Am I doing the math backwards here?
If you feel you need more iron add more trace if Fe is unavailable to you, either way you will be set.

Flourish Comprehensive will do the same thing, not Flourish Trace, those two are different products.
I have used all the trace elements on the market and have found none to be any better than the other, so for me CSM+B wins because it is so much cheaper.
