Solution Fe 300ml – liquid iron

This 300 ml liquid concentrate is aimed at planted aquarium keepers whose plants show pale new growth or fail to colour red as expected. It supplies iron in chelated form, which the plants can take up, rather than in the less available iron compounds found in many liquid fertilisers.

Why it matters

• Chelated form: the iron is bound in a chelate, which the manufacturer states is the form plants absorb most readily.
• Chloroplast development: according to the manufacturer, chelated iron is needed to build chloroplasts, the structures that capture light energy for photosynthesis.
• Colour and health: it is positioned for colouring plants and for treating plant ailments, with pale new leaves and missing red colouration listed as symptoms.
• Metered dosing: the dispenser pump delivers a set amount per press, so the dose can be matched to the water volume.

What it works with

The product fits planted freshwater aquaria and is categorised under aquarium CO2 and fertilisation for plants. Dosing is calculated per 10 l of water for maintenance and per 15 l for treatment, so the volume of the tank determines how many presses to use. The label capacity of 3,000 l of water refers to the concentrate's stated coverage, and the dosing guidance above should be followed for smaller tanks.
