Seachem Flourish Trace Plant Supplement – 500mL
Seachem Flourish Trace is a trace element supplement for freshwater planted aquariums. Trace elements are required in small amounts, but they play an important role in proper aquatic plant health, growth, and long-term vitality.
Trace elements are quickly depleted through plant use, oxidation, and precipitation. Flourish Trace helps restore these important elements on a regular basis, making it a helpful addition to low-tech planted tanks, high-tech aquascapes, and planted community aquariums.
