Seachem Flourish Potassium
Seachem Flourish Potassium is a highly concentrated potassium supplement for planted aquariums, designed for aquarists maintaining naturally planted tanks and rapidly growing aquatic plants. With 50,000 mg/L of potassium, it helps address potassium depletion without adding nitrate or phosphate to the aquarium.
Key Benefits
- Provides 50,000 mg/L of potassium for planted aquariums.
- Helps maintain potassium levels where source water has low mineral content or plant growth is rapid.
- Allows potassium adjustment without affecting nitrogen or phosphorus levels.
- Derived from potassium sulphate rather than potassium nitrate or potassium phosphate.
- Can be used alongside Seachem Flourish Nitrogen and Seachem Flourish Phosphorus when managing an individual NPK ratio.
Suitable For
Suitable for freshwater planted aquariums, particularly systems where potassium may become a limiting factor for plant growth. Signs associated with potassium deficiency in older leaves may include chlorosis (yellowing), necrosis (death/browning), and weak stems and roots.
Dosage
Use 1 capful (5 mL) for every 125 L (30 gallons). This dose raises potassium by 2 mg/L. Repeat 2–3 times per week, or as needed in response to signs of potassium deficiency in older leaves.
Compatibility
Seachem Flourish Potassium does not contain phosphate or nitrate, making it suitable for use with Seachem Flourish Nitrogen and Seachem Flourish Phosphorus.
