Seachem Flourish Iron™ is a concentrated iron supplement designed specifically for planted aquariums. It addresses iron deficiencies, which manifest as yellowing of younger leaves and stunted growth. Plants cannot transfer iron from older leaves to new growth, making iron vital for chlorophyll production and overall health.
Flourish Iron™ uses a highly concentrated (10,000 mg/L) form of ferrous iron gluconate. Unlike ferric iron, which can become insoluble in higher pH levels, ferrous iron remains soluble and readily available for plant uptake. This is crucial since iron-EDTA, a common alternative, binds too strongly and requires plants to expend energy to convert it into a usable form.
The use of ferrous gluconate allows for easier absorption by plants, supporting healthier foliage without the drawbacks of other chelated forms. Additionally, ferrous gluconate provides a carbon source, further benefiting plant growth.
