Product Description

Description

Seachem iron aquarium supplement is a 250ml bottle of concentrated ferrous gluconate iron designed specifically for freshwater planted aquariums that need targeted iron supplementation for healthy vibrant plant growth and intense coloration. Iron plays an irreplaceable role in aquatic plant biology as the core atom in chlorophyll molecules the green pigment that captures light energy for photosynthesis. The seachem iron aquarium supplement delivers iron in the ferrous state which is the only form that plants can directly absorb and utilize. This is a critical distinction from many competing iron products that contain ferric iron which must undergo energy-intensive chemical reduction before plant roots or leaves can take it up. In well-oxygenated aquarium water iron rapidly oxidizes from the usable ferrous form to the unavailable ferric form making regular frequent dosing essential for maintaining adequate bioavailable iron levels. The most visible symptom of iron deficiency in aquatic plants is interveinal chlorosis where new emerging leaves develop with yellow or white tissue between the veins while the veins themselves may retain some green color. In severe deficiency even mature leaves lose color and plants stop growing entirely. Red and purple plant species are particularly iron-hungry because they require iron not only for chlorophyll but also for the production of anthocyanin pigments that create their distinctive vibrant coloration. Many aquascapers who struggle to achieve deep red colors in species like Rotala Ludwigia or Alternanthera discover that iron is the limiting factor. The 250ml standard bottle provides weeks to months of iron supplementation depending on tank size plant density and dosing frequency. Concentrated formula ensures effective iron delivery from small precise doses. Compatible with all freshwater fish shrimp snails and invertebrates. Available at TaraPet the UAE trusted online pet and aquarium store with free delivery.
