Seachem Reef Iron

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.  

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.
