Aquaforest Iron Boost (250ml)

Description

PROFESSIONAL, EASILY ABSORBABLE CHELATED IRON SUPPLEMENT FOR AQUATIC PLANTS.

Product Info

Professional easily absorbable iron fertilizer for aquatic plants. Iron takes part in a variety of metabolic processes, and above all, it plays an important role in the synthesis of chlorophyll – green pigment. Its presence conditions efficiency of photosynthesis. Iron absorption is dependent on the macronutrient and micronutrient content, as well as the pH and the iron itself. A common problem in aquariums is iron deficiency because its form may not be absorbed by plants. Iron deficiency leads to disappearance of chlorophyll, and consequently development of chlorosis manifesting as leaf yellowing and necrosis. Optimal concentration of iron in aquarium water should be 0.1-1 mg/l. AF Iron Boost contains a concentrated dose of easily absorbable Fe2+ iron chelate for aquarium plants.

How To Use

1ml AF Iron Boost per 100l water one time per week.Fertilizer application should be continued until satisfactory results are achieved. Recommended parallel use with AF Micro and AF Macro. Absorbents such as zeolite and/or carbon may reduce effectiveness of the formula. Only for aquatic purposes. Protect from sunlight. Keep at room temperature in a tightly closed container, keep out of reach of children.

1 ml in 10 l of aquarium water will raise levels:
Fe Iron 0,38 mg/l (ppm)

Aquaforest Iron Boost for Singapore Planted Tanks

Iron Boost is a chelated iron fertiliser for planted aquariums, and it is one of the first bottles we point new aquascapers towards when red and stem plants start looking pale or washed out. Iron drives chlorophyll synthesis, so a deficiency shows up as yellowing new growth and weak colour. The chelated form here is more readily taken up than raw iron salts, which matters in our soft, slightly acidic local water where availability can swing with pH.

For Singapore tanks we suggest dosing in the evening after lights-off, since chelated iron can be light-sensitive, and splitting the weekly amount across a few smaller doses for steadier availability. If you run CO2 and bright lighting, demand climbs, so expect to dose more on a high-energy scape than on a low-tech one. Keep it consistent rather than reactive, and watch the newest leaves, since they tell you first whether your iron level is on track.

This sits in our conditioners and medication range, and our aquarium iron dosing guide plus the iron deficiency fix guide walk you through diagnosing and correcting pale, stunted growth.
