All plants and animals need for healthy growth bivalent iron. Aqua Care Iron-II is in a chelated and therefore it will not oxidized to trivalent iron so fast. Products that are not protected with a chelating agent are only bioavailable for a very short time (few hours to days, depending on the concentration and ORP = redox potential).
In ultra-low nutrient sea water a dosing of iron (and trace elements) brings back the colours of SPS and LPS corals.

Dosing:
Fresh Water:
10 ml to 100 litres aquarium water every week
In aquaria with high productivity (strong lights; rapidly growing plant) you may dose the double.
If lots of green algae grow reduce the dose and find other fertilizing substances like nitrate and phosphate and find a way to reduce them to an adequate level.
The natural iron concentration in fresh water biotops is up to several mg/l. But in your aquarium concentrations of 0.2-0.5 mg/l are acceptable.
We recommend a water change of minium 5% per week.
Sea Water:
add 10 ml to 100 litres aquarium water every week
In aquaria with high productivity (strong lights; rapidly growing corals) you may dose the double.
If lots of green algae grow reduce the dose and find other fertilizing substances like nitrate and phosphate and find a way to reduce them to an adequate level.
The natural iron concentration in sea water biotops is about 10-60 µg/l.
We recommend a water change of minium 1% per week.
