Seachem Aquarium Products

Frequently asked questions about our Seachem products

Do Seachem products expire?

Seachem products do not expire. Once opened, they have a shelf life that varies from product to product. However, if left open, Seachem products don’t become unusable, they simply decrease in efficacy. Try refrigerating your Seachem products to extend their longevity.

How long does it take for Seachem products to work?

Seachem products generally don’t take very long to start performing. But there are a lot of variables at play: the variety, size, and condition of the tank, and the Seachem product being used will all influence the timeframe. So, there is no one answer to how long Seachem products take to work. For more specific advice about your tank, chat to our friendly aquarium team.

What is Seachem Flourish, Seachem Iron and Seachem Prime used for?

Seachem’s products all help to maintain a healthy, vibrant and thriving ecosystem within your tank.

Seachem Flourish is a plant supplement for use in freshwater aquariums. It contains microelements, trace elements, and other nutrients, such as calcium, iron, magnesium, and other beneficial elements.

Seachem Flourish Iron is a highly-concentrated iron supplement. Because plants cannot transfer iron from old leaves into new ones, iron deficiency and chlorosis can develop. Seachem Iron uses ferrous iron gluconate, a form of iron that is easily absorbed by plants.

Seachem Prime is a concentrated conditioner that works on both freshwater and saltwater aquariums. Prime detoxifies ammonia, nitrate, and nitrite while removing chlorine and chloramine.
