Just want to find out what dosage rates of chelated iron people have found to be successful.

g/1000L would be helpful.
cheers

One teaspoon once a month

is that for a 2000L system F&F?

na he asked for 1000 litre i use 2 teaspoons for mine 2000

My mistake!

You were one step ahead of me!

A++

thanks F&F and for the clarification Steve (not that it was needed)

I had a question could Blood be used as a supplement for chelated iron. As Blood is very high in iron and you fish seem to have some when you kill them. As well those dang injuries you get while working on the system.

I suppose the source would have to be clean, much like the urine source. You'd also get other elements like potassium and sodium too.

Excellent idea - instead of visiting the blood bank, visit the fish tank. If I give out better biscuits than the blood bank, then I may even be able to get others around to donate.

Now where to get bone....

What sort of biscuits are we talking about VB

Chocolate coated ones of course

I like those chocolate girl guide ones

for a minute there I thought i was in general banter...

LOL... On the topic of other forms of iron.... Can you use normal iron fillings instead of the liquid chelated iron?

Chelated iron i use is powder
