Get well soon
How I understand it is Plantex is the CSM, B is the Boron (makes the classic CSM+B, and Greg adds this as a service), and the Plus Extra Iron is Greg's idea.
Yeah, I think you should get Plantex CSM+B Plus Extra Iron. It may be a while until Travis or Malkore or Steve Hampton or another advisor shows up, and explaining helps me, so hope how I would choose will help.
Say you do 3Tbl in 500mL of water (popular mix). 9mL of CSM+B in your 90
gal brings you to about .17ppm
Fe. Same dose of CSM+B with extra iron gives you about .26ppm
Fe. Both these numbers are reasonable under the Estimative Index. With some plants its very rewarding to increase iron, and Tom Barr's openness with results from very high
ppm is encouraging. So if you don't mind the $9 and think you may want to mess with iron alone later, I think you should get the
Fe chelate too.
I think I remember you liking the book: Walstad's Ecology of the Planted Aquarium suggests limiting
Fe limits algae. Many aquarists suggest .1ppm
Fe max. Just something to keep in mind.
Fe becomes unavailable quickly, and it forms a percipatate with
PO4 (tested with KH2PO4 after reading Tom Barr post about it in another forum), so you'll probably want to dose opposite macro days (following high light EI) when you feel better. Travis recommended here to use wisteria as an indicator of iron levels, as it turns yellow with low
Fe and bounces back quickly, should you want to use plants as indicators. I've been propogating wisteria and removing anacharis from my fuge since this recommendation, because he's right and its a nice saftey net, and wisteria is pretty cool.
Anyway,
