Seachem Flourish Phosphorus

Phosphorus is one of the main three macro nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium: NPK) required by plants and can often become the limiting factor to growth in a flourishing system. Flourish Phosphorus is a safe solution (4,500 mg/L phosphate) of potassium phosphate that takes the guesswork out of phosphate dosing. Unlike competing products that mix nitrate and phosphate in a fixed ratio, Flourish Phosphorus (being nitrate free) allows you to dose phosphorus according to the needs of your plants without the risk of overdosing nitrates. When used as directed, Flourish Phosphorus will enhance and accelerate the growth of aquatic plants without enhancing algae growth. For maximum benefit, use with Flourish Nitrogen and Flourish Potassium. Flourish Phosphorus is safe for invertebrates such as shrimp.

Features:

• Phosphorus supplement for the planted aquarium
• A safe 4500 mg/L solution of potassium phosphate
• Takes the guesswork out of phosphate dosing

Directions:
Beginner
Use 2.5 mL (half a cap) for each 80 L (20 US gallons) once or twice a week, or as needed in response to signs of phosphorus deficiency (e.g. stunted growth, plants dark green).

Expert
The beginner dose raises phosphorus by 0.05 mg/L (0.15 mg/L phosphate). The ideal phosphate level will vary, but generally ranges from 0.15–1.0 mg/L. Use MultiTest Phosphate to monitor phosphate levels. To target a specific phosphate increase, dose according to the following formula: 0.8vp = m, where v = volume of tank in gallons, p = desired phosphate increase, and m = volume of product to use in mL. For example, to raise 20 gallons to 0.1 mg/L phosphate you would use: 0.8 × 20 × 0.1 = 1.6 mL.
