Product Description
Discus 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. Discus
Trace contains only those elements actually demonstrated to be required by
fish.

Why It's Different
Aquarium salt is often used to add salts back to aquarium water. Some fish
will tolerate this therapeutic use of salt; however, some fish are less
tolerant. Discus as a species will not tolerate this elevated level of sodium in
the water. If you keep live plants in your discus aquarium, the plants will not
tolerate this either. Discus Trace is a well rounded trace mineral supplement
that does not contain sodium and is used to replenish trace and ultra trace
minerals that are demonstrated to be necessary for fish health and growth.
Directions
Use 1 capful (5 mL) for every 80 L (20 gallons*) once or twice a week.
