Iron
Concentrated Solution
Product description
Highly concentrated solution for adding iron if there are deficits in the aquarium.
Iron is a transition metal and, as a trace element, it performs important metabolic functions, e.g. it functions as an oxygen carrier. Iron requirements of corals are lower than those of macroalgae, especially green algae. Thus, a low iron concentration can restrict the growth of algae and cyanobacteria without affecting the corals. Iron may darken and deepen the coloration of corals, enhancing fluorescent colors, especially green and red. In the sea, it occurs in very low concentration levels of 0.1-0.2 μg/l (ppb) and is barely detectable.

Other product recommendations
Nickel, manganese, cobalt and boron are consumed in the same ratio as iron, therefore we recommend adding them at the same time. For easy dosing of these elements with just a single solution, we recommend Tropic Marin® Block Nickel.
We recommend checking the iron content and other water values regularly with Tropic Marin® ICP Water Analysis or Tropic Marin® ICP Water Analysis Plus.
