penguinleo Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Just wondering what you people do. How much flourish iron dosing do you do a week? I am wanting some more redder plants and am thinking of adding flourish iron maybe 3 times or more a week. Would that be okay? No stress to the plants or fish? I don't have an iron test kit so I am just wondering if it would be safe. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penguinleo Posted January 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 At the moment, I am not using any Flourish Excel (I have a CO2 injection) instead and I am dosing Flourish and Flourish Iron 1 or 2 times a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faran Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 You can get chelated iron for a fraction of the cost and add it to your tank for red plants. This won't matter at all if you're not running at least 0.5w/l though. Have you looked into making your own Poor Mans Dosing Drops (PMDD - DIY fertiliser)? You can customize a formula for your tank with the aid of a couple test kits... Speaking of test kits, that's the answer to the original question. Get an Iron Test Kit from your LFS and find out yourself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
