Features
- 2L / 67.6 fl. oz
- May be used as a primary or supplementary source of carbon (compatible
with CO2 supplementation).
- Provides key components of the Krebs cycle.
- Provides naturally-derived sources of humic substances, which aid plants
in the uptake of important nutrients such as iron, calcium, magnesium, etc.,
and can even increase the availability of these substances in the aquarium
environment.

and Molecular Biology.
Description
Florin Axis
A concentrated source of bioavailable carbon, Krebs cycle intermediates,
humic and amino acids, and naturally-occurring phytohormones. Krebs Cycle
is the series of biochemical reactions that are ultimately responsible for
converting complex organic molecules into energy in all aerobic organisms;
benefits are more efficient metabolism of foods and available nutrients for
fishes and plants alike, as well as enhanced decomposition of latent organic
material (and cleaner aquaria).
Technical Overview:
As the name implies, FlorinAxis benefits plants in a number of very important
and interrelated means: it provides a stable source of carbon (derived from
naturally-occurring compounds rather than from preservatives) for direct uptake
by plants; it provides key components involved in the Krebs cycle, which enables
all aerobic organisms in the aquarium to better utilize available nutrients;
it provides humic substances that increase the bioavailability of multivalent
cations (such as iron, calcium, magnesium, molybdenum, copper, manganese,
zinc, cobalt, and nickel) important to plant health and growth; and it provides
phytohormones, natural substances shown to increase the growth and flowering
rate of aquatic plants. In essence, FlorinAxis is a unique, extensively-researched
formulation that encourages increased health and growth of fishes and plants,
as well as encouraging the rapid break-down of latent organic material by
aerobic microbes, with the aid of well-documented principles of Biology; it
can produce dramatic results in planted aquaria.
Ingredients in FlorinAxis provide the following:
Citric Acid and Citrate - Organic carbon source and a confirmed stimulator
of the Krebs cycle; carbon is required for all organic compounds.
Magnesium - Krebs cycle catalyst, component of chlorophyll, required for enzyme
activation.
Humic and Fulvic Acids - Promote nutrient uptake, stimulate root- and overall-growth,
aid in photosynthesis, stimulate plant enzyme production.
Kelp - Provides natural phytohormones necessary for plant growth and flowering.
Protein Hydrolysate - A source of slow-release nutrients and soluble peptides
and amino acids, the building blocks of plant proteins.
Instructions and Guidelines:
FlorinAxis will help create an environment conducive to long-term plant health
and growth; it is part of a complete system for planted aquarium husbandry
and is most beneficial when used in conjunction with supplements that provide
other necessary nutrients. Water care products that provide a full range of
nutrients, such as Brightwell Aquatics FlorinMulti, Florin-K, Florin-Fe, and
FlorinGro, should be used as plant requirements in individual aquaria dictate.
Shake product well before using.
Basic: For the first 3 - 5 weeks of use, add 5 ml (1 capful) of product per
50 US-gallons (189.3 L) of aquarium water once each week; increase dosage
thereafter depending upon perceived nutrient needs of plants. Densely-planted
aquaria and/or those that enjoy rapid plant growth (such as aquaria with intense
lighting and CO2 supplementation) may benefit from more frequent supplementation.
When used in this fashion, 250 ml treats up to 2,500 US-gallons (9,464 L).
Advanced: Daily, rather than weekly, dosing is recommended; daily dosing
maintains a more stable and natural environment than dosing weekly, in which
nutrient concentrations spike just after dosing and then gradually decrease
throughout the course of the week. To dose daily, add 6 drops per 50 US-gallons
per day; adjust dosing volume after 3 - 5 weeks in accordance with appearance
of plants and perceived need for nutrients. Carbon supplementation is something
that most hobbyists maintaining planted aquaria are interested, if not already
engaging, in. The source of carbon in FlorinAxis is taken up by plants as
required, which is in contrast to broadcasting CO2 gas throughout an aquarium
to act as a carbon source. Because of this, it will take some experimentation
on the hobbyist’s part to determine how much carbon in this form is
required by their plants. Hobbyists already employing a CO2 system will see
benefits from the addition of FlorinAxis, due to the positive influence it
has on the Krebs cycle and on other aspects of plant growth. Because carbon
availability is often the limiting factor in plant growth, dramatic results
are more likely to be seen in planted aquaria in which no form of carbon supplementation
is already employed; regardless, all aquaria can benefit from the formulation
and science behind this supplement.
