AF Iron Boost
A professional‑grade iron supplement formulated for aquatic plants.
Iron is a critical micro‑nutrient in aquatic plant metabolism—it plays a central role in the synthesis of chlorophyll, the green pigment essential for photosynthesis. Without sufficient bio‑available iron, leaves may turn yellow or necrotic as chlorosis sets in and photosynthetic efficiency falls.
AF Iron Boost delivers a highly absorbable Fe²⁺ chelate, designed to overcome the common issue of iron in non‑available forms in aquarium water. With optimal iron concentrations in planted tanks ranging from 0.1–1 mg/L, this concentrated formula ensures plants receive the iron they need to thrive.
Key Benefits:
-
Supplies a readily assimilable form of iron (Fe²⁺ chelate) to aquatic plants.
-
Supports chlorophyll production and optimises photosynthesis for lush, green growth.
-
Helps eliminate yellowing leaves and necrotic patches caused by iron deficiency.
-
Complements other nutrient programs (ideal to use alongside macro and micro‑element supplements).
-
Suitable for freshwater planted aquariums of all sizes and planting densities.
Usage Guide:
-
Dose: 1 ml per 100 L of aquarium water once per week until results are visible.
-
For rapid correction: 1 ml in 10 L water will raise iron levels by approximately 0.4 mg/L (ppm).
-
Recommended to be used in parallel with AF Micro and AF Macro for a balanced fertilisation regime.
-
Avoid use of strong absorbents such as zeolite or activated carbon immediately after dosing, as these may reduce effectiveness.
-
Storage: Protect from direct sunlight. Store at room temperature in a tightly sealed container. Keep out of reach of children.
