Chelated Iron source
Hi everyone,
I seem to have accidentally fallen off the list for a while. Glad to be
back.
I saw a post about a liquid chelated iron product from DRAGON. The
analysis of this
product is:
Mg 0.5% Magnesium Lignosulfonate
S 3.9%
B 0.02%
Cu 0.25% Copper Lignosulfonate
Fe 6.0% Iron Lignosulfonate
Mn 0.25% Manganese Lignosulfonate
Zn 0.5% Zinc Lignosulfonate
Sulfuric Acid
I get the impression that 0.1mg/l of iron is a reasonable target, and if
I have done my
math correctly adding 1.6ml of this product per liter of tank
replacement water I will
have the correct concentration. (somebody check my math please).
My real concern is that somebody mentioned that Lignosulfonate is a
surfactant and may
be irritating to fish. Does anybody have experience with this product?
Regards,
Harvey Schneider
