LCA Iron (DTPA)

Introduction

LCA Iron (DTPA) is a premium, highly-effective liquid iron supplement formulated to provide your aquarium plants with an essential micronutrient for healthy, vibrant growth. Iron (Fe) is crucial for chlorophyll production and photosynthesis, which are necessary for plants to produce energy and thrive. This liquid formula is chelated with DTPA, a highly stable compound that ensures the iron remains bioavailable to plants even in aquariums with varying pH levels. LCA Iron (DTPA) is particularly useful in low-tech and high-tech planted aquariums where iron deficiency may occur, leading to yellowing (chlorosis) and stunted plant growth.

Features

• Chelated Iron (DTPA) – Provides a stable, bioavailable form of iron, ensuring your plants can easily absorb it, even in high pH conditions.
• Promotes Healthy Plant Growth – Essential for chlorophyll production, ensuring that plants develop vibrant green leaves and strong, healthy growth.
• Effective for Iron Deficiency – Specifically designed to address and prevent iron deficiency, which is common in aquariums with high light or CO₂ supplementation.
• Safe for Shrimp and Invertebrates – The carefully formulated iron solution is safe for all aquatic life, including sensitive species like shrimp, snails, and other invertebrates.
• Ideal for Freshwater Aquariums – Perfect for all types of freshwater planted aquariums, including low-tech and high-tech systems with CO₂ injection.

Usage

• Standard Dosing:
  • 1 pump (1 mL) per 50L of aquarium water, 2 to 3 times a week.
• For High-Tech Aquariums (with high light or CO₂ supplementation):
  • Increase the dosage to 1 pump per 50L daily to provide enough iron for fast-growing plants.
• Application Tips:
  • Apply during the light cycle to maximize uptake by plants.
  • Ensure even distribution throughout the tank for optimal results.

Available Sizes

• 250ML (Pump Dispenser Bottle)
• 500ML Bottle

Recommendations

• For Iron-Deficient Tanks – If your plants show signs of yellowing leaves (iron deficiency), LCA Iron (DTPA) is a quick and effective solution to restore vibrant green growth.
• Use in CO₂ Enriched Tanks – Ideal for aquariums with CO₂ injection, where plants have high growth rates and need additional iron to support chlorophyll production.
• Perfect for Shrimp Tanks – Safe for all invertebrates, making it an excellent choice for shrimp keepers looking to support plant health without compromising shrimp safety.
• Complement with LCA Micro Mix – For a comprehensive micronutrient regimen, pair with LCA Micro Mix (Shrimp Safe) to provide your plants with a full spectrum of essential nutrients.
