Seachem Flourish Nitrogen is a concentrated source of nitrogen designed to address nitrogen deficiencies in freshwater planted aquariums. This formula provides both nitrate (NO3-) and ammonium (NH4+) forms of nitrogen, catering to the diverse needs of various aquatic plants.

Features:

  • Dual Nitrogen Source: Contains both nitrate and ammonium, offering a comprehensive nitrogen supplement for optimal plant growth. Nitrate is readily absorbed by most plants, while ammonium is the preferred nitrogen source for some species.
  • Combats Nitrogen Deficiency: Effectively addresses nitrogen deficiencies that can cause stunted growth, pale coloration, and poor overall plant health.
  • Provides Flexibility: The presence of both nitrate and ammonium allows plants to utilize their preferred nitrogen form, promoting efficient nutrient uptake.

Benefits:

  • Promotes Healthy Plant Growth: Provides essential nitrogen for strong roots, lush foliage, and vibrant coloration in aquatic plants.
  • Addresses Nutrient Imbalance: Corrects nitrogen deficiencies, preventing stunted growth and other signs of malnutrition.
  • Caters to Diverse Plant Needs: The dual nitrogen source ensures efficient uptake by various plant species with different nitrogen preferences.
  • Economical and Long-Lasting: Concentrated formula offers long-lasting nitrogen supplementation with minimal waste.

Nitrogen is one of the main three macro nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium: NPK) required by plants and can often become the limiting factor to growth in a flourishing system.

Flourish Nitrogen is a concentrated (15,000 mg/L) blend of nitrogen sources.

  • Nitrogen supplement for the planted aquarium
  • 15,000 mg/L blend of nitrogen sources
  • Provides nitrogen in both the nitrate form and the ammonium form.

It provides nitrogen in both the nitrate form and the plant–preferred ammonium form.
However, no free ammonia is released because the ammonium in Flourish Nitrogen is complexed and unavailable until utilized by the plants. Ammonium becomes available after conversion of urea (carbamide).
Flourish Nitrogen also provides nitrate for those plants that can readily utilize nitrate as well.
For maximum benefit, use with Flourish Phosphorus and Flourish Potassium.

Flourish Nitrogen is safe for invertebrates such as shrimp.

Directions:
Beginner:
Use 2.5 mL (half a cap) for each 160 L (40 US gallons) twice a week or as needed in response to signs of nitrogen deficiency (e.g. stunted growth, chlorosis). For smaller doses, please note that each cap thread is approximately 1 mL.

Expert:
The beginner dose raises nitrogen by the same degree that 1 mg/L nitrate would.
This dose is sufficient to provide approximately 4 g of growth (dry) or about 20 g (hydrated) over a 1 month period (assuming all other necessary nutrients are provided). For increased growth use proportionately more.

To target a specific nitrogen increase, dose according to the following formula: 0.25vn=m, where v= volume of tank in gallons, n=desired nitrogen increase (if using a “nitrate equivalent” value for “n” then use a factor of 0.05 instead of 0.25 in the formula) and m=volume of product to use in mL.
For example to raise 20 gallons by 0.20 mg/L nitrogen you would use: 0.25*20*0.20=1 mL.

Because one-half of the nitrogen in Flourish Nitrogen is from nitrate you can get a reasonable estimate of nitrogen levels by doubling a nitrate reading.
