Most people find iron chelates to be effective. Fe-DTPA (aka Sprint 330, aka Sequestrene 330) is widely used, but it does come with the caveat that you need to limit the exposure of system water to sun. Otherwise the chelate will be destroyed by UV light rather quickly and the iron will become unavailable.

Folliar spraying of iron is also an effective way of getting more iron to your plants.
