Post Should I Add Iron?
My Iron levels are at 0 should i add (non-cleated) iron to my system or not?

Its for a mixed reef system I have started over the last 2 months, not much coral yet.

Thanx

Macro Algea like any plant will use the Iron to grow,but so will the micro algea.Maybe a good idea to only add iron if you are growing Macro.
