Description

Fresh Trace supplies a broad range of trace elements demonstrated to be necessary for proper fish 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. Fresh Trace contains only those elements actually demonstrated to be required by fish. Nutrient Requirements of Fish, National Academy of Sciences, pp. 16-21, 1993.

Seachem Frest Trace
Size: 500 mL Color: clear
I can't really say I notice a difference in my fish. I feed New Life Spectrum, so their color is already really good, so if their colors increase due to additions into the water, I didn't notice. I don't use RO water with this, I use regular treated tap water, so the need is less than if I were using RO water. But it does seem to be a good product to use. Might be a good way to help insure the health of your fish. Especially if you're already dosing fertilizers or other products anyway. One more capful isn't hard. I wouldn't recommend dumping chemicals into your tank at random, however this is a collection of trace elements, and not a chemical product like pH Up or pH Down. Most of Seachem's products are top-notch, and I would trust this to help the overall health of the tank. I am a little worried about dosing this in a tank with inverts, however. Lots of people claim that any copper is harmful to inverts, but copper is a necessary element to most living things, inverts included. Seachem assures that the amount in their products (Flourish, Flourish Tabs, and this one) is too low to have any impact on inverts. But when using all three products, and using fish food which contains copper (almost all of them) I worry that the total amount would reach harmful levels. Maybe the total amount isn't anywhere near harmful. But I wouldn't dose this in a tank with inverts if you use the other three products. The amount in the food might supply them with the trace amounts that they need, but past one additional product I start to worry. ... show more

Fish will love you
Size: 500 mL Color: clear
My Hujeta Gar have always been a little skittish as far as when you move up close to the tank, at least until I started dosing this into my tank, both have relaxed and have completely stopped 'glass surfing' they never did it excessively but I noticed it a couple times, and it would last only about 5 minutes, but since I started using this they both are much more relaxed, even their breathing has made a significant improvement, steadier and calmer than before, as the video and picture show, one has even started showing a curious personality! Highly recommend! Value for money too! This'll take care of all my tanks for quite a while, 5ml to 20gal dose once/twice per week, easy to follow directions on the back! ... show more

Lasts a long time and worth the money.
Size: 500 mL Color: clear
If someone tells you that you got to use your tap water only for fresh water tanks don’t listen to them. You can use RO water with this bottle of trace elements and have a great looking tank.

Another Great Seachem Additive!
Size: 500 mL Color: clear
I am a solid user of most of Seachem's products. This one, like the others continue to keep my fish in tip top shape. Does what it says. I recommend this product. Been using it a while now with no adverse effects. Easy to use. Great value for the money. The bottle will last me a year.

Another great Seachem product
Size: 500 mL Color: clear
I use primarily Seachem products in my 37 and 75 gallon aquaria. This product provides trace minerals into the water which have been demonstrated to be necessary for fish survival. Unfortunately there's no real way to say it's working. I haven't lost any fish since I started using it, but I rarely lost fish before using it. I started using it when I got a low-TDS shrimp/corydoras tank up and running and it seemed appropriate to use given the water parameters. The cap is used for simple dosing and one bottle lasts quite a while. ... show more

My Fiddlers Molted - That Means Good
Size: 500 mL Color: clear
I got this so my Three Fiddler Crabs would have all the nutrients and metals they need in their water to be healthy and happy and yes, the ability to Molt when needed. I was not sure if it was working but then, after using it for about a month and change, my Largest Fiddler just Tossed His Old Shell. AND, His New Duds are Hardening as Expected and he has Grown just a bit. All this means that this Product Does What it is Supposed To. But then, Sea Chem has a Great Reputation for A Reason. This Product Contains ALL the Trace Elements any Freshwater Aquarium Needs. I use it as Directed - It Works. ... show more

Arrived Opened and Leaking
Size: 250 mL Color: clear
Arrived with a broken seal and product crusted around the edges as if it had been leaking. Same problem as everyone else. Dunno why I thought it would be any different with me. Save yourself the trouble and order elsewhere. Update: After submitting a claim they immediately sent me a replacement that arrived within 24 hours. This one is clean and sealed. After removing the seal you can clearly tell the difference in the two (see 2nd and 3rd pics). I've updated the rating from one star to four. ... show more

Peace of mind more than anything
Size: 500 mL Color: clear
I just have 16 Cardinals, a half dozen Juliis and some Nerite snails. All three are hearty species to begin with. The water we get in this area isn't very mineral heavy so this seemed like a necessary get. I've used this stuff for awgile and the fish seem content. Just like human vitamins, it may not matter that much but it's better than nothing. I'm more just using it for peace of mind. Good source of calcium for the snails too. ... show more
