Aquarium Co-Op Easy Iron 16 oz
Aquarium Co-Op Easy Iron is a concentrated liquid iron supplement designed to support healthy aquarium plant growth and enhance the vibrant coloration of red, pink, and stem plants.

Easy Iron is especially beneficial for planted aquariums containing Ludwigia, Rotala, Alternanthera, Red Tiger Lotus, and other demanding plants that require additional iron to maintain deep reds and vibrant growth. The easy-to-dose liquid formula makes it simple to supplement iron without overcomplicating your fertilization routine.
