Seachem Flourish Nitrogen 250ml

Seachem Flourish Nitrogen is a highly concentrated nitrogen supplement formulated to address nitrogen deficiencies in freshwater planted aquariums. This unique blend provides both nitrate (NO₃⁻) and ammonium (NH₄⁺) forms of nitrogen, catering to the diverse nutritional requirements of a wide range of aquatic plant species.

Key Features:

• Dual Nitrogen Source: Delivers both nitrate and ammonium, offering comprehensive nitrogen supplementation.
• Targeted Deficiency Correction: Effectively combats nitrogen deficiencies, preventing stunted growth, pale colouration, and overall poor plant health.
• Optimized Nutrient Uptake: Provides plants with the flexibility to utilize their preferred nitrogen form, enhancing nutrient absorption.
• Controlled Ammonium Release: Ammonium is complexed to prevent free ammonia release, ensuring safety for aquatic inhabitants.
• Compatibility: Safe for invertebrates, including shrimp.

Benefits:

• Promotes Vigorous Plant Growth: Supports strong root development, lush foliage, and vibrant colouration.
• Restores Nutrient Balance: Corrects nitrogen imbalances, preventing malnutrition and promoting healthy plant development.
• Versatile Application: Suitable for a wide variety of aquatic plant species with varying nitrogen preferences.
• Economical and Efficient: Concentrated formula minimizes waste and provides long-lasting supplementation.
• Essential Macronutrient: Supplies a critical macronutrient (nitrogen) often limiting plant growth.

Product Specifications:

• Concentration: 15,000 mg/L nitrogen.
• Nitrogen Sources: Potassium nitrate, urea.
• Composition:
  • Total Nitrogen (N): 1.5%
  • Soluble Potash (K₂O): 2%

Application Instructions

Beginner Dosage:
Use 2.5 mL (half a cap) per 160 L (40 US gallons) twice weekly, or as needed based on observed nitrogen deficiency symptoms (e.g., stunted growth, chlorosis).
Note: Each cap thread is approximately 1 mL for precise dosing.

Expert Dosage:
Beginner dose raises nitrogen equivalent to 1 mg/L nitrate.
This dose supports approximately 4 g (dry) or 20 g (hydrated) plant growth over one month, assuming other essential nutrients are available.
For enhanced growth, increase dosage proportionally.

Targeted Nitrogen Increase Formula:
0.25vn = m

• Where v = tank volume (gallons)
• n = desired nitrogen increase (mg/L) (use 0.05 instead of 0.25 if using "nitrate equivalent")
• m = product volume (mL)

Example: To raise 20 gallons by 0.20 mg/L nitrogen: 0.25 x 20 x 0.20 = 1 mL.
Nitrogen Level Estimation: Double nitrate readings for a reasonable estimate of total nitrogen levels.

Optimal Results:
For maximum benefit, use in conjunction with Seachem Flourish Phosphorus and Flourish Potassium.
