Supplement for the Reef Aquarium
- Concentrated
5,000 mg/L Iron

Growth and Coloration
- Assists
in Nitrogen Uptake
Iron is an essential element required in metabolic
processes, protein synthesis, and growth of corals and macroalgae. Iron
supplementation can enhance coral and macroalgae growth and color –
particularly yellow and green colors in corals. In systems supported with
nitrogen and phosphorous supplementation, iron utilization rates may be
increased as iron assists in assimilation of nitrogen.
Iron supplementation can enhance coral and macroalgae growth
and color – particularly yellow and green colors in corals.
Supplementing with Reef Iron™ provides a safe means of
increasing iron concentrations. Reef Iron™ is ideally suited for use with an
aquavitro® sentia™ dose doser to maintain iron at a consistent concentration
based on your aquarium's unique demand but is easily dosed manually as well.
Ideal iron levels will vary but natural seawater generally ranges from
0.003–0.01 mg/L iron. Reef aquariums are often kept at higher levels for
optimal coloration and growth. For optimal macro algae growth, many find 0.05–0.1
mg/L to be beneficial. Use Reef Nitrogen™, Reef Phosphorus™ and Reef Potassium™
to maintain optimal nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium levels.
