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 y
ellow 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.
