This experiment was very interesting. It was passed to me by a member of the planted tank.
The micronutrient levels display in the chart are above what would be typically found in CMS+B and are they values that has (at the time?) had the most success.
They are described in the article as 'full strength' concentrations. Two of the test subjects did not fare well and it was suspected that the 'relatively high' levels of micro nutrients was the cause (although further testing would be required.
After about 2-3 weeks using CSM+B you would easily exceed these levels especially if your replacement water is high in micro nutrients or you use an already trace rich substrate.
Toxicity would be species dependent of course.

Edit: that is targeting 0.2ppm fe 3 times a week using CSM+B
