  • GROWTH TREATMENT: Seachem Flourish Tabs are growth stimulating tablets for plant roots which contain essential trace elements, amino acids, and vitamins.
  • VITAMINS: Seachem Flourish Tabs are rich in iron, manganese, magnesium, calcium, potassium, inositol, choline B12, biotin, and other factors that have been determined to be beneficial to aquatic plant roots.
  • NUTRIENTS: When inserted into the gravel, Seachem Flourish Tabs provide direct, time-released fertilization to the plants’ root zone. Nutrients are slowly made available through enzymatic action of the plants’ roots on the tabs.
  • TANK USE: Insert one Flourish Tab in the gravel for every 10–15 cm (4–6 in.) radius. A standard 10 gallon aquarium requires 6 tabs. Distribute the tablets evenly throughout the gravel bed, pushing each tablet midway into the gravel bed.
  • COMPLETE MAINTENANCE: For optimal plant growth, add new Flourish Tabs to the aquarium once every three to four. Seachem Flourish Tabs will not alter pH, however, in very soft or unbuffered water, they have slightly acidic properties similar to peat moss.

Seachem Flourish Excel Bioavailable Carbon - Organic Carbon Source for Aquatic Plants 500 ml

Seachem Flourish Excel Bioavailable Carbon - Organic Carbon Source for Aquatic Plants 500 ml
BESTSELLER NO. 4 in 2023
  • CARBON PRODUCTION: All plants require a source of carbon, and Flourish Excel is a great and convenient source of bioavailable organic carbon.
  • IRON PRODUCTION: Flourish Excel also possesses iron reducing properties, thus promoting the ferrous state of iron (Fe+2), which is more easily utilized by plants than ferric iron (Fe+3).
  • PHOTOSYNTHESIS: Plants must produce longer chain carbon compounds (photosynthetic intermediates). By dosing with Flourish Excel you bypass the involvement of chain carbon compounds, and introduce the already finished, structurally similar compounds.
  • TREATMENT: On initial use or after a major (> 40%) water change, use 1 capful of Flourish Excel (5 mL) for every 40 L (10 US gallons). Thereafter, use 1 capful for every 200 L (50 US gallons) daily or every other day. For smaller dosing please note that each cap thread is approximately 1 mL.
  • SAFETY: Flourish Excel is completely safe for fish, however if you have Anacharis in an aquarium in which you are dosing Flourish Excel, then it is recommended to use it every other day rather than daily.

SeaGarden Aquarium Choices

Aquarium plants are very difficult to take care of. However, various vendors sell fake aquarium plants that still give the aquarium a natural look.

Dictyota Verde

Dictyota verde is a fake aquarium plant with ruffled leaves. The tips of the leaves have a pale yellowish-green color and the leaves closer to the stem have more brown. The stem has a green color.

Sargassum Platycarpum

The sargassum platycarpum sports pale and grayish-green leaves. Rough edges and a distinct red stem distinguish the sargassum platycarpum from the other plants created by SeaGarden.

Dictyota Rossa

The Dictyota rossa stands out with pinkish-red color. This plant has not a hint of green on it. Observers might struggle to point out where the leaves end and the stem begins. The leaves simply look like wider parts of the stem.

Red Hemi

Another pinkish-red plant created by SeaGarden is the Red Hemi. Individual leaves and stems grow on this plant. Barely visible veins cover the Red Hemi.

Broad Leaf Ludwiga

The Broad Leaf Ludwiga looks brown and red. Ruffled leaves attach to long and thin stems. Some parts of the stems completely lack leaves, while other parts have leaves clustered around them.

Tiger Lotus

The Tiger Lotus has large leaves with grayish-green color. Spots cover the Lotus like freckles, making the leaves look somewhat dirty. The leaves attach to long and thin stems.

Curly Crispus

The Curly Crispus gets its name from the very dark green, curly leaves. The curly leaves wiggle with the bubbles in the aquarium. The leaves almost have an isosceles triangle shape with the thinnest point attaching to the stem.
