About this item
- GROWTH TREATMENT: Seachem Flourish Tabs are growth stimulating tablets for plant roots which contain essential trace elements, amino acids, and vitamins.
- VITAMINS: Seachem Flourish Tabs are rich in iron, manganese, magnesium, calcium, potassium, inositol, choline B12, biotin, and other factors that have been determined to be beneficial to aquatic plant roots.
- NUTRIENTS: When inserted into the gravel, Seachem Flourish Tabs provide direct, time-released fertilization to the plants’ root zone. Nutrients are slowly made available through enzymatic action of the plants’ roots on the tabs.
- TANK USE: Insert one Flourish Tab in the gravel for every 10–15 cm (4–6 in.) radius. A standard 10 gallon aquarium requires 6 tabs. Distribute the tablets evenly throughout the gravel bed, pushing each tablet midway into the gravel bed.
- COMPLETE MAINTENANCE: For optimal plant growth, add new Flourish Tabs to the aquarium once every three to four months. Seachem Flourish Tabs will not alter pH, however, in very soft or unbuffered water, they have slightly acidic properties similar to peat moss.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Dwarf Hairgrass and Microsword not only carpet quickly, but maintain a lush green color that really highlights these aquaria.
I have several planted aquariums and add a few plant tabs to each one - every three or four months or so - after the tabs planted earlier dissolve into the substrate.
So it's cheaper for me to purchase these tabs in a larger size box when possible.
Seachem's 40 tab box is about three times the price of Seachem's 10 tab box, which means that you get about 10 free plant tabs per box with the larger version.
I go through a few of these boxes each year, and consider plant tabs a necessity for planted aquaria that use an inert sand substrate.
I also use Seachem Flourish liquid fertilizer once a week in my planted tanks, which works well in conjunction with the plant tabs.
However, a word to the wise here. If you are using a high-tech lighting system which also includes injected CO2 and fertilizer supplementation of some kind, you should also consider adding a uv sterilizer to your aquarium to keep the algae and bacteria growth to a minimum.
If you don't, you are probably going to find that your water is always going to be cloudy, regardless of how often you do water changes, and whatever filter media you use - including a micron filter.
The reason for this is that when one uses these high tech lighting systems with CO2 and fertilizer enhancement, it usually results in far more nutrients being available in an aquarium's water column.
This in turn can result in an exponential growth of bacteria, parasites, viruses and other pathogens in the water table, as well as algae, which will cause your water to become cloudy.
A bad algae bloom will also result in green water so thick, that the fishkeeper will have a difficult time even seeing their fish or plants.
This author has found that the best way to avoid this scenario is to use an ultra violet sterilizer, in order to remove these organisms before they can reproduce.
The added benefit in doing so is that your fish will remain healthier, because there will be far fewer pathogens in your aquarium's water table.
Moreover, plant growth will improve as well, because your plants will not have to compete for the nutrients in your aquarium's water column, in the way that they would if a larger number of pathogens and algae spores were present.
Given that there are many UV sterilizers available for under $100 these days, this is great news for the fishkeeper.
In fact, AquaTop (the only aquarium filter manufacturer on the market to do so) sells three different power filters with UV sterilizers built into them (PF-15UV, PF-25UV, PF-40UV), which are capable of uv sterilizing aquariums ranging from 15 to 40 gallons.
I own one of each of these UV sterilizer/power filters, for various aquaria, and have found them to work quite well at keeping the water tables in my planted aquariums crystal clear - something I could not say prior to installing them on my tanks.
UV sterilizers are no longer just for marine aquariums, since many freshwater fishkeepers are finding tremendous benefits to using them in their planted aquariums.
And fortunately, there are now many affordable uv sterilizers on the market, each of which will ensure that your aquarium's water stays crystal clear, and safe for your fish and plants.
I am really not sure though if they provide the right nutrients because without any other changes to my small tank maintenance and lighting the amazon sword plant keeps melting and becoming smaller. I keep trimming the rotten leaves so that the tank ammonia won't spike. It is the plant in the back center. My last photo is from 6 months ago when that plant reached way above the wood in the tank.
The anubias on the left side of the tank is doing quite well, but it has substantial roots above the substrate collecting nutrients. I think I may have to go back to my old plant food.

I figured waste material from the fish in the tank + sunlight would be fine, but I did a test. I put a tab near the roots in one of my pots, and one without. I noticed that after 2 weeks, the one without the pellet had yellowing leaves near the edges. While this is sort of expected when a plant is transported into a different aquarium and new water conditions, the other plant was fine... so I put a tablet in my substrate for that plant as well.
Now 2 months later, the plants are all thriving and the fish in the aquarium are as well. I was initially worried that the plant tabs might have an adverse effect on them, but they seem fine.
The product works for my purposes and seems like a good value.

Reviewed in Italy on November 24, 2019
I have been using these tabs for a long time now, in all of my tanks. The tank sizes range from 300lt down to 30lt nano tanks and even a 12lt bowl with rice fish and shrimp in it with no filtration (the substrate and plants are the filter), all of which have live plants, all of which I also use liquid fertilizer for the water column along with these root tabs. I have never had any issue with sick fish, water hardness or any other bad water parameters. All my fish are thriving, all my plants are thriving. most of the tanks have shrimp in them as clean-up crew, all of which are thriving, shedding/growing and breeding like mad, in fact I have had to invest in another tank just for shrimp I now have that many, and yes this tank has live plants and the use of these root tabs and liquid fertilizer as well, and again the shrimp are breeding like mad.
I have never had an issue with them, admittedly I do cut them in to halves and quarters for the smaller tanks, but zero problems with fish, shrimp or water parameters. I will continue to use them as I always have.
So I am not sure why these people are complaining about the product, maybe they are from the competition, or maybe they just don't know what they are doing.
