EIHO Plant Iron

Description

EIHO Plant Iron is a rich source of available iron for planted aquaria. The ironin Plant Iron is bound in chelates and natural organic acids. This allows the iron to be available to aquatic plants over time. The

recommended Iron level in planted aquaria should be between 0.05 to 0.2 mg/L.

Iron plays a major role in photosynthesis and chlorophyll formation (green pigments found on leaves). The first signs of iron deficiency will usually appear in new shoots. New leaves will appear pale due to loss of green pigments or in severe cases, leaves can turn white too.

Constant addition of EIHOTM Plant Iron will benefit the health and vitality of plants. Colour of green plants will appear more intense. The red pigments of red-colour plants will increase.

Do not contain phosphate or nitrate.

Add weekly to boost and maintain iron level.

1drop for 1L

1 cap (5ml) for 200L of water

1 cap (5ml) for 200L will increase 0.10mg/L of available iron.

EIHO Plant Iron for Healthier Greens

Iron is one of the first things we ask about when a Singapore hobbyist shows us pale, yellowing new leaves on otherwise well-lit plants. Because iron is bound in chelates and natural organic acids here, it stays available to the plants over time rather than precipitating out of the water column straight away, which is a common frustration with cheaper iron sources in warm tanks where reactions run faster.

Red and colour-form plants in particular lean on iron to express their best tones, so keepers chasing deep reds under strong LED lighting often find iron the missing piece once macros and CO2 are dialled in. As with any micronutrient, more is not better; excess can feed algae in our bright, warm setups. Dose to a sensible target, watch the newest growth as your indicator, and adjust slowly rather than overcorrecting in one go.
