I've been putting a tiny amount of feEDDHA in all of my tanks while I use up the last of my Aqueon Plant Food fertilizer, and there is a marked difference in the plants. Growth, green, and RED dwarf lilies. I stir in a pinch a little bigger than the tip of a ball point pen. The water turns slightly tannin colored.
I have been neglecting my lilies all winter, and most of the leaves had turned translucent, gotten very small, and melted off of the bulbs. So I put the good bulbs in my tanks with the FeEDDHA and in two weeks they have grown to the surface in a 29g, and I've been pinching the surface leaves back. Bulbs do love iron.
My dwarf lily bulbs have never done very well in hydroponic fertilizers, and feeding the bulbs separately from other plants was my only option. At this point, it appears the fully chelated iron makes a big difference.
I'll be making my own aquarium fertilizer using this FeEDDHA for sure. I don't recommend it for those who don't like the 'tannin' look. It's not a bad look to me at all.
