Seachem flourish IRON

[Davidd]

hi anyone using this and can share feedback on it?
and anyone seen it sold in any LFS in the west?

currently need a water column Fe fert for anubias malnutrition (their roots dont go into the substrate), and think will need it for the newly planted altenenthera reineckii (thin type)

They use gluconate instead of ETDA for a chelator. Takes a little less energy vs ETDA, not that plants spend much on iron uptake relative to most of the metabolic functions etc.
Vitamins we take are in this form FWIW.

I and other have used just the Flourish with once-twice weekly spikes of the pure iron, say if you normally add 5mls per dose 3x a week, add 4 mls of flourish and 1ml of the iron once a week etc.

I doubt the Anubias has Fe deficieny. NO3 etc perhaps, but if all the other plants are fine etc, I'd look at the N, P, K, Mg etc first and especially if you have been adding fish food, other things like TMG, Flourish etc. Anubias are pretty tough and getting them to turn yellow is relatively hard. If their Fe needs are not being met then you'd see severe Fe deficiencies with all the other much faster growing plants first.
