GEN FE IRON is a liquid iron fertilizer for aquarists who need to correct iron deficiency in planted tanks. It is dosed by the click, so the amount can be matched to water volume and plant density.
Why it matters
- Organic Fe(II) compounds: the iron is bound in an organic form that the manufacturer describes as highly stable and readily available to plants.
- Pigment support: according to the supplier, the preparation promotes anthocyanin and carotenoid synthesis, which intensifies red and orange shades in leaves.
- Deficiency symptoms: iron is immobile within the plant, so deficiency first appears on young leaves, which makes early dosing easier to track.
- Flexible application: dosing is possible while the light is on, although the supplier states that dosing with the light off gives the best results.

Frequently asked questions
Iron is a micronutrient needed for chlorophyll synthesis, and a deficiency first shows as pale green young leaves. The supplier notes that deficiency symptoms appear first on fast-growing plants, so pale new growth is the sign to watch for.
The recommended dose is 1 click per 100 liters of water daily. For tanks with a high density of plants, the dose should be increased accordingly.
Dose it near the filter outlet so it spreads through the water. The formula can be dosed while the lighting is on, but the supplier states that dosing with the lights off gives the best results.
The supplier claims that in a 100-liter planted tank the product lasts about 400 days, and the figure may vary with the number of plants. Usage depends on your tank volume and daily dose.
