I have decided to offer up several products so folks can tailor their tanks and desires for trace elements. Note, I developed these, I do not sell them!
Gluconate Fe
One product is a dry formulation of Fe gluconate, sort of like the SeaChem product, except dry and less expensive to ship and about 10x cheaper.
Marine Macro Grow
This is specifically for macro algae and tailored specifically for marine plants.
Can also be used in harder FW tanks.
Aquatic plant Micro Matrix Mix
This is a general mix that was developed based on the elemental ratios compared from 56 species of aquatic plants from the published research. This has the Gluconate, the Nitro and the hard water Fe chelator at a 30:10:60 ratio for Fe. ETDA is good for any pH range for the other traces. Copper is on the slightly conservative side however not nearly as low at SeaChem nor as high as CMS.
Adds the best of TMG+Flourish+more plant research+ a new novel iron fertilizer.
It will be sold dry and is about 10-20X cheaper than the comparable brands.
1lb will make about 50 liters worth of equivalent liquid.
Super Fe nitro:
This is a special mix unlike anything on the market in this hobby.
It uses amnio acids to complex the Fe and both the chelator and the metal can both be used by the plant. Cool eh?
Note, I will never sell to folks direct, this will go through the Aquarium Plant Food - hobbyist taking care of hobbyist … | Planted Aquarium Fertilizer site that Alan runs now, after he took over for Greg Watson.
He likes selling small 1lb-5 lb amounts, I sell 1 ton amounts only.
These products will be available here shortly later in June.

Tom Barr
