use FlorinGro?
Use FlorinGro when nitrate levels are too low for healthy plant growth, especially in heavily planted tanks, high-light tanks, CO₂-injected aquariums, or aquariums with a low fish load.
Is FlorinGro safe for fish and shrimp?
FlorinGro can be used in freshwater planted aquariums with fish and invertebrates when used as directed. Always test nitrate levels and avoid overdosing.
What nitrate level should I aim for in a planted aquarium?
Brightwell recommends maintaining nitrate between 10–20 ppm in planted aquariums and not exceeding 25 ppm when fish and invertebrates are present.
How often should I dose FlorinGro?
The basic dose is 5mL per 50 gallons every other day, or approximately 1mL per 10 gallons, as needed based on nitrate testing and plant growth.
Can FlorinGro help yellowing plants?
It may help if the yellowing is caused by nitrogen deficiency. However, yellowing can also be caused by low iron, potassium, lighting issues, CO₂ imbalance, or poor root nutrition.
Should I test my water before using FlorinGro?
Yes. Since FlorinGro increases nitrate, it is best to test nitrate levels before dosing and adjust the dose based on your aquarium’s needs.
Can I use FlorinGro with other plant fertilizers?
Yes, FlorinGro can be used as part of a planted tank fertilization routine. It pairs well with other supplements when nutrients are balanced and water parameters are monitored.
