- Dosing: 5 mL Flourish, 10 mL iron chelate (1 ppm), 30 mL KNO3 (6 ppm), 20 mL KH2PO4 (0.6 ppm)
Notes:
morning 50% water change:
- 20 mL Amquel+
- 3 tsp Equilibrium
- 2.5 tsp baking soda
- 5 mL Flourish
- 10 mL iron chelate (1.0 ppm)
- 30 mL KNO3 (6 ppm)
- 20 mL KH2PO4 (0.6 ppm)
I dosed about 1.0 ppm of the new iron chelate solution, and it seems that the stargrass is already turning much greener. We'll see over the next couple days. The iron chelate solution is a very dark brown and it's hard to tell currently, but it seems to tint the water slightly yellow. I'm not sure, so I'll keep an eye on that as well over the next few days. I tried to run the Red Sea iron test, and as usual I could not get a reading on it. It didn't really match any colors on the chart. The closest colors were either the 0 light blue reading or the 0.2 gray reading.
