Fresh Zlements Iron is a specialized aquarium fertilizer crafted to deliver bioavailable iron directly to your planted tank, fostering robust and vibrant plant growth. Iron plays a vital role in chlorophyll production, and its deficiency often results in chlorosis—the yellowing of young leaves—due to iron’s limited mobility within plants. This formula effectively prevents such symptoms by supplying iron in its most absorbable form.
The product contains iron in the ferrous (Fe²⁺) state, which remains soluble in water across all pH levels, ensuring immediate availability to aquatic plants. Unlike ferric iron (Fe³⁺), which precipitates and becomes inaccessible at pH levels above 5.5, ferrous iron eliminates the need for plants to expend energy converting iron into a usable form. Many alternatives use iron-EDTA, a chelated ferric iron form that, while soluble, binds iron strongly and limits plant uptake efficiency. Fresh Zlements Iron bypasses these limitations by providing a more accessible iron source, promoting quicker and easier absorption without the drawbacks associated with EDTA chelates.
Use:
This iron supplement is readily absorbed by aquatic plants, encouraging healthy leaf development and vibrant greenery. It ensures consistent iron availability to prevent deficiencies and optimize chlorophyll synthesis.
Dosage:
Apply 1 mL per 10 liters (2.6 US gallons) of aquarium water to increase iron (Fe) concentration by 1 ppm. Shake well before use and maintain regular dosing to keep your plants thriving and lush.
