Discus trace supplies a broad range of trace elements demonstrated to be necessary for proper sh health and growth. Unlike terrestrial animals, fish obtain nutrients from both their food and environment. Trace elements are normally depleted by utilization, oxidation and precipitation, thus it is important to restore them on a regular basis. Discus trace contains only those elements actually demonstrated to be required by fish.

• Discus Specific
• Restores Nutrients
• No Sodium

Seachem Flourish Advance is an all natural growth enhancer for live aquarium plants, with an enhanced formula that uses phytohormones, minerals, and nutrients to stimulate dramatic growth in roots and shoots. When used regularly, it also heightens mineral absorption and disease resistance.

• Natural phytohormone supplement for the planted aquarium
• Dramatically stimulates the growth of roots and shoots in aquatic plants
• Enhances mineral absorption and improves disease resistance
• Non-toxic and completely safe for all plants, fish and aquatic organisms

What makes it special Phytohormones give Flourish Enhance an edge over other aquarium plant growth enhancers. They are naturally occurring compounds that play important roles in regulating plant growth in a wide variety of processes, including cell division, formation and activity of shoot meristems, induction of photosynthesis gene expression, leaf senescence, nutrient mobilization, seed germination, root growth, and stress response.

For ten to fourteen days after application, Flourish Advance stimulates root growth beneath the surface. After this initial induction period, significantly enhanced growth in the leaves and stems of the plants will occur.

Directions: Shake well before use. Use 1 capful (5 mL) for every 80 L (20 gallons). Dose daily or as required to maintain plant growth.

• PolyGuard treats bacterial, fungal, and parasitic diseases
• Very broad spectrum freshwater medication
• Good choice when unsure of the disease

When our pets are sick, we immediately want to reach for the most powerful medication on the shelf. However, sometimes the right choice to prevent stress is to opt for a gentler medication at first, especially with less severe infections. PolyGuard is among Seachems strongest medications and is best used when you are unsure what disease you are treating or when the fish is suffering from multiple infections.

Active ingredients: sulfathiazole (36%), malachite green (1.9%), nitrofurantoin (0.14%), nitrofural (0.14%), quinacrine dihydrochloride (0.27%). Inactive ingredients: excipients (61%).

Before Treating
Remove all invertebrates - these are extremely sensitive to medication. Turn off UV filters, and ozone filters, and remove chemical filtration like MatrixCarbon and Purigen. Ensure that your tank is fully cycled and stable; poor water quality is the root cause of most fish diseases, and adding medication will do no good if the water chemistry is still bad.

Dosing:
Use 1 measure (included) per every 40 L (10 US gallons) of water. Repeat this dose every 72 hours for a maximum of 2 weeks. Repeat every 3 days for up to 2 weeks or until symptoms disappear. Use whenever introducing new fish.

After Treating
When the treatment period is over, PolyGuard can easily be removed using activated filter carbon like MatrixCarbon. It does not linger in the substrate or filter media of the tank.
