Iron is a very important micronutrient within the planted aquarium. This means plants need it to thrive, but in lesser amounts than macronutrients. While Easy Green all-in-one fertilizer already contains plenty of iron for most planted tanks, Easy Iron is a useful supplemental fertilizer for people who are running high light planted tanks with CO₂ injection or desire deeper, more vibrant colors — both green and red. 

Please note that we have changed over to dosing caps. Pump heads are still available for purchase. 

1. For the 500 ml (16.9 oz) bottle:
— Using the measuring cap to dose (1 ml) per 10 gallons of water, 1-3 times a week
— Each 1ml adds 0.26 ppm iron to 10 gallons of water
— Treats 5,000 gallons total

2. For the 120 ml (4 oz) bottle:
— Dose 2 drops per gallon of water, 1-3 times a week
— Each dose of 2 drops adds 0.26 ppm iron to 1 gallon of water.
— Treats 1,200 gallons total
— Great for nano tanks under 10 gallons

When in doubt, start low and increase the dosage after 2 weeks. 

Watch for signs of overdosing such as an increase in filamentous or hair algae. Excessive amounts of iron can be attributed to algae overgrowth in planted tanks.

Guaranteed Analysis: Water Soluble Iron (Fe) 1%
— Derived from Ferrous Gluconate, DTPA Iron, and EDTA Iron

Notes:
— Please store the fertilizer upright in a cool, dry location away from children. The pump head (if you have the older version) and dropper cap are not leak proof. For optimal shelf life, store out of light.
— Keep the tip of the pump clean of debris. Wiping the pump tip after each use helps prevent a mineral crust from developing. If the pump gets blocked up, it can cause the fertilizer to spray in a random direction, so run the pump head under warm water until the blockage melts away.
— Warning: Fertilizer can be irritating if it gets into your eyes, nose, or mouth, and it can cause stomach upset if swallowed. If you get Easy Iron on your skin, rinse it off. If you get it in your eyes or mouth, rinse thoroughly for 15 minutes. For USA customers,  reference the poison.org website. For Canadian customers, reference dpic.org.
