Seachem Flourish Iron 500mL

Product details

Seachem Flourish Iron 500mL (473) is a concentrated liquid iron supplement for planted aquariums, formulated as ferrous gluconate. In planted systems, iron is relatively immobile in plants, so deficiencies typically show first on newer growth as chlorosis (yellowing of young leaves). Using an iron source helps you address these signs by replenishing available iron in a form plants can readily use.

Features:

• Provides a highly concentrated iron supplement for planted aquariums
• Uses ferrous iron gluconate as the iron source (ferrous, +2 oxidation state)
• Supports easier plant uptake compared with iron forms that must be converted from ferric form
• Designed to be suited to foliar feeding/leaf uptake due to its iron form and bonding
• Explains why iron behavior matters: ferric iron is much less soluble at higher pH and can precipitate
• Includes gluconate as part of the ferrous gluconate complex, which is presented as non-harmful to plants or fish in the manufacturer’s explanation

Specifications:

• Product type: Iron supplement for planted aquariums
• Formulation: Ferrous gluconate
• Concentration: 10,000 mg/L iron (as described)
• Size: 500 mL
• Main purpose: Helps prevent or correct iron-related chlorosis on new growth in planted aquariums
