Elemental Iron Aquarium Plant Fertilizer
Elemental Iron is a specialized plant fertilizer that provides a comprehensive assortment of chelated iron forms, ensuring that iron is available to your aquarium plants regardless of water chemistry. Iron is a vital micronutrient for aquatic plants, playing a key role in chlorophyll production, which is necessary for photosynthesis—the process by which plants convert light into energy for growth. Additionally, iron is crucial for lignin development, a component that strengthens plant cell walls, allowing for healthier and more robust plant structures.
Chelated iron is more stable and soluble in water, making it more accessible to plants over time compared to non-chelated forms. This stability ensures that the iron remains in a form that plants can absorb, regardless of pH fluctuations or other water chemistry variables. As a result, Elemental Iron provides consistent and reliable iron supplementation that supports vibrant, lush growth and prevents common iron deficiency symptoms such as yellowing leaves (chlorosis) and stunted growth.
Regular dosing of Elemental Iron helps maintain optimal iron levels in the aquarium, promoting the development of healthy, green leaves and strong plant structures. This is particularly important in planted aquariums where iron demand is high due to rapid growth and competition among plants for available nutrients.
