Seachem Flourish Nitrogen
Seachem Flourish Nitrogen is a concentrated nitrogen supplement for planted freshwater aquariums, made for aquarists who want to support healthy aquatic plant growth. It supplies 15,000 mg/L of nitrogen from both nitrate and ammonium sources, helping address nitrogen as a potentially limiting macronutrient in a flourishing planted system.
Key Benefits
- Provides nitrogen in both nitrate and plant-preferred ammonium forms.
- Contains a concentrated 15,000 mg/L blend of nitrogen sources.
- The ammonium is complexed and unavailable until used by plants, so no free ammonia is released.
- Supplies nitrate for aquatic plants that readily use nitrate.
- Safe for aquarium invertebrates, including shrimp.
- Nitrogen is one of the three primary plant macronutrients alongside phosphorus and potassium (NPK).
How to Use
Add Seachem Flourish Nitrogen to your planted aquarium twice weekly or as needed in response to signs associated with nitrogen deficiency, such as stunted growth or chlorosis. For maximum benefit, use it alongside Seachem Flourish Phosphorus and Seachem Flourish Potassium.
Dosage
- Beginner dose: Use 2.5 mL (half a cap) for each 160 L (40 US gallons) twice a week.
- For smaller doses, each cap thread measures approximately 1 mL.
- The beginner dose raises nitrogen by the same degree as 1 mg/L nitrate.
- To target a specific nitrogen increase: 0.25vn=m, where v is aquarium volume in gallons, n is the desired nitrogen increase and m is the volume of product in mL.
- If using a nitrate-equivalent value for n, use 0.05 instead of 0.25 in the formula.
- Example: To raise 20 gallons by 0.20 mg/L nitrogen, dose 1 mL: 0.25 × 20 × 0.20 = 1 mL.
Suitable For
Freshwater planted aquariums, including planted tanks containing shrimp and other invertebrates. It is suited to aquariums where nitrogen needs to be supplemented as part of a balanced plant fertilisation routine.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Seachem Flourish Nitrogen provide to aquarium plants?
It provides a 15,000 mg/L blend of nitrogen sources in nitrate and ammonium forms. Nitrogen is a primary NPK macronutrient required by aquatic plants.
How much Seachem Flourish Nitrogen should I use?
Use 2.5 mL for every 160 L (40 US gallons) twice weekly, or dose as needed based on signs of nitrogen deficiency.
Is Seachem Flourish Nitrogen safe for shrimp?
Yes. The product is safe for invertebrates such as shrimp.
Does this fertiliser release free ammonia into my aquarium?
No. Its ammonium is complexed and is unavailable until utilised by plants, so no free ammonia is released.
Can I use Flourish Nitrogen with other Seachem plant fertilisers?
Yes. For maximum benefit, use it with Seachem Flourish Phosphorus and Seachem Flourish Potassium.
How can I estimate nitrogen levels when using this product?
Because half of the nitrogen in Flourish Nitrogen is from nitrate, you can get a reasonable estimate of nitrogen levels by doubling a nitrate reading.
