What trace elements are?
Trace elements, also called "micro elements", are nutritiens(elements), which plants need just traces for ensuring of many internal proccesses. There is unsufficient supply of this elements in unfertilised aquarium. Even with eriched substrated, there is need of fertilising of micronutrients.
What are chelates
Free and readily available micro and trace elements are, by very natural processes, oxydised nad bind to/in insolubles, and for plants unavailable, forms. These unwanted processes are stronger in in waters with higher pH and rich by oxygen. Nutritients, Chelates holding nutritients in "cage" which protects nutritiens from reactions. And by this, nutritiens are avalable to plants for much more longer.
