Description

Please note that the product information displayed is provided by manufacturers, suppliers and other third parties and is not independently verified by Petco.

Flourish Iron is a highly concentrated (10,000 mg/L) ferrous iron gluconate supplement. Plants are able to easily derive a benefit from Flourish Iron because ferrous iron gluconate is already in the ferrous form so they do not expend energy reducing it. Despite what other manufacturers may intimate, gluconate is not harmful to plants or fish. In fact, ferrous gluconate is better suited to foliar feeding than is iron-EDTA, owing to the relatively weaker iron-gluconate bonding vs. iron_EDTA bonding. In addition, ferrous gluconate has the added bonus of being a source of carbon.

  • - Highly concentrated (10,000 mg/L)
  • - Ferrous gluconate iron
  • - Ferrous gluconate is better suited to foliar feeding than iron-EDTA

No, I do not recommend this product.

Made yellow plants turn green, guess some of my plants was missing iron. Careful though, make sure it's compatible with your tank, some online research should help. It's pricey, just for iron, but a green plant is pretty, and I need those plants to take care of the nitrates.

Yes, I recommend this product.

        Thank you for your question. The carbon in a filter or any other type of filter media will not remove the Seachem Flourish Iron from the water. cjm
