About this item

Flourish Iron™ - Highly Concentrated Iron Supplement for Planted Aquariums


🌿 Product Overview

Flourish Iron™ is a highly concentrated iron source (10,000 mg/L) designed to support the health and growth of aquatic plants in your aquarium. It is made from ferrous gluconate, a highly bioavailable form of iron that is easy for plants to absorb and utilize. Iron is essential for chlorophyll production, and Flourish Iron™ helps prevent common iron deficiencies, ensuring your plants stay vibrant and healthy.


🌱 Key Benefits

  • Highly Concentrated – Contains 10,000 mg/L of ferrous gluconate iron, providing a potent source of iron to meet the needs of your aquatic plants

  • Ferrous Gluconate – A form of iron that is readily available for foliar feeding and does not require energy expenditure from the plant to reduce it, unlike iron-EDTA

  • Promotes Healthy Growth – Helps plants produce chlorophyll, preventing chlorosis (yellowing of leaves) and promoting lush, green foliage

  • Prevents Iron Deficiency – Ideal for preventing or treating iron deficiencies, which can cause yellowing of younger leaves, short and slender stems, and poor overall growth

  • Carbon Source – Ferrous gluconate also provides a source of carbon, benefiting plant health in a natural way

  • No Harm to Plants or Fish – Unlike some competing products, ferrous gluconate is not harmful to your plants or fish and supports their long-term health


🧪 How It Works

Iron is an essential nutrient for aquatic plants as it plays a crucial role in the production of chlorophyll. Flourish Iron™ delivers iron in the ferrous (+2 charge) form, which is soluble in water at any pH, making it easily available to plants. This eliminates the need for plants to expend energy converting ferric iron (Fe³⁺) into ferrous iron, which can be difficult to absorb.


🌿 Ideal for Plant Growth

Iron is immobile in plants, meaning it cannot be moved from older to newer leaves. As a result, deficiency symptoms typically show up first in young leaves. Flourish Iron™ ensures your plants have the iron they need for robust growth, preventing signs of deficiency such as yellowing leaves and poor stem development.


🐠 Safe for Aquatic Life

Flourish Iron™ is safe for all aquarium inhabitants, including fish, shrimp, and other invertebrates. It provides the necessary nutrients for plants without introducing harmful substances into your tank.


🧷 Recommended Usage

  • Use Flourish Iron™ regularly to prevent or correct iron deficiencies in planted aquariums.

  • Best used in combination with other Flourish products for a balanced and healthy aquatic environment.


📦 Packaging Options

Available in various sizes to suit both small and large planted aquariums.

Beautiful addition to my reef!

The fish arrived in perfect condition. Packaging was triple insulated with heat packs. Acclimation was smooth and it was eating frozen mysis within 2 hours of introduction. AquaEditorial never disappoints.

Good but picky eater

Beautiful specimen, arrived healthy. Takes a while to adjust to new food but eventually started eating pellets. Great addition to my South American cichlid tank.

FAQs

Emily R.·2 days ago

What temperature should I keep the tank at for this fish?

Betta USASeller·replied

Great question! We recommend maintaining a water temperature of 82–86°F (28–30°C). Discus are tropical fish and thrive in warm, stable water conditions. A reliable heater with a thermostat is essential.

Michael T.·5 days ago

Can I keep this with other fish in a community tank?

Betta USASeller·replied

Yes! Discus are peaceful and social. They do best with calm tank mates like Cardinal Tetras, Rummy Nose Tetras, and Corydoras Catfish. Avoid aggressive or fast-moving fish that may stress them.

Sarah L.·1 week ago

What size tank do I need for a small group?

Betta USASeller·replied

We recommend a minimum of 55 gallons for a small group of discus. They need spacious aquariums with open swimming areas, live plants, driftwood, and gentle filtration.

David K.·1 week ago

What should I feed them?

Betta USASeller·replied

Discus are omnivores and benefit from a varied diet. We recommend high-quality discus pellets, frozen bloodworms, brine shrimp, and beef heart mixes. A varied diet helps maintain vibrant coloration.
