If your aquarium plants look pale, washed out, or are growing slowly despite dosing a comprehensive fertiliser, they may be lacking trace elements. Seachem Flourish Trace 250mL replenishes essential trace elements that are rapidly depleted in planted aquariums. Unlike macronutrients (nitrogen, phosphate, potassium), trace elements are required in smaller amounts but are just as critical for proper plant metabolism and colour development. Over time, regular water changes and plant uptake strip these micronutrients from the water column — and without replacement, growth stalls. What It Helps Fix ✔ Pale or dull leaf colour✔ Slowed growth despite good lighting✔ Poor overall plant vitality✔ Weak new shoots✔ General micronutrient deficiency symptoms How You Know You Need It You perform frequent water changes You dose macros but not trace elements Plants grow but lack vibrancy You run a high-light or CO₂-injected tank Dosage Standard Dose: 5mL per 80L, twice weeklyFor heavily planted aquariums, dose more frequently as needed based on plant demand. Best used alongside a complete fertiliser program such as Seachem Flourish and individual macro supplements. For balanced micronutrient support and healthier, more vibrant plants, Seachem Flourish Trace 250mL is an essential part of a well-rounded planted tank routine.
