inhibits growth of algae by promoting optimum plant growth
simple checking of nutrient levels using JBL Iron Test Set, taking iron content as an indicator; recommended level: 0.1-0.2 mg/l.
Problem solutions:
Iron is one of the main nutrients of aquatic plants and should be available in the water of freshwater aquariums and garden ponds in concentrations of 0.05-0.2 mg/l.
Too little iron stunts plant growth, too much iron results in algae problems.
Measures to increase the iron content in the freshwater aquarium:
The iron content can be increased by the addition of JBL Ferropol. Dosage can be monitored using the Fe Test Set.
As an alternative to JBL Ferropol, JBL Ferrotabs can also be used to increase the iron content.
When setting up a new aquarium, JBL AquaBasis plus should be added to provide sufficient iron for the first few weeks.
After 4-6 weeks the iron will have been used up and should be refilled using JBL Ferropol or Ferrotabs.
Measures to increase the iron content in the garden pond:
The addition of JBL Ferolon increases the iron content of the pond water.
The dosage can be precisely monitored with the JBL Fe Test Set.
Measures to increase the iron content in the saltwater aquarium:
Small quantities of JBL Ferropol can be used to increase the iron content. Saltwater aquariums often react sensitively to excess iron in the water, resulting in increased algae growth.
Dosing:
JBL Ferropol may also be used as day fertilizer; first, add the full dose to the aquarium water, followed by an outside screw top for 100 litres of aquarium water added daily. The dose may need to be adjusted depending on the intensity of the vegetation. Use the JBL Iron Test Set to monitor the optimum iron content of 0,1-0,2 mg/l.
JBL Tip:
Outside screw top: sufficient for 10 l of aquarium water
Inside screw top: sufficient for 30 l of aquarium water
Repeat doses in full amount every 1 to 2 weeks according to need
