Whoa, I can't believe people are still using that hoax that Red Sea calls a
test kit! Throw that junk away and get yourself any other test kit. The Red
Sea test kit has never worked for anyone (that I heard of). It always shows
0.1 ppm regardless of the Fe concentration. I'm guessing your Fe is more
likely 0.0 ppm. I'm sorry you have to discard 18 months worth of Fe
concentration data.
