Notes from Aqua Gardening

  • Do not forget to store the product in a cool, dry place and seal the bag after use to maintain freshness and longevity.
  • Iron requirements may vary based on the specific plants, water source, and fish food in your system.
  • Consult with an aquaponics expert if you are unsure about the appropriate iron levels for your specific system and plant needs.

How to Measure Iron Chelate?

To measure the iron chelate in your system, an iron test kit is very useful. Use the first test for "available iron" to see how much iron is readily available for the plants in your system. The second test for "iron chelate" checks how much chelated iron is left in the system ready to be broken down into available iron. The second test is a measure of how much iron chelate is "banked" for future use. Some types of fish will be affected by iron chelate levels in excess of 1.0ppm.
