AquaForest AF Iron Boost 250g
AquaForest AF Iron Boost is a professional, concentrated iron fertilizer designed to provide aquatic plants with an easily absorbable source of Fe²⁺ iron.
Iron plays an important role in several plant metabolic processes and is particularly essential for the production of chlorophyll, the green pigment responsible for photosynthesis. When aquarium plants don't have enough available iron, chlorophyll production can be affected, potentially resulting in pale or yellowing leaves and poor plant development.
AF Iron Boost provides a concentrated dose of easily absorbable iron to help address deficiencies and support healthy, vigorous plant growth.

Benefits
Supports Chlorophyll Production
Iron is essential for the synthesis of chlorophyll. Providing an adequate supply of iron helps support the processes responsible for healthy green plant growth and photosynthesis.
Helps Combat Iron Deficiency
Iron deficiency can lead to reduced chlorophyll production, resulting in yellowing leaves and, in more severe cases, necrosis. AF Iron Boost provides an easily absorbable form of iron to help address these deficiencies.
Highly Absorbable Iron Source
AF Iron Boost contains a concentrated Fe²⁺ iron chelate, providing aquarium plants with an accessible source of iron.
Supports Healthy Plant Development
Maintaining appropriate iron availability helps support attractive, healthy-looking plants and their ongoing development.
Ideal for Planted Aquariums
AF Iron Boost is particularly useful as part of a complete fertilisation routine alongside other essential macro- and micronutrients.
How to Use
Add 1 ml of AF Iron Boost per 100 litres of aquarium water once per week.
Continue fertilisation until satisfactory plant growth and appearance are achieved.
For a complete fertilisation routine, AquaForest recommends using AF Iron Boost alongside AF Micro and AF Macro.
Dosage
Standard weekly dosage:
1 ml per 100 litres of aquarium water, once per week.
Iron concentration:
1 ml per 10 litres of aquarium water increases the iron concentration by approximately:
Fe (Iron): 0.4 mg/L (ppm)
The optimal iron concentration in aquarium water is stated as 0.1–1 mg/L.
