Default iron question

If your plants start to turn yellow - you dont have enough iron...

I am in the country and have well water - I do a 20% or so change a couple
times a week to replace all the trace elements. We have so much iron in the
water if we have a leaky faucet we get an iron ring that forms in the
sink......... I still trace iron chelate - deluted in a water bottle... I
also trace tropical master grow and Kno3 AND Ps2no4 ? I think that last one
is right

check out aquatbotanic.com - web forums - they are a great great great help
and source of information.

Good Luck

Hey all,

Was wondering something the other day. Now I know that to keep
plants happy in a tank you want to keep trace amounts of iron in the
tank. Now here is the thing, the house I live in was built in 1923 and
has old iron pipes. Now is there going to be enough trace iron in the
water or am I going to have to add it. just wondering
