Seachem Flourish Iron
Seachem Flourish Iron is a concentrated ferrous iron supplement for planted aquariums where aquatic plants need more iron than can be supplied by Flourish™ at its recommended dose. It is intended for aquarists addressing iron-related plant growth signs, including yellowing between leaf veins and short, slender stems, particularly in new growth.
Key Benefits
- Provides highly concentrated ferrous iron (Fe+2) gluconate at 10,000 mg/L.
- Supplies iron in the ferrous form required by plants.
- Ferrous gluconate is better suited to foliar feeding than iron-EDTA.
- Use when planted aquarium iron requirements exceed the amount delivered by Flourish™.
- Contains no phosphate or nitrate.
How to Use
Add Seachem Flourish Iron as required to maintain an iron concentration of approximately 0.10 mg/L. Monitor iron concentrations with the MultiTest: Iron™ test kit. Use as needed where signs associated with iron deficiency are visible, often on new plant growth.
Dosage
- Use 1 capful (5 mL) for each 200 L (50 gallons*).
- For smaller doses, each cap thread is approximately 1 mL.
Suitable For
- Freshwater planted aquariums.
- Aquatic plants showing yellowing of tissue between veins.
- Plants developing short, slender stems where additional iron is required.
- Planted tanks using Seachem Flourish™ where supplementary ferrous iron is needed.
