What did I just create?

[Jman17H]

Being lazy, I just mixed flourish, flourish iron and fleet enima (Phosphates) in a small container before adding to tank. When I put it in, it was a milky looking cloudy stuff?

What did I do? And will it hurt anything?

I usually add them one at a time so apparently that will be the future also.

The phosphate will cause the iron to preciptate out, harmless to your fish but will make the iron unavailable to the plants. Iron and phosphates should be dosed on separate days, or at least 4 hours apart.

Oh, I was going to say that you made one killer enema!

Everthing is still swimming!

I figured I created some acid or something but I will accept just useless iron. I guess I learn something every day.
