FishScience Iron Boost – High Concentration Iron Supplement for Planted Aquariums
Designed by FishScience, Iron Boost is a highly concentrated iron supplement formulated for planted aquariums. Iron is essential for chlorophyll production, vibrant red pigmentation, and strong, healthy plant growth. Particularly beneficial for demanding red plants such as Rotala, Ludwigia, and Alternanthera.
Iron plays a critical role in aquatic plant health and is one of the key nutrients required for chlorophyll production and efficient photosynthesis. Without adequate iron availability, plants can develop chlorosis, where leaves turn yellow due to chlorophyll loss, eventually leading to tissue necrosis and poor growth.
Iron Boost uses ferrous gluconate, a highly bioavailable form of iron that is more readily absorbed by aquatic plants compared to other iron sources.

Peter Walsh –
My Rotala plants have turned a deep red color after using Iron Boost for three months. The leaves are thick and vibrant. I noticed a significant improvement in color and growth compared to before.
Lucas Allan –
Used it once a month for six weeks. My Ludwigia plants started showing better color and less yellowing. The iron seems to be well absorbed by the plants.
Jennifer Morgan –
After switching from a low-iron regimen, my Alternanthera plants grew much more robust. The leaves are greener and more full. I’ve been using it every two weeks since.
Boris Black –
It works, but I had to adjust the dosage. I used it every four weeks and saw some improvement, but not as dramatic as expected.
