Seachem Flourish Iron 100mL

Product details

Seachem Flourish Iron 100mL (475) is a planted-aquarium iron supplement designed to correct or prevent iron deficiency that can limit chlorophyll production in growing plants. Iron is described as immobile in plants, so deficiencies typically show up first on new or young leaves as yellowing (chlorosis) and may also appear as shortened, slender stems when severe. In practice, Flourish Iron provides a readily available iron form so plants can take up iron without needing to convert it from a less suitable oxidation state.

Features:

• Delivers iron in the ferrous (+2) form as ferrous gluconate, which plants can derive from more easily than ferric-based options
• Helps support chlorophyll formation to reduce the risk of yellowing on new growth
• Uses ferrous iron gluconate rather than an iron-EDTA approach, avoiding the need for energy-intensive conversion before uptake
• Formulated as a highly concentrated iron source (10,000 mg/L) for planted aquariums
• Ferrous gluconate is described as suitable for foliar feeding compared with stronger iron-EDTA bonding
• Provides a practical alternative when ferric iron may otherwise precipitate in higher-pH aquarium water
