Upping the iron dosing

  • pH: 6.8 morning
  • Temp:
  • KH:
  • GH:
  • NH4:
  • NO2:
  • NO3:
  • PO4:
  • Iron:
  • Dosing: 5 mL Flourish, 20 mL iron chelate (2 ppm)

Notes:
The stargrass (Heteranthera zosterifolia) is still growing in a bit palely. I've upped the iron dosing even more to see if it has even more effect. The iron chelate seems to work equally as well as the iron gluconate (e.g. Flourish Iron), if not better. And since it's much cheaper, I would definitely prefer to use the chelate from now on.
