YOKUCHI Gen Fe Iron Liquid Iron Fertiliser 400 ml

YOKUCHI Gen Fe Iron is a liquid iron fertiliser for aquarium plants.

It is made for planted aquariums where the plants need iron. According to the manufacturer, a lack of iron makes stems and leaves turn pale, and later black spots and holes appear on new leaves, first on fast-growing plants.

Iron is a trace element, and plants take it up as the Fe2+ ion. It is needed for chlorophyll synthesis, is part of some proteins and takes part in cellular respiration. The fertiliser is based on organic iron(II) compounds, which according to the manufacturer are stable and readily absorbed. The 400 ml bottle has a dispenser and treats up to 40 000 l of aquarium water.

Dose 1 click per 100 l of water daily, preferably near the filter outlet. With many plants, increase the dose accordingly. It can be dosed with the lights on, but the manufacturer recommends dosing while the lights are off.
