IRON deficiency

[Cossack1977]

Im trying to get more Iron into the fishtank as i am suffering from yellow leaves on my swords and anubias's.

Yates has a product for gardens called Sulphate of Iron
Composition:
Ferrous Sulphate 20%
Sulphur(s) Ferrous Sulphate 11.5%

Can i use this

 

[Cossack1977]

ended up buying yates chelated iron

analysis:
iron(Fe) as iron sodiul 12.0%
Ethylene Diamine Tetra Acetic Acid
(Na Fe E.D.T.A)

Will this work?

how much do i put in?

can i overdose if there are no fish in there?

 

[Silly me]

are you sure its only iron you need??
it should be fine to add to your tank, but add as much to get a Fe reading of 1ppm

thats about 2g for every 10US Gallons IF there is 0ppm

Yes overdose is easy but shouldnt kill the fish, to much iron has a negetive effect on the plant.

 

[Silly me]
