Description
The product is a trace element supplement for planted aquariums. It is safe for invertebrates such as shrimp. It supplies a broad range of trace elements demonstrated to be necessary for proper plant health and growth. Trace elements are normally depleted by utilization, oxidation and precipitation. The latter two processes occur more rapidly than with other micronutrients. This makes it important to restore trace elements on a regular basis. Flourish Trace may be used alone or in conjunction with Flourish. Best results are obtained when both are used.

Trace elements supplement for the planted aquarium
Allows for more frequent dosing than a broad spectrum supplement without worrying about a build-up of more slowly used components
