It suits hobbyists who want richer green growth and who want to avoid the pale, yellowing leaves that come with iron shortages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy Iron Matters in a Planted Tank\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIron takes part in many metabolic processes in plants, most importantly the synthesis of chlorophyll, the green pigment. More chlorophyll means more efficient photosynthesis. Iron deficiency is a common problem in aquariums because the iron present is often in a form plants cannot absorb well. How well iron is taken up also depends on the macronutrient and micronutrient content of the water, on pH, and on the iron itself. When iron runs short, chlorophyll disappears and chlorosis develops. This shows up as leaf yellowing and necrosis. AF Iron Boost contains a concentrated dose of easily absorbable Fe2+ iron chelate to address this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasily absorbable iron fertiliser for aquatic plants\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports chlorophyll synthesis and increases green pigment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps prevent leaf yellowing and necrosis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConcentrated Fe2+ iron chelate formula, so a small dose goes a long way\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned to be used alongside AF Micro and AF Macro for optimum results\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdd the weekly dose directly to the aquarium water, once per week.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor best results, use together with AF Micro and AF Macro.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbsorbents such as zeolite and\/or carbon may reduce the effectiveness of the formula, so keep this in mind if you run them in your filtration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDosage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard dose: 1 mL of AF Iron Boost per every 100 L of aquarium water, one time per week.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReference figure: 1 ml in 10 l of aquarium water will raise Fe iron levels by 0.4 mg\/l (ppm).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTarget range: the optimal concentration of iron in aquarium water is 0.1-1 mg\/l.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFreshwater planted aquariums with aquatic plants that show pale or yellowing leaves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAquascapers and plant keepers who want strong chlorophyll production and vivid green growth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAquarists already feeding plants with a micro and macro fertiliser programme\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormulated to work with AF Micro and AF Macro.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZeolite and\/or carbon in the filter may reduce its effectiveness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: iron fertiliser for aquatic plants\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eActive form: Fe2+ iron chelate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended dose: 1 mL per 100 L, once per week\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptimal iron concentration in aquarium water: 0.1-1 mg\/l\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStorage: protect from sunlight; keep at room temperature in a tightly closed container\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse: for aquatic purposes only; keep out of reach of children\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x AF Iron Boost iron fertiliser, 250 ml (8.5 fl oz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much AF Iron Boost should I dose?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nDose 1 mL per every 100 L of aquarium water, one time per week.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat iron level should I aim for in my aquarium?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe optimal concentration of iron in aquarium water is 0.1-1 mg\/l.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat signs suggest my plants need more iron?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIron deficiency leads to a loss of chlorophyll and chlorosis, which shows as leaf yellowing and necrosis.
